The First Years Squeeze & Sip Toddler Straw Cups - Squeezable Transition Sippy Cup with Silicone Straw - Toddler Feeding Supplies - 7 Oz - 3 Count - Ages 6 Months and Up

This cup is amazing. Every detail is thoughtfully designed. My daughter literally got the hang of it within the first 30 seconds. We’ve had them for a week and she’s drinking water with every meal. It’s 90% leak free, she drops it or shakes it upside down a few droplets come out, but considering it’s water I couldn’t care less. It’s the perfect size for her little 1 year old hands. Has enough give for an adult to squeeze, but it’s perfectly sturdy when she’s holding it. There are small grippy bumps, which are great when it’s covered in food. The straw comes out and cleans easy. I really can’t say enough good things about the cups.

Great item, helps toddler learn to drink from a straw. My 15m finally can finally drink from straw, it did take a week for him to get the hang of it. Holds well in dishwasher, did not like having to disassemble it, but that's all straw cups. We only use it at home as it doesn't have a cap. It will splash a little when it is thrown to the ground. Perfect size for those lil hands.

As a parent navigating the transition from bottle to straw drinking, I found The First Years Straw Cups to be an outstanding training tool that made the learning process surprisingly smooth. What Makes These Cups Effective: Innovative Squeeze Feature: The genius of this cup is the ability to gently squeeze it to push liquid up through the straw, teaching your baby the mechanics of straw drinking. Within days of consistent use, my child understood the concept and began drinking independently without any prompting. This hands-on teaching method is far more effective than just hoping they figure it out. Safety-Conscious Design: The soft, flexible straw tip is gentle on tender gums and emerging teeth. I appreciate that there’s no hard plastic poking around in my baby’s mouth during this oral development stage. Easy Maintenance: Dishwasher safe components make cleanup effortless—a must-have feature for busy parents dealing with multiple cups throughout the day. Value: At this price point, you’re getting excellent quality without the premium cost of some competitor brands. I felt comfortable buying multiple cups to keep in different locations. One Design Consideration: Due to the straw configuration, liquid remains in the upper portion of the straw after drinking rather than draining back down. This means minor spills can occur when the cup is tipped or opened, especially in diaper bags. However, this is a small trade-off for the effective learning mechanism. I simply ensure the cup is upright when transporting or keep it in a sealed pocket. Bottom Line: These cups successfully bridged the gap between bottle and independent straw drinking for my child. The squeeze-to-teach feature is invaluable, and the minor spill issue is manageable with basic precautions. Highly recommend for the 6-12 month transition period.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Honestly the best straw cup we have tried. Easy to clean. Easy to hold for the baby. We only had to squeeze it a couple of times to teach our baby but after that she learned how to use it very quickly.

This cup is great! I got it for my son when he was just learning to use a straw, and it only took a day or two for him to figure it out. It's lightweight but durable, so he can easily carry it around on his own. It's spill proof, but once your baby learns to squeeze it some water can come out. The cup is easy to clean, but the straw takes a little extra time. Overall, I recommend it!

So far I really like this straw cup. The straw itself is not leak proof, which is exactly what I wanted. The straws that block water are really hard for babies to learn with. These are easy to drink from, but don't spill a lot because they are leak proof around the opening where the straw goes in (so the water that's in the straw does leak, but water in the cup doesn't). They can also be squeezed to help baby get water, and they are way more sturdy than the honey bear type cups. Easy to wash. Pretty colors. Since they don't really leak it was easy to bring with us!

These aren’t leak proof but a great training cup! My son loves these cups for meal time. The ability to squeeze the cup taught him how to drink from a straw. Also the fact there is three of them is amazing too!

Overall i like these cups for toddler and are easy to use. Easy to clean. Does not leak when screwed on. Make sure to not overfill, otherwise if toddler squeezes the cup too hard it will squirt out the straw. I learned to clean them after the end of the day bc if you leave them with juice in it for 2-3 days they start to mold. I have ordered 2 times already these cups since my toddler keeps loosing them. Would definitely order again soon

Please get this if your baby is struggling to drink a straw. My baby became a pro straw drinker in less than 2 weeks lol.
