Wanting to move away from the sippy cup and use more of a drink bottle style.
What are some brands that don't leak? Ones the don't spill all down the front of bubs when drinking and that are spill proof?

Or what are some of the bigger sipper cups but not spout and handle types?
What do you use?

I just went to Kmart and got a little one with a pop lid like a sports bottle but all hard plastic. Only 5 bucks and works a treat!

I have a tommee tippee sippy bottle for my 9 mth old for when we're out and he handles it quite well - it has a silicone sippy spout on it. He just uses tupperware sippy cups or 'take n toss' sippy cups when we're at home. When we're out, my 4yo uses those water bottles that have the spout that you pull up to drink and then press down when not drinking or those drinking bottles that has the twisty top on them. I'll be moving my 9 mth old to those types of water bottles as soon as he can handle the flow. We have spent a small fortune on all the fang-dangled sippy cups and water bottles over time, and they're just not effective!!

Im not sure how old your child is, but we have been using the Nuby soft spout sippy cup for milk feeds since 6 months, then from 9 months we added a straw cup from Kmart for water.

DD got the hang of it straight away, and now (13 months old), she drinks lots of water.

DD still has a lot of milk (3 or 4 milk feeds a day), however, Im going to continue using sippy cup for just milk until she self weans off.

I have found that neither leak.
