for 8 month old?
I have bought 3 now a watties one a tommee tippee and I had one in the cupboard that is a hard teet that is the only one Alex seems to be able to drink from. He has always refused to take a bottle and so can't seem to get the hang of a cup so I am wanting one that he will hopefully fall in love with and use. Thanks =) |

There are a bunch of previous threads on sippy cups (search results http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/search.asp?KW=sippy&SM=1&SI=TC&FM=0&OB=1&Submit=Start+Search - here ), and in particular I asked a similar question which I've just bumped. I thoroughly recommend that Pigeon Magmag one, not least because you can experiment with the different spouts. -------------

Jack never took to a bottle and was fully bf. He liked the Nuby one with the soft spout but I thhink he did a lot of chewing on it. He seemed to do better with the soft spout, otherwise I had to take the valve out of the Watties one ------------- Lindsey

| We only really used the $2 tommee tippee ones from the supermarket. Cheap and does the job. |

We found that the really cheap plain ones from the supermarket worked the best for Livvy too. She found all the flow restriction/non-spill ones too difficult to drink from. -------------

The girls haven't taken to sippy cups so I went straight for those drink bottles that have a straw and they have adapted to them really quickly they are meant for one year + but we have used them with the girls since they were 9 months. They couldn't never get the hang of tipping the sippy cup up so with the straw all they have to do is hold the bottle and suck. I got the Tommi Tippy ones from the warehouse. They also sell them at countdown. -------------

| I hate the watties ones Dom couldn't get anything out of it and when I tried I could hardly get anything out either. In the end we got one of those Tommee Tippee ones that takes them through 3 stages, starts with a soft teat, then goes to a plastic sippy lid and then no lid at all. Its been great. I've heard that Nuby is good too. |
