I have not recieved my cup form amazon yet but have just order three because they are excellent. My son is seven months old and with help form his pops has always used a doidy cup. (a smaller one to start with ) He never liked a bottle teat in his mouth and on the very few occasions my husband tried to give him my expressed breast milk it seemed easier for him to take it from a cup. My son was exlusivly breast fed so when we started using this cup for other liquids at six months he found it more agrreable. The elipses mouth means that it is easier to drink from without spillage or choking and gagging becasue the parent can control the amount of fluid that is allowed to enter the childs mouth.The elipses alaos means that the fluid stays just as the lip of the cup and the baby can lap the fluid like a kitten, this is vital before six months to avoid choking and it also avoids bottle-teat and breast-nipple confusion which can happen if babies are bounced between bottle and breast too young or too soon. Using this type of cup does indeed mean that a the parent must give constant supervision until the child has mastered the art of sipping for itself but I would rather sit and teach my child to drink from a cup that do the boring housework... too often children are expected to manage new skils by themselves and are given apparatus to do so by themselves and I believe this is somethime what can hold them back. Why put off what children are entilrey capable off and my son certainly prefers his water like this (like the grown ups are doing it) to having a plastic spout in his mouth. (I have to say I did try to suck myself the spouty cup we gave him at six months and boy it was indeed revolting, no wonder he didnt fancy doing that!!!!) doidy cups are great, easy enough for children to hold (little handles to grip) and master drinking from...eventually by themselves.. It will amaze people to see your child doing it!!!!

Today my son, who is now almost 7 months, leaned forward in his high chair seat, picked up his doidy cup with both hands, accurately brought it up to his lips, tipped it up and gave himself a drink of water. It was fantastic to see him do this for himself. (He then gave us both a shower by enthusiastically banging the cup on his tray, but nevermind, it was nearly bathtime anyway!). Seriously, I believe these cups are recommended as they encourage the development of facial muscles - needed for a child's speech development. You have to expect a bit of wet mess (and I wholly recommend those bibs with a fleecy front panel which absorb the spilt liquid brilliantly).And yes it is a little less convenient when on-the-move than a sippy cup, but I still think that a child's development - through experimentation and practise using a doidy cup - is more important than our own convenience, most of the time anyway. A child is going to use a mug/adult cup eventually anyway, so why not give them something similar but a little more manageable to start with? Goes very much hand-in-hand with baby led weaning principles I think, if you are folowing this approach, but anyone can benefit from using them.I now want to add (Summer 2013)-four years later: I still have this exact same cup, and intend to use it for my third child in a few months time! It has stood the test of time. They are very sturdy. I would still very much recommend this product.

This cup is absolutely amazing!! I breast feed my son, but also tried to give him expressed milk out of a bottle once a day to get him used to it for times that I need to leave him. He was very reluctant to drink from a bottle and at 6 weeks old he totally rejected it - he would scream the house down if a bottle teat went anywhere near his mouth!! At 7 weeks old I tried him out on the doidy cup and by my third attempt to feed him with the doidy cup (at 8 weeks old) he had learnt to sip from the cup. He's been drinking from the cup once a day since then and on a few occasions I've left him for about 6 hours at a time alone with his dad and they've got on well with the doidy cup.He's now 4 months old and holds the cup himself. His co-ordination is not great so he still needs a bit of guidance to get the cup to his mouth, but it's great that he can control the pace of drinking himself now. It is quite messy using the doidy cup though, especially now that my son wants to hold the cup himself. He usually needs a change of top after each feed no matter how many and what type of bib I use. I think it's worth it though, as with a doidy cup you can skip out bottles and beakers with spouts altogether. I'd definitely recommend it, especially for breast feeding mums who may occasionally need to leave their baby with someone else.

We’ve had this cup since my baby was six months old. She was breastfed prior to weaning but occasionally had expressed milk from a bottle.For the first month or so very little water got consumed. I would tip it for her and she would poke her tongue inside and lap at the water like a kitten. Just when I was about to give up something clicked for her. She now gulps water quite successfully with every meal.At nine months, I still hold the cup for her and tilt it. Some days she likes to wash her hands in the cup (fine by me, there’s less scrubbing to be done in between her fingers) and some days she still misjudges things and ends up coding and spluttering. She likes playing with the cup when it’s empty too.She’s successfully drunk from it totally independently on a couple of occasions, but I think if I was a bit more relaxed about water ending up all over the floor she might be able to do it a bit more consistently by now.I’ve only used the cup at home so far, because of the mess. I haven’t bought a sippy cup to use out and about because I don’t want to confuse her, she just breast feeds on the go. I think this cup is great and with patience and perseverance she’s getting there.I’m not sure who these child geniuses are who can use the cup from twelve weeks. Don’t expect those kind of results for every baby!

