BR: Non-leaking sippy cups?
For all you mamas or nannies out there -
We're slowly progressing Clark to the sippy cup, partially because he keeps trying to hold the bottle and has better success with the sippy cup, and partially because they say not to give them juice in a bottle because it makes them drink it too fast (don't worry, we're using the pre-diluted 100% juice for babies that's made for sitters and crawlers). The problem we're having is finding a sippy cup that doesn't leak out of either the top or the seal where you screw the two pieces together. Has anyone had any luck?
Re: BR: Non-leaking sippy cups?
My nephew really loves these: They're Munchkin Mighty Grips. The nipple is soft so it transitioned him well from a bottle. And it's smaller for his little hands to hold.

The boy I nanny didn't like those Munchkin ones. He just carried it around with his teeth and didn't actually drink anything. He likes these and they don't leak much. They're not 100% but they're not bad.
They're Gerber ones and you can get them just about anywhere I believe. He has to work to get the liquid out. It was hard for him to hold when he was little because his hand wasn't big enough but he made it work for him.
Neither liked the ones with handles. Matt (the one I nanny) would just dump it. I don't what it is about the handle but he just thought it was meant to hold it upside down. lol. Good Luck!

I second this one...the Nuby ones are great too, but one of the children at school has figured out how to squeeze the top and make it leak. Lol.

We have both of these. I LOVE the first one. I like the second one and it is fine as long as the rubber part is lined up perfect in the plastic ring.
