Sippy cups

We are attempting to get our 11 month old on sippy cups. One is too hard for
her to get her juice out (low flow) and is a bit awkward. The other drips
too fast. Does anyone have their recommendations of the best cup?

Thanks

Walmart sells one called "Nuby". It comes in several colors, is
pretty easy to handle and the valves can be inserted as fast flow or
slow flow. We've been using them for several years.

'Nuby' also carries a soft spout sippy cup. We had success with that one at
a yougn age.

We've been using the Nuby soft spout with Matt and it's been great. The one
thing that's not that great is that when he's teething he tends to bite down
on the soft spout and the valves get chewed out, making it drip. They're
cheap, though, so not a problem to replace the leaky ones.

A lot of my friends got their kids onto cups with straws that can be hidden
with a kind of hood. I don't know what the cups called but they've had
pretty good success with them, even around 12 months of age. Again, the
straw tends to get chewed, but I don't know how they deal with that, never
having used those cups myself.

It might help to mention which ones you've tried. We use Platex and Gerber.

Also, I gave my girls sippy cups with water first, and took out the valve,
so they got the hang of it, and it didn't matter if the spilled on
themselves or the carpet.

We did something similar. DS couldn't get the hang of squeezing the
nipply bit to get the water out so we took the valve out and sort of
tipped it down him. We switched to the Tommy Tippee cups as they were
easier for him to hold and haven't looked back. He still chucks it on
the table but that's just for fun!.

One is just a cheap one that came with a plate set. The other is an Avent.
The Avent is the one that is hard to get stuff out of.

Thanks for all the advice everyone!

I think this is the brand my daughter used as well. She only ever really
liked and used one kind, we wasted a lot of brands trying but I think Nuby
is the one we used. After she graduated from this sippy cup, which is
actually more like a bottle, she uses those First Years Take and Toss
plastic cups with lids and separate straws. Those things are great- they
don't leak and they are tossable but you can use one for quite awhile before
it gets worn around the lid. She still uses those.

But yeah, I think Nuby is the sippy cup she used, it's closer to a bottle
(she was breastfed and never used any actual feeding bottles)...we would
have to replace them semioften because the valves would get chewed and then
one side would sort of tear open to where the flow would be too fast. I
guess you can replace the valves? But they are so cheap we just replaced the
whole cup...

Maybe THIS is the Nuby we used---it had a very soft spout and was more like
a bottle than a cup? Then we graduated to the First Years Take and Toss cups
with the lids and straws..she never would use the other Take and Toss sippy
cups...only the ones with lids and straws, not just the lid with the built
in sipper.
