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?

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   They don't tend to drink huugge volumes anyway.

 

The best one I found was the Nuby with a soft spout and handles.  Can get from baby city and the warehouse I think.

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.
