We love this cup to help teach independent drinking. It's made from 100% silicone, so it's non-slip for little hands and gentle on teeth and gums. There's a weighted base to keep it from tipping over. Once your child has mastered sipping, remove the straw and lid to work on drinking from an open cup. The cup is translucent, so you and your child can see how much liquid is left. And there are measurement indicators along the outside, in both ounces and millileters. Monitor your child's liquid intake, use it as a measuring cup, and teach older kids about measurement units. Comes in mint and coral.
Available at olababy.us, $17.95.
