Straw sippy?

Anyone rec their straw sippy? DS does well with the regular sippy we have but I had heard the straw was better developmentally. I'm guessing the straw is a PITA to clean no matter what, just didn't know if there was any that were easier to clean or less likely to leak.

We have this one. The straw really isn't bad to clean. It's a soft silicone so it bends easily but you can run really hot water through it without it getting soft or weird.

I like sippies with fewer pieces and easy to put together. So far my favorite straw sippies are Playtex, Munchkin Click Lock Straw Cup at Walmart and Nuby Super Straw Easy Grip Cup at Target. My kiddos prefer the munchkin and nuby cups, I think because of the bigger sized straw. I haven't found any straw cups that are as leakproof as regular spout sippies.

I like the Nuby with the silicone straw. It doesn't leak and my son loves it. I will say buy a straw cleaner. If you don't the straws will be nasty inside.

Playtex Little Grippers Straw Cup.  Easy to use, easy to clean, doesn't leak any more than any other cup I've tried.  And you can squeeze the bottom to move liquid up the straw until LO gets the hang of it.

Question for those of you with LOs using the straw sippy - how old was your LO when you first introduced it and how long did it take him/her to "get" how it works and actually drink from it?

We gave DS a straw sippy starting around 6.5 mos and we're at 8 months and he still isn't really drinking from it - but we keep practicing everyday! :-)

The Playtex little grippy trainer cups are perfect to start with. If you squeeze the cup, liquid comes up the straw. Took my daughter all of 5 minutes to figure it out at 7 months!

(though i think they cost half of that at target!)

this. and she was around 6 months when we gave it to her the first time, and she got it right away after the first squeeze.

Awesome! Thanks for the suggestion.  We've been using something that looks like this but it is not squeezable.  I'm definitely going to try one of these!
