Avent Magic Cup

Determined to avoid any bottle attachment issues with my children I decided to train them onto older cups at quite an early age, by 6 months they were using training bottles that had larger teats and by 9 months they'd worked their way up to sippy cups. I had been looking for a cup that would start off with a soft spout making it easier for them to adjust to and that's when I discovered the Avent Magicup range. Now I've read a lot of negative reviews about the Magicups but have always had a lot of success with them and so am going to give my more positive spin on the cups. Avent Magicup- The regular (non sportser) cups come in 2 age groups ...  Read the complete review

Having been told by my health visitor that my boys needed to be slowly weaned onto cups I decided to shop around in Boots, one of my favourite stores. I browsed through all the different colours, brands and styles of beakers. They had used a beaker before meant for babies aged 6months plus, but they just tipped them upside down and their drink spilt everywhere. So I was trying to find one which was supposedly a non-spill beaker. I came across a pack of two Avent non-spill magic cups. They caught my eye really as I noticed my friends son was drinking from one days before and they were in a pack of two, so perfect for me as I had two babies. It was ...  Read the complete review

I have to say Im a big fan of these cups, although not many other people I know get on with them. With my first we tried to get him on a beaker from 6mths as recommended, but wasnt interested, we tried loads of different beakers and in the end a couple of months later he finally took to this one and never looked back. At first we did have to hold it, as they can be quite heavy when filled and the handles are quite thick, but he was soon off and drinking on his own. They come in a variety of colours and 2 different sizes. The smallers ones have a soft spout to introduce them to beakers the biggers have a harder spout for older babies. They come in a ...  Read the complete review

Since i found out i was pregnant and since ive had my daughter i have been one of those people that has only bought avent feeding equiptment. As they are a well known brand & highly recomended by several magazines etc. I started weaning my daughter when she was 4 1/2 mnths old. And since i had started weaning her i had tried to give her water & juice from a bottle but i was never successful! So when she was 6mnths old i decided to get her a cup to see if she would drink out of that. I was having a look at all the cups available at my local supermarket and i came across the avent magic cup 6mnths+ with handles. On the packaging it said that ...  Read the complete review

When I bought bottles I got the Boots ones with teat, soft spout and lid with straw hole. I also bought an Advent cup with a soft spout as it was smaller and fit in our changing bag. Although the bottles are useful at different stages ( by the way we skipped teats, you'll have to ask James about that when he can speak for himself), when baby wants to feed himself but is no where near the right age for a straw, soft spouts are very messy. A dink was fast becoming a shower. However I read on a babysite that Advent Magic Cup Spouts were sold seperately and fit Boots bottles. Magic spouts are the magic parts in Magic Cups. When I got them home I thought they ...  Read the complete review
