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.

hi , looking over the reviews it sounds like they come with a average nipple not for newborns so maybe get some nipples for newbornsand save the ones they come with for the future . i bought this product as a baby gift for my niece's baby . her baby shower was huge but the baby bottles she used were the ones i bought her . those old fashion glass ones along with another gift of all 3 stages of nipples.

I bought the 5oz one for my son and it came with a slow flow nipple. He loved it and it still is his favorite bottle to use at 10 mo. I don't know if the 8 oz version cones with the slow flow but if it does I would definitely recommend it!

We went almost straight from the Stage 1 nipple to this and our daughter did just fine. The only problem we had was as she got older we had to remove the silicone insert that makes it spill proof b/c she would suck on it too hard and it would bunch up under the cap. I don't know if that would be a problem with such a young babe but the simple solution there was to just remove the insert. That does, however, make it spill-able. Good luck!

The straw comes with all the safe sippy 2 cups but can be removed if not needed. My daughter is 19months and still doesn't use it so we're just saving it. The spout is hard on all the cups and can not be changed, it's part of the construction. I wouldn't recommend giving this cup to a 6 month old. Our daughter started using this cup at 10 months and by 11 months she was only using the cup. She caught on pretty quick so maybe just wait a bit, 6 months is kind of young for any cup.

My baby would not take the tommee tippee bottles but this is the only nipple she would take. She is 4 mo & uses the medium flow & isn't gassy @ all! I would recommend this nipple especially for a baby who won't take any other bottle. If you're looking for something that specifically helps reduce gas maybe Dr Brown's (just from what I have heard, baby wouldn't take those either). I use the mOmma nipples w Avent bottles so it fits in the bottle warmer

The flow is similar to the regular nipple for this bottle, as another mentioned...it does tend to increase over time with use. I've notice two basic sippy cup "differentials: those with no "regulator" insert/diaphragm (like this one) and those with an insert (such as the Joovy Dood ) Inserts tend to be slower than the Philips model shown here.

I think it does, but the beauty is it doesn't spill (unless your child starts chewing on the nipple and it breaks). It's the only sippy cup my son would take. ONLY ONE.

We used it as a transition from the bottle to a sippy cup. It is the same as the 5 oz NUK bottles with a soft spout sippy cup nipple. My daughter started using it and figuring it out around 8 months, but could easily go younger. We used the handles with a bottle nipple at first. We love these.

I started my 6 month old on these instead of sippy cups - he can't do it yet himself obviously, but I feel very comfortable with him with these cups and he drinks well from them - my daughter was using these at 13 months (didn't have them prior)

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!

My son started using them around 10-11 months and still occasionally uses them now at 16 months. It was a nice transition from bottle nipple to sippy cup. Most of the sippy cups have the hard spout and my son couldn't pull the fluid out until he was over a year. Hope that helps.P.S. Be careful because while teething my son bit through the holes in the top and the bottles started leaking. We bought replacement nipples but he just did it again :)

The bottle is fine for nine month olds, but the nipple is for babies 0-3 months old. I bought Dr. Brown's Stage 3 nipples for my 8 month old and they have worked well with these bottles.

The spout is very similar to a bottle. Just different shaped. If you're baby can handle a fast flow nipple then they can handle this. We still use them at 19 months in the car to keep things clean...even though he drinks out of regular cups now too.

I want to say yes! I am not 100% sure but it seemed me as they were. Because when u bought level 1 nipples from another brand it would pour less than with this nipple. I used it for my new born he was fine with it he got used to it with out a problem. They are so convenient!

My boys have only used them with sippy spouts, but from what I hear from reviews, the nipples seem to be level 2 and 3.

Not at all! We had had for 6 to 7 months and not 1 problem at all. Our son did bite through 1 nipple because we didn't pay attention that he was teething, but that is what can happen with any bottle!I give it a 9.7 out of 10 because I wish they had more schemes other then the two we have found available. It would be nice to have different patter or colors to tell if one is a juice cup and one is a milk etc.I say buy it, you will love them!
