Review on Special Supplies Juice Bear Bottle Drinking Cup Long Straws, 3 Pack, Squeezable Therapy and Special Needs Assistive Drink Containers, Spill-Proof and Leak-Resistant Lids by Susan Oliver

I have used 5 different leakproof cups (hard/soft spout, straw, regular cup) for 2 months. Finally, after three tries with this mug, my 9 month old son understood the concept. First I squeezed the bottle to get the milk into the straw. The first few times he bit into a straw, but then he suddenly started sucking. As the milk flowed out easily, it spilled, but that was normal because the key was learning how to use a straw. After using this mug for a week I switched it back to a 'regular' spill proof straw mug with handles which is more difficult to use but now it's done. It was a good "training" mug. The "normal" ones are better suited for kindergarten, as the straws are attached at the top and the straws therefore remain clean. Because they're also harder to vacuum up, they shed less than these. I recommend these bottles to all my friends who are struggling with the transition from bottle to cup.
