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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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. ...  Read the complete review

After reading an opinion here by Jenny about this cup I thought I would get one and give it a go. Jack is quite happily drinking from anything but I wanted something that looked a bit more grown up, rather than a bottle with a training spout. It took a few sips to get used to but after that it was brilliant. The spout is made with soft rubber so its kinder to new teeth and gums. (I suspect its quite easy to bite into though) and the handles are situated in such a way that it looks comfortable for them to hold, these are also non slip, it comes with a lid, to stop leaks, and when they have progressed from the spout there is a sipper lid also, this is so they ...  Read the complete review

After trying my baby on various cups,bottles with training spouts, I have finally come up with the answer. Heinz baby beaker. This is fantastic as the spout and handles are made from a rubbery material so are easy on lttle hands and gentle on gums. The flow in the teat is great as they don't have to suck to death or choke either,it's designed with babies in mind and not just a quick money spinner for the manufacturers. Okay so admittaly some ended up on the floor on the first attempt but babies aren't the cleanest of creatures ( as if we'd expect it any other way!) But there is a handy cover for it so it's leak-proof in the bag. ...  Read the complete review
