This thing is amazing. I discovered it by looking up YouTube videos on how to cup feed and saw a 3 month old using it by himself! My daughter is exclusively breastfed but I have left her 3 times for a couple of hours each and this is the only other way she will take milk as she hates bottles.
You obviously have to know what you're doing and don't fill it all the way up but if you just tilt it so that the milk touches the baby's lips and rest it there, the baby will lap it up like a cat does. I recommend this cup all the time and it's a great price, too.I like this cup and have found it really useful in teaching my 10-month-old how to drink from a cup. We started using it at 6 months and it's not like he can just do it by himself now without spilling, but it's definitely teaching him to drink from a real cup. He's exclusively breastfed and doesn't take a bottle, so I was looking for a good way to get liquids into him. I've learned that regular sippy cups are generally not recommended by professionals, like speech therapists, because they teach drinking with an open mouth (which is not the same way you'd drink later on from a real cup). Not that big of a deal since most kids learn how to drink the right way when they're old enough, no matter if they used a sippy or not. But why use something that isn't really recommended and doesn't teach them something that's actually useful to them? We're continuing to use the Doidy cup, or just a real cup, and also a straw sippy cup (which teaches the same kind of closed mouth drinking that you'd use with a regular cup).This was just a joke invention? But I really felt bad for my 13 mo after giving her this. It's an optical illusion and she spilled it every which way, even when i was trying to help her! (She is well adept at sippys but i wanted to move her to a regular cup) Do not buy this if you were even considering it. Ridiculous product!
