We still use the tommee tippie cups alot - the flip up spout ones? We used one of their larger beaker ones with a valve but weren't impressed (when it falls on the floor the whole lid cracks open a bit and results in a huge puddle! Plus the faff of the valve). Why can't you use the fruit shoot bottle? You can get mini sports-cap water bottles for little ones from supermarkets, I'm sure - would they be any better? x
