****Editing after using for over a year***** My son is almost 2 now and I've literally purchased 10 sets of these (especially when the price drops to $6). These are HANDS DOWN the BEST milk sippys on the market. We've tried the 360 cups and he just couldn't get the hang of those. He likes these straw cups because he doesn't have to tilt it to get milk out, so he can watch his night time episode of peppa pig before bed without his cup blocking his view. These are the EASIEST TO CLEAN straw sippys that we've found (we just put all pieces in the dishwasher). We recently went on vacation and left 3 out of the 4 cups we brought in my brother's dishwasher. We were an hour away when he realized it and called us....we were not turning around just for cups, so we stopped at a walmart on the way to our next destination and sadly, no one carries these cups in store. So my husband bought 3 different straw cups to hold us over for the next few days....2 nuk ones and a tommee tipe....only one nuk cup didn't end up getting tossed in the garbage can when we got home.
**the reason I've bought so many sets is we like to have enough to last 3 days without running the dishwasher (3 milk cups a day) and we've also lost several due to forgetting them in the car with pedeasure in them in the hot summer...after just a few hours you cannot save them, even with bleach.
We're currently transitioning our 8 month old from sippy cups to either straw cups or the 360 cups because it's recommended by speech pathologist so his tongue movement and palate can form correctly.
I started out with normal plastic straws putting my finger on the top to trap some water in it and then putting the other side in his mouth and slowly letting water out...pretty quickly he started sucking on the straw to get water, so I got these cups.
I love Avent. We use their bottles and used the "my first sippy" starting from 4 months of age. This cup is great! It doesn't leak, and comes with a flip top cover for traveling. There aren't a ton of pieces (see picture), so it's easy to clean. We just disassemble and put everything in the dishwasher.
I like that the straw top that he drinks out of is soft silicone (they make replacement parts too, which I will definitely be ordering, because with teething, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he takes a chunk out of it).
My son pretty easily figured out how to suck to get water out (it only took a few tries).
I like the straw on this one over other straw sippys I've looked at, because the straw is short and wide. I feel comfortable running it in the dishwasher attached to the side of the bottle basket. Most other straw sippys (like the weighted straw ones I was looking at) have thin flexible straws that I would have to clean by hand with a straw brush....I'm a full time working mom, I don't have the time or energy for that.
All in all, LOVE these. Will be ordering a second set in the larger size.
