Recs for Good Cups/Bottles with Straws

jld49

Anyone recommend a particular brand cup or bottle with a straw to ween toddler off of sippy cups?

I've bought the munchkin and the nuby brand and find that my LO has to suck really really hard fo get water! It seems unkind to make him have to work so hard for his water! Is that the case for all of them? Perhaps I'm underestimating his ability to suck? 

Is there a reason to switch from sippy cup to straw with cup anyway?

DS has only ever used the Nuby ones.  Your LO might just need more practice- with those they have to bite and suck at the same time.  Sometimes I have to loosen the top slightly for DS.

The insulated straw cups from Tommee Tippee are great! They are virtually leak proof, but aren't hard to sip from. They are kind of a pain to put together since there's so many parts, but it's worth it IMO since they're so leak proof.

They're a little pricey, but I love Zoli Bot straw cups:

The playtex straw cup is pretty easy to suck from, no valve. We use the regular playtex straw cups with no problem and it has a small valve.

My sons also like to drink from my straw style water bottle. Monkey see, monkey do :]

I love the Playtex Insulated Straw Cups. The straw is thinner than the Nuby and Munchkin brands. DS has no issues drinking from it. I gave him a Munchkin cup and he had such a hard time and pretty much gave up.

The simplest is the Take and Toss cups, and once you've used them a few time that the straws they come with, you can start using disposable straws. Best part of transitioning to a straw is not having to take an extra cup out to eat.
