Straw?  No straw?  Valve?  No valve?  Soft sprout?  Hard sprout?  Thanks!

A free flow sippy without a valve and with a hard spout was best for my LOs and they could use it easily very early on (6-7mo) without help. They did also do well with a straw sippy but sucking is bad for teeth so fre flow is better from that point of view.

Oh they also did well with an open cup. Doidy make a good one.

Mine did well with a soft spout one too - the action seemed similar to breastfeeding.

I find with the soft spout ones they can just chew it or suck it and that doesn't transfer well to a breast!

Ours was a boots one! It has a valve they have to suck the milk through into the soft spout.

Straws worked the best here for ds, the soft spout sippy worked for dd2, and the harder spout sippy worked for dd1.
