LO is still using the sippies she started with when she was about 8 months old -- Tommee Tipees. Should we be using anything different? I love that they almost never spill, but am thinking that we should help her learn the next step in drinking... So what is it? I know at some point, it's just regular cups. Anything between now and then? Pls recommend specific products if you have any faves!
BTW, she does know how to suck from a straw.
Re: Next step in sippies?
What is a hard top sippy?
Here's what she uses now:

I'm assuming next step, straw cups.
DS has been drinking from a straw for about 2 months now, and is 100% on sippies.
I haven't found any straw cups I feel comfortable giving him yet independently. The cups at restaurants he sometimes will tip; box juice he will hold (amazing); at home I have these bite-down straw cups specifically for toddlers but they're even hard for me to sip on.
Any recommendations for straw cups for toddlers?
Munchkin has a good one. They have a flip open top and the straw comes out at more of an angle, and I noticed that DD was less likely to try and tip it like a hard spout sippy when we first started. I gave her those at 12 months and she did great, we still use them sometimes but she will drink out of whatever now. They don't leak at all either! I got mine at BRU but I have seen them at Target also.
