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.

My son has Down's Syndrome and attends a special creche for children with additional needs, where they use doidy cups. I decided to get one for him to use at home as well, and am stunned by how well he uses it. With all other sippy cups he seems to have no concept of the fact that tipped upside down they will spill, and yet with this cup he is careful to put it down on the table or give it to me when finished. Although the slanted design makes putting it down a bit disconcerting, it is brilliant in that he can see the drink as it comes towards him, rather than tipping his head forward to see and not getting any drink, or alternatively tipping it too far back and shocking himself. All in all a great product for teaching children to drink (and about gravity!).

This was the third doidy cup that we have bought and they are definitely a big help for little ones learning to use a cup. When my son started nursery at 17 months the staff were amazed that he was so competent using a cup and I put it down to using doidy cups from an early age.

Didnt suit our needs- unfortunately!
I read all the reviews/literature and loved the idea of this cup, however, as I was always out and about, this cup was not always practical as we often needed a cup with a lid. Read more

very easy for my little one to use
Very easy to use. My little one is getting the hang of holding the handles to drink.

Great invention
These cups are fab as they help a baby learn how to use a normal cup. Only allowing a baby to use a cup with a lid on does not allow them to learn what happens when you tip a cup... Read more

Highly recommend the Doidy cup
I am already using this cup with my six month old son and the clever design of it means that he doesn't need to tip it too much which reduces the spills and accidents. Read more
