My 10-month old son occasionally uses a sippy cup, but he seems to need help with it. The one we have is heavy and difficult to manage, so I'm thinking of trying some different types.
What brand have you had the best luck with?

My son did good with the nubby brand of sippy cups with the soft spouts but then he started to like drinking from a straw just before his 1st birthday. I bought him the take and toss with straws and he loves them and that's all he uses now and he sometimes uses a juice box.

My son LOVES his nuby sippy cup. We bought a couple of the playtex brand sippy cups but he refuses to drink from them. The part that goes in their mouth is very soft on the nuby brand but the playtex is much, much harder (he hit his teeth with them a few times then after that will only use his nuby).

I never bought a sippy cup because they can damage teeth, gums, and are unneccesary. Teach your child to drink properly from a cup and move on. It's easy enough - put small amounts in the cup and keep the drinking in the places where if they spill it's not a big deal. It's also harder to break them from it later on and there is nothing more ridiculous than a 4 year old with a sippy cup!

My little girl uses Tommie tipee but she also has a milk bottle with handles made by avent which has a interchangeable teat so you can go from bottle teat to sippy cup with ease and it has handles on it which can be easily removed my little girl has been able to use this since 10 months.( see mothercare url) If you decide to go for a cup try a doide cup from john lewis the are angled at the top so the little one can see the milk/juice coming towards them easily ( This was recommended by my health vistiors)

My daughter (at 4) still likes her princess 1st year cup or the munchkin ones. But she only gets it in the car. The rest of the time it's a cup.
My son (2) liked the Playtex cups (specifically the one with the frog and trucks)
