Nuby Sippy Cup

by deborah

I thought Lena would never drink from a sippy cup, until we tried the Nuby No-Spill cup with Super Spout. Seriously, we were ready to throw in the towel, and succumb to three or four soaked clothing changes per day, water all over the floors, and a crabby thirsty one year old. But the Nuby has changed all that, and I'm pretty ecstatic to have found a sippy cup Lena will actually drink water from, instead of just chew and/or throw to the ground.

Our discovery of this sippy was just a coincidence, as Lena "shared" a sip of water from one of her mates sippies. And then two minutes later, she was still drinking, and after that I decided I had to go buy one immediately. And I did. I added the Nuby to our collection of sippies, including the Munchkin and the Playtex (neither of which Lena has liked). My husband thought I was crazy, collecting sippies. We now had 10. But as Lena sipped on the Nuby that night after dinner, and successfully drank her very first entire cup of water, he realized I'd been right. 

The Nuby features a soft silicone spout that is easy to use and easy to clean. According to the manufacturer, the the newly designed spout valve opens with minimum pressure and doesn't require constant sucking that can damage new teeth and soft palates, promoting natural drinking action and healthy oral development. Lena has definitely taken much better to the design of this spout than all of the others we have tried. I'm very pleased with this sippy cup and happy that I have finally found a way to hydrate my baby with water.
