Carina's new big kid cup - Philips AVENT Natural Drinking Cup Review & Giveaway! CLOSED

We just hit 500,000 lifetime pageviews on the blog! Thank you so much for reading, everyone! To celebrate, I'm kicking off a week of giveaways :)

With all of Carina's feeding and weight gain issues, we have really been struggling to find a way to get her to drink more cow's milk. She does okay with traditional sippy and straw cups, but to our frustration she just never drinks enough. When Philips AVENT told me about their new Natural Drinking Cup for toddlers 12 months and up, I knew we needed to give it a try!

The BPA free Natural Drinking Cup is truly unique; it is a spoutless and strawless transition cup for growing toddlers. The cup helps your little one easily move from sippy cups to grown up drinking, without the mess. The unique spill proof valve is activated once it touches your toddler's lips, and allows effortless drinking from all around the rim - just like an adult cup. There is no need to suck! (lol?) It holds 260 mL of liquid, or almost 9 ounces.

Verdict? Carina LOVES this cup. She clamors for it and tosses her sippy aside in favor of it if we happen to have both within her reach. She really seems to enjoy drinking from it. When she brings it down from her mouth she is always smiling; it's the cutest thing. We have found the cup itself to be quite spill proof, but unfortunately she has figured out how to activate the valve with her finger, and enjoys pushing it to release some of the milk. Silly girl.

So while it does make a little bit of a mess every now and then, both Mike and I think it is well worth it because it gets her to drink so much more milk than a standard straw or sippy cup, and she has a lot of fun drinking out of it! If we even try to take it away and give her another cup? The little miss gets rather upset.

The Natural Drinking Cup is dishwasher safe and comes with a hygienic snap-on lid, so there is no need to worry about spills while on the go. And it retails for just $6.99 - you can't beat that.
