what's the best sippy cup for a breastfed baby?

AVENT I love them, My 4 month old uses it.

Gerber makes a sippy cup called "nuk" w/ a super soft and flexible spout. It's the only sippy my dd would take. The others we tried were too hard. You can find it in the aisle w/ the baby bottles. Also agree w/ the take and toss cups, those are great to travel w/ and the liquid will just come out and help him get the idea. At 7mths I would try the regular sippy first, especially if he already knows to "tip" the cup towards his mouth. Good Luck.

Get him sippy cups without spill-proof valves- my son just could not drink out of them. It makes it hard for them to pull the liquid out. Also, most cups have removable valves so you can just pull them out. If he can't suck a straw now, he's probably not ready for those, but those cheap plastic "take n toss" sippy cups work great. They are available at Wal-Mart, and they come in different sizes for younger and older kids.

avent...they are perfect for transition, and you can put avent bottle nipples and tops on them. they have handles and are very easy for baby to hold. i also love the take and toss cups. we lose so many cups, that i don't feel as bad. the munchkin brand has lids that screw on... the other ones can spill if your little one throws cups.

ADVENT has a really good sippy cup, it says on it "esiest to transition from breast or bottle" my daughter is soo in love with nursing she would never take a bottle or any other sippy but she took this one no prob. goodluck!

What worked for us was the Munchkin "no spill" straw cup. I laid my son down the first time like he would for a bottle, then after he got breast-milk out of it, I sat him up. He thought it was absolutely the coolest thing that he could walk (he was 10 months old) around and drink milk at the same time. He figured it out the very first time and has never used another sippy cup. He's two now and only drinks from a cups with a straw or regular cup.

Whatever one he will take! You can try the recommended ones, but son was very picky about which cup he would drink out of. We wound up using an evenflo cup with a soft spout because he wouldn't drink out of any other one for the first couple of months of cup use. Be prepared in case you have to try a variety of cups- don't buy more than one of each kind until you know that he'll drink out of it.

Nuby has a no spill straw sippy cup which I really love. I've spent tonnes on cups trying to find the right one for my son, and that one was the winner. It doesn't make a huge mess (though there is some, more often when he's playing with it rather than drinking from it).

I love the nubby brand they have a soft rubber mouth piece thats easy for them, I would stay away from the straw sippy cups for awhile their a terrible mess when they tip them over.
