Heinz Baby Basics Training Beaker

This four part beaker consists of a cup with super soft handles, with grips for tiny fingers, a top with a medium flow soft spout, a clear lid supposedly for preventing spills when transporting, and a clear plastic top with for teaching drinking from an adult cup. First Step - Cup with lid When baby is first learning to drink from a cup you use the lid, which is just like those on most beakers, except that the spout is made from a softer material. This is very kind on babies teeth and gums and a good transition from bottles, as almost as soft as the teat on a bottle. The flow is also quite slow, so although baby doesn't have to suck too hard to get it ...

I have a cupboard full of beaker's. Big one's, small one's, flip up lid's, bottle style you name it I tried it!!! I was begining to think that I would never get my son to drink his juice from a beaker!! Then I tried the Heinz trainer and wow I wish I had tried this first!! I was initially put off by the price, as at five pound's a go (wince) it is expensive, especially if it was going to end up in my cupbard of 'no good's'!! In desperation I purchased one and bingo!! This beaker is suitable from seven month's and the soft spout is designed to be gentle on babies delicate gum's, this is what I think make's it work ...

This cup has a really nice soft spout and they don't need to suck very hard to get a drink. It has two handles which are also nice and soft anf a clip on lid to prevent spills, although don't trust the lid too much as I ended up with one very wet handbag when I did! It also comes with another slot in lid that is a trainer for using a proper cup. I haven't tried that one yet but seems like a good idea. I think this beaker is a very good first cup and I have been using it for my daughter since she was 4 months old and she has managed it very well. ...
