Doidy Cup, 3 Months +, Baby & Toddler First Open Beaker, Unique Slanted Design for Training & Learning to Drink, weaning Essentials for Milk & Water (Trainer Cup, Yellow)

This has been such a helpful little cup, we also purchased the Bibado cups as the same time and whilst they are also good our little one likes to try and chew those (it’s the same material as his teethers so understandable). The Doidy is great all round. It’s much bigger which means I can see how much fluid my little one is tipping toward them, my little also really took to the handles on the side and the cup angle is really helpful as he hasn’t quite learnt to tip his head back yet but is still able to drink successfully. We started using this about 6.5 months and he’s able to drink from this supporting it himself now at 8.5 months.

A really great cup for a 6 month old learning to drink from a cup. It doesn't need as much tilting for the water to come out as with a normal cup and it's very lightweight as well and feels nice to hold. The handles on the sides are also useful. I also wanted something that's not made of silicone like every other baby item is these days, so it ticked that box as well.

We’ve had this cup since my baby was six months old. She was breastfed prior to weaning but occasionally had expressed milk from a bottle. For the first month or so very little water got consumed. I would tip it for her and she would poke her tongue inside and lap at the water like a kitten. Just when I was about to give up something clicked for her. She now gulps water quite successfully with every meal. At nine months, I still hold the cup for her and tilt it. Some days she likes to wash her hands in the cup (fine by me, there’s less scrubbing to be done in between her fingers) and some days she still misjudges things and ends up coughing and spluttering. She likes playing with the cup when it’s empty too. She’s successfully drunk from it totally independently on a couple of occasions, but I think if I was a bit more relaxed about water ending up all over the floor she might be able to do it a bit more consistently by now. I’ve only used the cup at home so far, because of the mess. I haven’t bought a sippy cup to use out and about because I don’t want to confuse her, she just breast feeds on the go. I think this cup is great and with patience and perseverance she’s getting there. I’m not sure who these child geniuses are who can use the cup from twelve weeks. Don’t expect those kind of results for every baby! Update: at about 18 months she is now very confident to drink out of more or less any open cup, as long as she is seated. I do think the doidy cup helped because she was able to start practicing with it so young Update for baby number 2: I tried a sippy cup for my second baby to minimise mess, but he couldn’t work out what to do with it! I’ve gone back to the Doidy cup after about a month of no water being consumed and he loves it! Very similar results to my first baby at nine months.

Cute lookign design and an instant success !

Today my son, who is now almost 7 months, leaned forward in his high chair seat, picked up his doidy cup with both hands, accurately brought it up to his lips, tipped it up and gave himself a drink of water. It was fantastic to see him do this for himself. (He then gave us both a shower by enthusiastically banging the cup on his tray, but nevermind, it was nearly bathtime anyway!). Seriously, I believe these cups are recommended as they encourage the development of facial muscles - needed for a child's speech development. You have to expect a bit of wet mess (and I wholly recommend those bibs with a fleecy front panel which absorb the spilt liquid brilliantly). And yes it is a little less convenient when on-the-move than a sippy cup, but I still think that a child's development - through experimentation and practise using a doidy cup - is more important than our own convenience, most of the time anyway. A child is going to use a mug/adult cup eventually anyway, so why not give them something similar but a little more manageable to start with? Goes very much hand-in-hand with baby led weaning principles I think, if you are folowing this approach, but anyone can benefit from using them. I now want to add (Summer 2013)-four years later: I still have this exact same cup, and intend to use it for my third child in a few months time! It has stood the test of time. They are very sturdy. I would still very much recommend this product.

Open cup - and therefore supervision is definitely advised! My baby loves these cups. She is able to confidently handle the cup and drink (but be there to catch it when she finishes!) Far more comfortable with these than sippy cups. The slanted design enables her to raise the cup high enough to drink without moving her head back too much. It also enables her to see the water move towards her lips. The handles are perfect for little fingers. The cup is sturdy and well made. Overall, a perfect open cup introduction (I started at around 7-8 months), but supervision highly recommended or you will have a very wet floor!!

Amazing bowl and cup. Had them for 2 years now and using daily!! My son is 2.5 and they’re still going strong. Very happy with the purchase.

Was recommended this cup from a weaning course I attended. I found that my baby (now toddler) struggled to drink from it, the water would tip quickly out of the cup each time spilling everywhere and over my baby. You are better off finding an alternative cup with handles which isn't spouted. We ended up taking the lid off our tommee tippee free flow trainer cup and this worked much better for a baby/toddler

Polecam kubek. Dziecku wygodnie się z niego pije. Widzi gdzie jest woda przez co nie wylewa wszystkiego na siebie.

It's perfect. First try and babe got the hang of it. 6 months old. Delivery was way faster then expected too.

Mi bebe de 6 meses la adora la Doidy Cup. Muy útil para enseñarle a beber.

Super, klappt wirklich gut. Meine Tochter trinkt, seitdem wir den Becher haben, eigenständig.

ottimo prodotto, ma con un MA. Ho provato ad assaggiare la pappa dopo che era stata nel piatto e sa di detersivo. Nel senso, lavando il piatto nella lavastoviglie questo prende il sapore di detersivo che poi viene trasmesso alle pietanze. Non penso sia tossico e la bambina non capisce la differenza, ma non sono troppo soddisfatto della cosa. il bicchiere invece ottimo.
