Nûby Grip'n'Sip cup review

Jack was sent another cup from Nûby to review. This one is called Grip'n'Sip. It holds 10 oz or 300 ml. It's suitable to use from 6 months. Jack is nearly 2 and loves drinking from this cup. The handles allow him to hold onto the cup easily and the soft silicone spout allows him to drink easily. It is a very light weight cup even with 10 oz of liquid in.


The teat is Vari-Flo which means it allows the child to control the flow of their fluid by using their own sucking strength. So, the stronger the childs sucking action the wider the teat opens. The teat is removable and can be replaced if it becomes danmaged. You can buy the replacement teats from their website for only £1.99.

I put the cup through a tough test! I hung it upside down for about 5 minutes to see if it was really spill proof. For the first few seconds a little fluid did come out of the air valve hole, but soon stopped. There was no major spills or leaks while it was hung! Overall I think this is another fantastic cup from Nûby.

I have three of these cups to give away (two pink and one green). To enter all you need to do is comment on this post and I will use random.org to select three winners. This give away will end on 30th November at 10am.

Nûby No-Spill Convert-a-cup Review

The lovely people at Nûby kindly sent me a Convert-a-cup for Jack to review. It claims to be spill proof; this was something I was eager to test! The video below shows just how easy it is to assemble the cup into the beaker with handles; there are also pictures showing each stage the cup converts too.

I am amazed that a single cup can convert into four different cups which cover each stage of  a child's transition from a bottle to a open top cup. Which means you only ever need to buy one cup! Each stage a different piece is removed or attached. It can convert from a beaker with handles to a beaker without handles; a cup with handles to a cup. The cup itself is BPA free and is very light weight even with liquid in. It can hold 240ml. The handles allow smaller hands to grip it easily and should only be used with children over 6 months.

The cup encourages natural drinking action and oral development. The teat has Touch Flo technology which means as soon as your child puts the spout into their mouths and starts drinking; only then is the liquid released. The teat and top of the cup are all one piece and made out of silicone. A fully flexible lid is something I have not seen before and was quite surprised by it!

Convert-a-cup teat and lid

I was a little worried the lid may fall off or even leak as it doesn't screw into place; but the lid just snaps over the cup and forms a tight vacuum seal around the top of the cup. There was no liquid coming out of the teat or the edges when I shook it!

I even shook the cup and still no drips!

Jack loved drinking from this cup and even shared it with Iggle Piggle! This Nûby cup will help Jack to learn how to drink sensibly from an open top cup. There is no need for me to worry about him dropping a glass onto the floor! A perfect cup and I would definitely recommend this to anyone parent trying to encourage their toddler to drink from a "big boys cup"!

Dr Brown's Training Cup Review

Jack was sent some lovely Dr Brown Training cups to test out. I didn't even know Dr Brown's did training cups as I had only heard of their bottle range (which is fantastic if you have a baby who suffers from colic). We have had many cups in the past and Jack hasn't taken to them; weather they are just to heavy or the teat or spout isn't right for him; I don't know!

Dr Brown's Hard-Spout Cup

Jack had his milk in the 270ml Hard Spout cup this morning and seemed comfortable and happy with it. I have never given him milk in a cup as they always leak and you don't want milk leaking everywhere! This one didn't; it has a sip-activated valve which means liquid will only come out when Jack's mouth activates it. I was shocked that a cup which said it was spill-proof actually was! Many cups still drip when they are not in use; but I can honestly say this one doesn't. Even when it's upside down no liquid comes out; not even a trickle! The cup is suitable for the dishwasher (on the top shelf) and is ideal for a teething baby. (9+ months) The cup is BPA Free too. This cup comes in seven different colour combinations! 

The cup will grow with Jack; when he is ready I can remove the handles to make it a little more grown up. It comes with a protective lid which keeps the spout clean when not is use. I recommend this cup over all the others on the market if your looking for a non-spill cup that doesn't leak!

Enjoying milk from his new Dr Brown's cup!

Dr Brown's Soft-Spout Cup
This cup is a perfect if your thinking of introducing a cup to your child or moving your baby from a bottle to a cup. The spout feels just like a teat and is flexible. The Soft Spout Cup has all the same features as the Hard-Spout version but is suitable from 6+ months (due to the soft spout). This cup holds 170ml (6oz) and isn't to heavy for little arms and hands to hold. The handles allow enough room for you child to have their hands in a comfortable position and they are also removable allowing this cup to grow with your baby. Another super cup which doesn't leak!
