Just wondering is my DD too young to try water in one? She is FF and with the hotter weather I think needs a bit of water, but she doesn't like it from her bottle. Any suggestions? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Watties make one suitable from 4mths. I got it from Babycity. Corban has only really got the hang of drinking out of it in the last month though so your girl might be a bit young but no harm in trying  -------------

I gave my boy a sippy cup from 4 months and he got the hang of it reasonably quickly. I think you could totally start now, especially seeing she's formula fed
The best one I found was the Nuby with a soft spout and handles. Can get from baby city and the warehouse I think. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

We gave caden a sippy cup at about 4 months old, took him a wee while to figure it out but he got the hang of it eventually.
I agree with Liz, the Nuby ones were the best for caden too ------------- |

| Yeah I'd start now too. We just used the avent sippy tops for the bottles and got handles - I took the non-spill thing out for the first wee while to train him. I couldn't be bothered spending more money than needed really. Plus he never really liked sippy cups, went straight to a straw one at about 6 months. |
