Manufacturer's Description

The Doidy Cup from Bickiepegs is designed to teach your child to drink from the rim of a cup rather than a spout or teated bottle. The special slanted design makes it easy for little ones to sip rather than pour, as they can see what they're drinking without tilting their head too much. This encourages a natural drinking action as well as helping them to learn to put down the cup properly. The Doidy cup is an ideal aid to weaning as the natural mouth action used is the same as in breast feeding. In addition, dental professionals suggest that training children to drink from a cup as soon as possible can cut down on the long-term dental problems associated with prolonged use of bottles.

Babies as young as 6 months will find the two-handled Doidy cup easy to hold and use, but with Mum's help the cup can be used from birth. Dishwasher (top shelf) and microwave safe (although microwaving liquids can result in 'hot spots' and microwaving is therefore not advised for children's drinks).

Doidy joy
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!!!!

excellent
I would definatly recommend these if you are having difficulties with a traditional beaker. When i tried to introduce a beaker my son did not drink from it - i tried several types, but he would often reach to drink from a glass someone was holding and would 'drink' if someone held it for him. we've had one for about 6 weeks now and i'm now ordering some more of these for grandmas- as he drink loads from it (although some always ends up down his front)and it'll save getting having to teach him to drink from a cup in the future!

Doidy cup has solved our problems
When I was returning to work I needed a way my baby would drink my milk in my absence. After spending a huge amount on bottles (she would not take them) this cup was recommended. We brought two and my baby gets on really well with them, I would highly recommend this cup to anyone else in the same situation.