My mother bought one of these for me in 1949 not sure if it was ceramic or not.Due to housing shortage I lived with my parents and my mother's parents. This meant I had four adults to converse with. Then my grandfather retired and I had two full time carers.My grandmother would quite seriously pour out three cups of tea and empty one into my doidy cup and I would sit and have tea and biscuits with my grandparents.My brother born in 1951 would not entertain the doidy cup at all.I bought one for my daughter who enjoyed drinking small amounts of juice out of it, I am sure this was better for her than sucking juice on to her teeth. I passed that doidy onto a child who had a harelip,he found it difficult sucking on a feeder cup. I seem to remember it only had one handle.This time I bought a red one for my grandson who at 5 months old is watching the rest of the family drinking out of cups and beakers. At the moment he is just playing with it but we are waiting to see if he will raise it to his lips.I also remember the bickiepeg hard biscuits with a hole in them that your mother tied to the pram or rails of the cot with ribbon. How did we all survive without health and safety.

I have tried a number of different beakers and cups for my (now 9 months old) baby girl and she took to the doidy cup almost immediately while never quite getting to understand any of the other beakers. The great thing is, she can see the water, she squeals with delight when she hears me say "water" and when she sees the cup, she holds out both her hands and can't wait to hold it and won't let go even when she's finished. This is one of the best tableware I have bought for her and she's got to the point where she doesn't like being given a bottle during the day - she wants her cup for water and for milk! I would definitely recommend this from about 5 months onwards or whenever you start to wean - it took my daughter about 2 goes before she understood it - and of course,in the first few attempts she did spill things and want to play with it but it's a way for her to learn and so far, she's not spilling any more. Well, not much! I think it makes her feel grown-up and independent and she doesn't like it when I hold it at the same time...

I first used this when my little boy was about 10 months, I have struggled with all sorts of sippy cups, he won't use anything with a valve in, I did some research on the internet, and people seemed to recommend this, so I tried it. First day, my little boy drank out of it fine. I had to hold it it and tip it at first, then he would hold it with one hand, and now he picks it up and drinks from it himself (he is 13 months now). I won't say we haven't had the odd accident, when he has picked it up, missed his mouth and just thrown orange all over himself (try to have the video camera at the ready for that one, it's hilarious - nasty mummy!!).We also went through a stage where he put his food into his cup rather than his mouth and he has also used it as a finger bowl, but on the whole, this is a definite success. However I will say that I only use this at mealtimes in his highchair, as I found that if I tried to use it if my son was thirsty while playing, he didn't give drinking his full attention, which usually resulted in spillage!

I found this product before my first born was even born and bookmarked it on amazon in my wish list. Recently I remembered about it and bought it for my now 20 month old. I was dubious about giving it to him at first but we tested it out with a little bit of water in the bottom and he cracked it straight away.Its a fantastic first open top cup for any child and the design is brilliant.I would recommend if you give this to your child only put a small amount in and slowly build up on it but really, the cup does exactly what it is meant to. Because your child can see over the top they are less tempted to pour the whole contents over themselves.My mum did have a go at me and ask why my son couldn't just learn like all other children and have a 'normal'cup but I'm sure all you mums out there are like me and dont have all day to keep changing t-shirts and doing endless washing! We have enough of that going on already and this cup isn't just another gimic to make us spend money, its an actual good helping hand. :)

I love the Doidy cup! I used this cup with my first exclusively breastfed baby when he started solids around 7 months and I'm using it again with my second exclusively breastfed baby now that she is starting solids around the same age.The handles on this cup make it easy for little hands to grasp and the angled design means that babies can see what is inside as they sip from it. Neither of my babies would take a bottle, but they happily drink from a Doidy cup. There will be quite a few spills in the beginning since there is no lid on the cup, but with a little practice baby can quickly learn to place the cup down so it doesn't spill.My first baby mastered drinking from this cup within a few months and soon moved onto using a normal cup - he never used a sippy cup thanks to the Doidy cup and I'm confident my second baby will be the same.I highly recommend the Doidy cup for any baby, but especially babies who are exclusively breastfed who won't take a bottle or those who need to be weaned from one.

