Is this heavy? I am looking for a sippy cup for my 10 month old. I like that I can use his Dr. Brown nipples...right?

It does get a bit heavy and took a few weeks for my 11 month old to be able to pick it up and do it herself but eventually she got it and it's a great cup.

Yes, once it's full, but no more than a normal bottle I don't think. We've been using these for a few years now. I think you can use the dr Browns, but not 100%.

No, I don't think it is heavy... lighter then a glass bottle. I didn't fill it completely at first, & my little guy had no issues holding it. He used this as a sippy (with the blue nipple) for water from 8-12 months before switching completely to cups with straws. I would think most wide mouth nipples would work... Definitely not standard nipples though. The Pura website has a list of nipples that fit/work. I would just double check there.

it has a slide type opening & closing mechanism; really the only thing I did not like about it is the height of the cup it is a little off balance when full, top heavy is the correct term I believe. I know that wasn't your question but I just wanted to give you that information before you purchase the item. otherwise the cup is perfect.

My son has not used the sippy cup tops yet, we're still pretty much breastfed only. Sorry of little help.

I don't think it's very hard to drink from at all- this cup is valve free and seems to flow well. Still my son's favorite cup and he's 2 and a half now (we've been using this model since 11 months old)!

The nipple is not stretchy. It does fit in the ring of a born free bottle to make it a sippy cup as well as a nuk bottle ring.

No! Natural flow is level 1, slowest flow is level 0. Dr. Brown level 0 is known as for preemie which you have to purchase it separately. For my baby he use preemie nipples by different brands for his first month, otherwise the milk keep leaking from his mouth and occur choking.As comparesion, Dr. Brown is the best for no question. Never use playtex if you don't want to kill your baby.

Honestly I didn't like the nipples from medela. I used the pump and avent bottles. Don't think medela 's are good for newborns, case they are too soft.

It's a mix between soft and hard... not as soft as the Nuby brand but not as hard as Gerber or Playtex sippy cups.

It is big, but suction is little weird.. if you put the lid tight, water/milk wont flow easily.. you need to take out from baby's mouth and put it again, if you put little easy milk leaks.. If your child is picky as mine, I would advise you go with other cups.

This cup is certainly heavier than a normal plastic cup, but it is not overly heavy. I would not call the cup "lightweight" by any means; it is understandably heavier because of the material it is made out of. I do not find the weight of this cup to be a deterrent in my use of it.

I have not tried to use other bottle. My grandson is a year old and is still using Dr. Brown bottles and nipples.

These were the worst nipples for that problem for us as well... I finally just switched to dr brown's nipples with the venting system (you can use on almost any regular sized bottle opening... For example we use evenflo glass bottles)...

I put Dr Brown preemie nipples on mine and they were still aweful. It makes it very difficult to get formula with out air in it as the formula doesn't fill the nipple until the child actually sucks. Thus they suck in air and then formula. This is with every swallow. Mine were super fussy and gassy afterwards.

It is a bit on the heavier side, goes without saying the stainless steel construction vs. the typical plastic construction. But it is a very effective Sippy.

I tried both and my daughter seemed to prefer the Dr. Brown's; however all babies are different so you won't really know until you try it. I love these bottles!

I used BornFree as well as Dr. Brown's (with breast milk) and both were fine. Those two bottle shapes are very different-BornFree is very stout and Dr. Brown's are very slender. I cannot speak to Medela's use specifically but it does work well with many different shapes and sizes.
