Bickiepegs Doidy Cup (Red)

I ordered a red cup and they sent me purple.I was a little annoyed by that slip up.But, this doidy cup is amazing. We own 3 now. My son wouldn’t take a sippy cup or any other kind of toddler cup around 9 months old so a friend referred me to this. My son picked it up immediately and we’ve been using it ever since. He’s 14 months now and he’ll never bother with a sippy cup. My only regret is not starting him out sooner. Package says 3+ months. Next time I’d try offering pumped milk in the cup starting at 3 months. He was never bottle fed either so the cup would’ve been a great transition.

This cup is very useful for teaching your child how to drink from a cup. Because one side of the cup is longer (the side where your child would drink from), he/she can see the oncoming liquid easier and be prepared for it better. And because it is made of plastic, there is little chance of breakage. There will still be lots of spills though, but that goes with the territory. My daughter took a while to figure out that she needs to hold the cup with both hands (or she is not good enough yet to manage it with just one hand). She also tips the cup over deliberately just to see what would happen... so be prepared. But much better this than my glasses or the ordinary plastic cups. Incidentally, in case you are (like me) trying to avoid china made items, this cup is made in the United Kingdom. As far as I can tell, it is BPA free. I recommend this highly.

I saw this cup recommended on a mommy website and bought it on a whim. It looks cool, but I'm not sure the tilted cup really adds anything to learning to drink-- I let my daughter learn to sip both with this cup and regular cups and this didn't seem any easier. Plus, those skinny handles placed close to the cup don't really seem comfortable for chubby toddler hands to curl around-- the nice thick handles found on common sippy cups seem easier to grab and hold.

My child drinks from the cup and loves it even more after 2 months of daily use. I wish the cup was made of an opaque plastic so I could see how far to tilt the contents. Cerise doesn't mean "cherry" for a doidy cup. I means PINK.
