Did any of you whose picky baby accepted this bottle find a good sippy cup to use as the next step?

My baby is only 5 mos so we are doing a nuk brand sippy soon. I think Nuby makes a sippy tho with a nipple like top.

I believe so however I ended up really hating this sippy. It would constantly leak out of the straw. After my son would take a drink the pressure build up would just explode out of the straw and all over. The best sippy cup that I have found that truly is leak proof and spill proof are the Munchkin Click and Locks. Absolutely love those sippys, and they have a straw one too!

Some will sit in the little spout sometimes, but this is one of the best stainless steel cups that I could find. I also like the Kleen Kanteen Sippy. I would recommend both.

If the tot has been "sippy cup" trained and is being observed the first few times using an open mouth cup, I think they are thick enough. If the whole cup of liquid spills, the little one will have wet clothes under the bib.

They have to suck to get the liquid. It frustrates my 18 month old to no end. It was easy to clean. I ended up buying a straw sippy cup (those are not fun to clean).

Most of the sippy cups should fit. I use the Avent without the handle and it works great. I also have few others non Avent and all fit well. I have two Tommee Tippee, one to hold her cold drinks and the other for the hot/warm milk. She prefers her milk lukewarm and in winter this keeps her milk from getting too cold.

It depends....my pediatrician recommended starting my son on sippy cups by his 1st birthday. I started with the sippy part and after 3 days he got it so I moved to the straw and thst only took him one day. However, this cup is horrible for the straw...yes it taught my son howto use it but the pressure bbuild-up made the milk always come up the straw and pour out all over the place. I recommend Munchkin click and lock cups, theyv have a straw cup to and no matter how many times it gets dropped it never leaks! Hope this helps.

My son has dropped them numerous times, and the bottle has passed the test consistently. The sippy cup cap though has not as it breaks with impact. We have put the bottle aside and will resume once he passes the "drops everything over the side" phase.

I just screwed the lid on like any bottle or sippy cup. I did not over tighten or under tighten. Just snug. Then they suck on the edge and it comes out. I tried it.... Works great. My 4 and 6 year old kids want one too. I have not tried milk in it yet but it should be fine. No leaks that i have seen.

I don't think so. If I remember correctly Dr. Brown's bottles are pretty narrow around the rim and Avents are generally wider. If you are about to start training your baby for the sippy cup I do recommend getting an actual sippy cup, for example Nubi stage one with the soft tip. You do not want your child to be confused.

I believe the infant version was more for bottles, this is more for sippy cups.

It wasn't for my kid. I had much more success with The First Years Take & Toss straw sippy cups. Since they're made of a a plastic that you can squeeze, you can squeeze the liquid up to the top of the straw so that my kids could get the idea of the straw. Then you squeeze a little bit less each time so they have to suck a little more. Both of my kids were drinking through a straw within 24 hours using this method.

It's hard for my toddler to open, which is why I like it :-), but I think it would probably be fine for a 5 and 7 year old. You do have to hold the button down (which is under the latch clip/handle) WHILE drinking, unlike other bottles where you flip the lid/straw/latch and it stays open until you close it. Unless you're pushing the button the water won't come out.

Yes, we've been really pleased with it. If the baby isn't breastfed then there's no point buying this, but if the baby switches back and forth between bottle and breast you'll be happy to have it. If you're buying it for a mom who already has a bunch of Medela stuff (pump, bottles, etc) then I recommend buying the CALMA nipple in the 8oz option. Unless the prices have changed, you get way more for your money with that option (2 bottles versus just 1) and I already had a bunch of 5oz Medela bottles. The two 8oz bottles that came with the CALMA nipple i purchased are still the only two 8oz bottles I own, so I'm glad I did it that way....kinda killed two birds with one stone.

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!

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.

Our baby did not have an issue with latching, the problem was with the Chicco bottles. He got lazy from those bottles because he did not have to suck hard to get the formula/breast milk, so he did not want to nurse. Once we switched the the Medela nipple, that issue went away. They have to build up a vacuum in order to get the milk to flow through the nipple, mimicking the nursing process. They are expensive, but well worth it.
