Advantages: none so far

Disadvantages: doesnt work

My baby daughter would jusy not accept a teat from a bottle to feed. She just wanted me to feed her. This I did not mind but wondered how it would be to just get a break now and then and let Dad take over. She was three months old when the health visitor reccomended the amazing DOIDY cup.........

I immediatly went online when I got home to buy one.

When it came I was bemused at its shape etc. I bought a pretty sparkly pink one cos Im pink daft for some reason! Never was before the baby came!

Anyhoo, I expressed some milk and tried to give it to her....poor little mite! She was soaked and most aggreived at the process of trying to get her to "lap it up" from the cup. It wasnt that Daddy was kak handed and not doing it right...she just wasn't ready at all and in my opinion its a waste of time and money.

A little later on the Health Visitor gave me a free Tommee Tippee cup (classic sipper cup) in a freebie pack. I tried her with that with GREATER SUCCESS! She will take some milk from that one easy peasy. The Doidy was a gimmick as far as I am concerned....all this nonsense about its desgin is just to impress new mums.

The Doidy is sitting in the back of the cupboard and maybe it will be of use transferring from a sipper to an ordinary cup. Who knows?

I got by without a Doidy with my older two kids (they are11 and 9 now) So I dont see how a Doidy is useful to me really. I guess I got bitten by the new fad of the Doidy cup.

Summary: pointless plastic - stick to classic sipper cups for babe
