The First Years 7oz Squeeze and Sip Straw Cup - 2pk

Love these! My baby learned how to use the straw the first day he used them!

Writing this review because as a FTM everything is trial and error, and it's so satisfying when I find an actual winner. I introduced these cups at 9 months, after about a month of successful practice with a 2oz open cup, and after complete rejection of a Tippee sippy cup. My baby got the hang of this straw cup within the first few offerings, and can now pick it up and drink from it on her own. The only thing we have to figure out now is how to get her to stop and take a breath! But it looks like we're skipping sippy cups altogether. As for the valve inside the straw, it's really no problem because an 8-9 month old baby's suction is STRONG (IYK,YK). I'm thoroughly impressed by the ease and simplicity of these cups, and looking forward to having them replace bottles soon. I don't put them in the dishwasher, but after handwashing Dr Brown air vents for the past several months, these are a breeze to hand wash and dry, all you need is a bottle brush and a straw tool. The cup itself is thin plastic, but it just makes it lightweight and easy to handle. They have survived several drops onto the floor so far with zero problems. Highly recommend.

I would recommend for a baby being introduced to a straw cup and learning to drink from one as you can squeeze the cup showing them that liquid comes from the straw. It reminds me of the bear cups feeding therapists use on babies but these have a larger diameter stare than the bear cups. This didn’t suit our needs because our child is older and knows how to drink from a straw so any holding of the cups and you get milk sprayed everywhere.

One of the best straw cups! I’ve tried so many and I keep coming back to this brand. Although it’s not ideal for travel since there’s no cover, this helped both my daughters to learn how to drink from a straw, cleaning is so easy and simple and can’t beat the price for 2!! Highly highly recommend! I just wish it was a bit bigger and had other colors lol (also just to add, it does spill if dropped but majority of cups do this so I don’t mind!)

Love! I tried a couple others and my little one just wasn’t getting the hang of the straw until these. It’s easy to squeeze the cup to help them get water until they can drink on their own and the water comes out easy through the straw when they learn how to use the straw. The cup is a good size and fits great in their small hands.

I tried several different sippy cups with my baby and this one worked the best to teach him to drink from a sippy cup (especially a straw). I have noticed, at times, that it’s difficult to drink from. If you have that issue, try removing the lid and retightening it. That worked for us. I think it was a suction issue and releasing the pressure fixed our issue.

It’s really nice, easy to use.

The cup is hard to squeeze or get water out when baby tries to sip on straw. This was not helpful in teaching baby how to use straw.

My niece loved these so much perfect size for little hands

Baby was able to catch on to drinking through a straw after one day. Love the design.

I love the concept of squeezing the cup to teach baby how to drink from a straw. My son picked the skill up in less than 5 minutes. All the parts are easy to clean and quick to assemble.

Way easier to clean compared to other straw cups. Add-on: Works great with dr brown bottle handles. First cup at 6months- Baby get a hang of it after few times trying with adult help. Spill proof. Packaging looks very cheap though

These were a favorite of ours when starting solids and adding water into our baby’s diet! Helped her catch on to drinking out of a straw so quickly! We kept one at home and sent one to daycare.

They are spill proof. It was very hard for me to squeeze being older hard to suck up through the straw

These cups are amazing. I wish I’d gotten them sooner. So brilliant. I feel like my one year old is already drinking well on his own. I took me months to teach my first with other methods. I strongly recommend these.

Got this to teach baby to use a straw. It has not worked. Main reason is the valve makes it too hard to suck out of the straw! As an adult I had to suck pretty hard and so my baby didn’t even understand. Got a refund.

Was looking for a good first straw cup for my baby to learn and this hit all the marks. You can squeeze it to help water come up, small enough for babies to hold, easy cleaning. There isn’t measuring lines but that’s not a deal breaker for me

We had our 6 month old start with this straw cup (completely bypassing the sippy cups). By the next week, she was sipping on her own. We now give her milk and water through this straw cup. It’s much easier to clean than bottles! Plus, when she shakes this cup, barely any liquid escapes, unlike with bottles! During play, she tosses this cup aside so it lies horizontally on the floor, and there’s still no leak. It probably could leak if it’s held completely upside down, but we haven’t had any issues. This cup is great! But if there’s one thing I’d like, it would be for the cup to have measurements.

My 9 month old was able to figure out the straw cup on her first use with this cup! Highly recommend

OMg where was this 10 years ago with my first child! Super easy to use and got my soon to be one year old to use the straw with ease. Love this!
