Does the child have to suck really hard to get water or milk out when using the sippy caps?

My daughter couldn't even suck any milk out, I had to skrew the lid lose, then she would get milk.

With the silicone piece on the inside, he has a really hard time getting anything out. With it out, he was able to drink, but it also spills little bits at a time very easily

My son has not used the sippy cup tops yet, we're still pretty much breastfed only. Sorry of little help.

My son hasnt used it yet...I didn't think it would be difficult for him but since he's exclusively breast fed he's doesn't care for it. Sorry can't be more helpful

Yup - but my kiddo loves it since she used it as a bottle and now uses it as her zippy cup.

They come with a piece that if put on the inside of the cup, your child will need to suck on the spout for the liquid to come out - very handy when in the car or when they are in the drops everything phase. However, you can leave that piece out and the liquid will come out on its own.

Not at all! We had had for 6 to 7 months and not 1 problem at all. Our son did bite through 1 nipple because we didn't pay attention that he was teething, but that is what can happen with any bottle!I give it a 9.7 out of 10 because I wish they had more schemes other then the two we have found available. It would be nice to have different patter or colors to tell if one is a juice cup and one is a milk etc.I say buy it, you will love them!

Yes- but they are a bit tricky to use. My daughter had a hard time with the silicone piece that goes in the cap, she could never get any water out. I just took it out. It flows fast so if the bottle tips over the fluid will leak out. I don't have any problems with it leaking out from other parts of the cap though.

If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top. Cutting out the two pieces that are about 1/2" from the top would remove the restriction from inside. As you wash these bottles though, the rubber becomes softer and you'll get more flow anyway. However, if your kiddo is at the point where he's needing more volume out of the straw, you may want to look for a bottle that has a hard straw. Now that mine is a little older, we use cups with lids and a hard straw that has a rubber ring around it to keep it sealed. Nuby soft tops aren't known to be long lasting bottles after all. Good luck!

Spout is big but it collapses as it doesn't vent quick enough. If he lets go to let spout reexpand then it's fine. Mine wouldn't , she would quit when milk doesn't flow quick enough

A little will dribble out after she drinks and sits on the potty, but essentially she has to be upright while you squeeze her and then she will pee. The way she works is there is just a tube from her mouth to her bottom. So, gravity and pressure will make the water come out.

Yes, it has a hard plastic straw that is suspended straight down into the cup, and then that straw fits into a rubber disk and straw piece that sticks through a hole in the lid. When the top of the lid is closed, the upper rubber straw tip is pinched closed so that the straw does not leak. It does not have a traditional sippy-cup valve, so the child must sip through the straw just as they would with a normal straw. I hope that helps!

The baby has to suck on it however it the baby smacks the bottle or throws the bottle ect it will leak

yes! this bottle has a VERY slow nipple- the slowest i found- and the baby has to work to get milk out like a breast fed baby does.

Did you try squeezing the water out. If it still doesn't maybe baby will be able to suck the water out which is what we did. Provided the water is fit for drinking

It depends....my pediatrician recommended starting my son on sippy cups by his 1st birthday. I started with the sippy part and after 3 days he got it so I moved to the straw and thst only took him one day. However, this cup is horrible for the straw...yes it taught my son howto use it but the pressure bbuild-up made the milk always come up the straw and pour out all over the place. I recommend Munchkin click and lock cups, theyv have a straw cup to and no matter how many times it gets dropped it never leaks! Hope this helps.

i take the straw out. you really have to pull hard, not so easy the first few times. and then i use a straw brush. i also use this for milk.

It's not so much that it will leak but it will be harder for her to get the formula/milk/juice if the hole isn't facing the top. The flat part if the nipple should face down. I'm going through the same thing with my boys. But hopefully they will learn.

You can just suck like normal straw. The spout has a soft rubber surround on it but I think it's just for comfort and ease of drinking.

I haven't had any issues except it took my daughter awhile to understand this sippy cup instead of a bottle but that's to be expectedm now its the only sippy she will use.

The hole is small and doesn't leak too much if you tip it upside down, but my daughter pushes the nipple on the floor (purposely) and it leaks all over. Problem is that she only will drink milk from those cups and those nipples!
