Can this be used for a 9-month old to drink water or milk out of?

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend these. We bought two sets, and they all leaked every time. Not just a little leak, fluids stream out of them. We tried them with the life factory bottles & other glass bottles. All leaked terribly from the bottoms of the caps, & the spouts.

If your kiddo is ready for a sippy cup then this will work fine. I think my little one was closer to 12 months before we started offering sippies.

Yes, as long as that 9mth old can use a sippy? Mine is almost 3 yrs old & she still doesn't like the sippy...

My experience is that the valve inserts are quite finicky and even when they are seated in properly, they are very difficult to drink from. Our 4/2 year olds had trouble getting much out with the valves in. Liquids flow freely without the valves, so much so that it spills out when tipped.

Yes- but they are a bit tricky to use. My daughter had a hard time with the silicone piece that goes in the cap, she could never get any water out. I just took it out. It flows fast so if the bottle tips over the fluid will leak out. I don't have any problems with it leaking out from other parts of the cap though.

My 9 month old is around 30" and uses it on its tallest setting (almost a standing position). It's great for feeding and easy to travel with for feedings. He used it early to work on sitting up, just used a towel to help prop him up (around 5-6 months) I would buy this again. I imagine we have a couple more inches and he will have grown out of it.

Yes you can. If your baby can use a straw they are able to use this cup. My daughter started using these around 10 months old.

I think so. My 18 month old uses this one and a smaller one. You can adjust the flow with the tightness of the cap...but I think my child will use hers for many years.

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.

Maybe with an older child who is able to drink from a regular cup, but I wouldn't use them with liquids with a little one. It could get very messy very quickly! Haven't had a problem with my kiddo opening the seal at the bottom- I don't think he realizes it's there. He is 23 months.

My son learned to drink from the straw (he skipped the sippy feature all together) when he started solids at 6 months old. It took him a couple days, but he figured it out.

My son has been using this for about a year now, maybe more. They can use it as long as you feel comfortable with them using sippy cups.

It wasn't fast enough for my son when he was ~15 months. That lead to him gulping air and throwing up the few times we tried to use this bottle. We scrapped it and got the Nuby 10 oz. no spill sippy cup. We still use that for his milk cup without any issues.

There are designed for babies just learning how to drink out of cups - the top is shaped more like a bottle nipple than a traditional sippy cup. I would say anywhere from 5 months to one year depending on how soon you want to start introducing the baby to a cup and when your baby is ready. Gramma Sharon

Yes, it's still leakproof as far as I can see. But we don't travel with it coz it's too small for a 3yr old :). We use it at home extensively and for water only. There are plenty of grooves in the cover for milk to curdle so I won't use it for milk.But I would think it will travel well, cos my toddler sometimes hold it upside down and shakes it and nothing comes out. I would put it into a separate clean bag on it's own tho, as the child's mouth will be drinking directly from the lid.

I think you can. Probably she may not be able to do it right till a little older. But it can be used as starter cup. Great for learning. My girl started at about 1 year plus. I think you can start at any age depending on what makes you comfortable.

That is the top if the sippy, the straw is actually inside the cup (though it can be removed). My daughter started using this sippy at 6 months. I let her play with it a bit before adding any liquid so she could get used to it. She would not drink out if bottles, but she loves this sippy!

You can use it to serve cereal to your kids. Use cold milk. I don't think if the material is hard enough for hot or even warm liquids.

I dont think that is possible. The straw is removable from the mouth piece. Have you tried the zoli cups? My boys started on those when they were 7months old.

You actually don't want a sippy that would be very hard for a baby/ or child to get liquids from. The mouth does not need to learn to suck and this can be detrimental, if it's always the way he/ she is drinking. There is current research on this but it's a newer finding in the last couple of years. There are speech problems from them and palette formation issues. Experts now suggest they only be used during a transition period between bottle and cup. It may be worth it to keep those kids carpets around until they're old enough to use cups without frequent spills.

I gave it to my 8 month old and she was able to figure it out. I think a 1 year old would be fine! I started her without the straw so she would know to sip it like a bottle and once she realized that she could sip it without leaning back, using it with the straw works great!
