Rating: 9.0/10

Transitioning your little one from bottle to cup is a big step, and Dr. Brown’s Milestones Baby’s First Straw Cup makes it a breeze. This training cup is designed to help babies learn new drinking skills with a weighted straw that moves with the liquid, allowing them to sip from any angle. Its easy-to-grip handles and contoured design are perfect for small hands, and the cup grows with your child as their cup-holding abilities improve.

What We Like:

• The weighted straw is a game-changer. It really lets babies drink from any position, which is super helpful when they’re just learning.
• The handles are easy for tiny hands to grip. They’re also removable, so the cup can adapt as your baby gets older.
• It’s spill-proof! The sliding lid keeps the straw clean and prevents messes when you’re out and about.
• This cup is tough. It can handle being dropped and thrown, which is a must for baby gear.
• Clear measuring marks make it easy to see how much your baby is drinking.
• Cleaning is simple. All the parts come apart and are dishwasher safe.

What Could Be Improved:

• While durable, the weighted straw can sometimes be a little tricky to clean thoroughly without the included brush.
• The sliding lid, while great for travel, can sometimes be a bit stiff for very young babies to open on their own.

This Dr. Brown’s straw cup is a fantastic tool for teaching your baby independent drinking. It’s well-designed and makes a potentially messy milestone much smoother.
