Im thinking of getting one, Izzy can now (although rarely I let her just in case lol) drink when holding a small cup with both hands...but she finds it hard to tip it back, I suppose it would be hard while holding with 2 hands!

SO Im thinking now is the time to get one? Is it too early? Are there other cups worth considering?

Tayla has a little plastic mug she got in a peppa pig chocolate set for xmas and she drinks from that perfect! Shes had lots of practise from stealing my tea! (cold tea btw!)

I remember my HV recommending them to me when Moo wouldn't take a bottle (in the BF'ing days)..They are tiny though, have you seen them..its like a little espresso cup lol

Oliver's got one of these

Got it from asda for 75p and its brill..although he does just tend to use his TT cups without a lid.

The doidy cup is small is it?! ohhh I thought it was like a normal cup size ..pooooooo

Maybe I should carry on with her moo beakers and take the lids off instead? Cos she drinks loads and would annoyed having something so small

Yer, My friend had one for her little lad and it looked tiny - smaller than the TT cups, bet it'd only fit about 4floz in it..if that

ohhh thats pants - Izzy drinks more than that before her brekkie and gets mardy if it runs out as it is!

We had a doidy cup when lily was tiny and they are small., I have just started taking hte lid off her normal beaker and making sure its not too full xx

Right thats tomorrows plan then - what do you think the chances of me getting soaked with a beaker of juice are?!

I only tend to give Oliver cups without lids at meal times (at the table) other wise it'd be over the floor cos he drinks as he's playing then just randomly throws it across the room when he's distracted. Saying that he demanded the lid on yesterday so he could drink it quickly

Just try her with 2/3oz and top up as required

Milo has his own cups, don't think they're the same as doidy cups, just a regular cup. But it is small - holds about 150mls i think - so he get a fair few refills! He's great with it now, rarely spills ( and runs for a tissue to wipe it up if it does spill ) but it was a long journey! Think I first gave him one at about a year, and there were a lot of spills.. I'm sure Izzy will get the hang of it quickly!

I found the downside to him using a cup so well is that he now steals my tea/juice/hot choc all the time! We each have a cup of redbush tea together in the evening now - it's the only way I get a whole cupful to myself!

oliver has a doidy cup, it was leo's i bought for bfing(never did get the hang of feeding a tiny baby with a cup ) anyhow as zee says its quite small, oliver has a normal tt beaker for brekki n befor bed but i give him drinks in the day in it and its fine for that, i just have to make sure he sat down otherwise he thinks he can swing it about like a beaker x
