Hi my daughter Sidney is 8 months old, I gave her a cup with a flow restricted spout so she had to suck to get the water out, she hated it, couldn't get used to tipping it up to get anything out and so wasn't drinking enough water. My mother in law works in a pharmacy and I went in and got the pidgeon MagMag. It has three levels of use, a bottle teat, a spout and a straw. Sidney went straight to the straw. She doens't have to tip up the cup, just suck, she will drink about 200mls a day sometimes more. She loves her cup!! I highly recommend it. She can do it herself,I leave the cup with her and she just driks as she needs it. It's great.