I decided to give this little beaker a whirl when my daughter was ready to start taking a bit of water with her meals. I wasn't sure how she would get on with a more conventional cup, as opposed to a bottle, but as it was so cheap I figured I could just buy a bottle if all else failed. Well, she's really happy with the little cup. At 8 months, she hasn't yet grasped how to hold it herself, but she loves drinking from it. I'm sure she finds it fun as she's always eager to drink her water when I bring her the cup, and I've had no problem getting her to understand the concept of sipping from it, even if it can get a bit soggy! Don't worry about the dribbles and spills as it's the only way they'll learn.I'm giving it one point below excellent as the only problem with it is you can't transport it with water in it, so you have to take another container with you to hold the water when you're on the move. If it had a leak-proof lid for easy transportation it would be perfect.

I was really worried as returning to work full time following exclusive breastfeeding. My little one had made it clear she wasn't up for the bottle so was beginning to despair as obviously needed her to take in some fluids whilst I was away.The doidy cup is great - I think the bright colour really interests my daughter so she is willing to give it a go. Also, the shape of it means you can really see how far to tip it without a soaking. She went for it from the very first attempt and hasn't looked back.The only downside I will say for it, due to the age of my daughter (7 months), she really can't be left with it as she batters it and water goes EVERYWHERE!She also can't get it to her mouth by herself (which she can do with those cups with the spout). However, these are minor quibbles and it really had put my mind at rest that she is getting the fluid she needs when I am not with her.Just wish Amazon offered more than the red ones!!

we love this little cup. Never needed to use it for cup feeding, and I am not sure why anyone would need to (not judgemental, just feel there are other ways for babies who are unfortunately unable to feed from a regular feeding bottle).This worked great for us from the start of my son sitting down to meals with us at 6 months, we had tried a two handled Tommee Tipped cup but he just couldn't't figure it out. It took him about a week to work out that he didn't need to try and latch onto the Doidy cup and with a little assistance at first he was able to hold and drink from it himself. He was about 9months old when he was able to confidently lift and drink from it himself independently and without spillage.He used it daily u til he was about 2.5years later we still have it and will definitely be using it again! Buy it, regardless of all the 'best for teeth' business it's still a little bargain.

I have used these cups for two of my children, and I think they are fantastic. They take a little while for the children to get used to, and expect some mess as they try to pour the entire contents into their mouths all at once, but isn't this the case with all cups? Once they get used to how the cup works, it is excellent and I find in general much more convenient than the cups with lids and spouts(once your child is used to drinking out of a cup, they can drink almost anywhere without a special cup)and way easier to keep hygienically clean. Harder to knock over than a usual cup and easy for the children to hold onto (I noticed in other reviews that there was concern about the handles,but I must say this didn't seem a problem for either of my children). Not only do I love these cups for my kids, but I buy them for friends' children as well.

I purchased a Bickiepegs Doidy cup after getting frustrated buying ordinary starter cups,which my six month old baby would bite the spout to death,creating a hole and making leakproof cups leak.I started my baby on the bickiepeg doidy cupat six months and at first I had to hold the base for him and slowly tilt the rim,which is nicely shaped and the cup is just the right size for little hands.Now at nearly eight months old,my baby can hold,drink and judge how much liquid he wants to put in his month.I think only small amounts of liquid,no more then a baby sized mouthful should be put in the cup at any one time,as they have such fun throwing their water over themselves.The cup can be put in thesteriliser or dishwasher and my baby and I are very pleased with our Bickiepegs doidy cup and would reccommend anyone to give it a try.

Bought this for my 8 month old little man - admittedly, a tad early!! Didn't give it to him until he was 14 months and within a couple of days, he was drinking from the cup correctly and more importantly, confidently. From about 15 months, he's been drinking out of 'normal' cups.Be warned that if your little one has already tried drinking from a 'normal' cup, the first few attempts might be a little (nah! I mean a LOT) messy but it's definately helped him along.The cup looks a little odd, like it's always going to fall over, but is just as sturdy as a 'normal' one. It works because the kiddie can see the level of the drink properly right up until it hits their lips!All I've got to do now is figure out a way to stop him 'investigating'the.....how should I put it..... PRO's and CON's of not having a lid on your cup!!
