Nalgene Tritan Grip-n-Gulp Kid’s Sippy Cup

November 28, 2011March 18, 2021 Sarah1128 Views 2 Comments min read

Has your child outgrown baby bottles and little kid sippy cups? Are you looking for a water bottle that’s more grown up looking (to satisfy your kid) but that’s still leak-proof (to satisfy you)? Nalgene Grip-n-Gulp Kid Water Bottle We love our Nalgene Tritan Grip-n-Gulp kid’s suppy cup. It’s the perfect size, comes in fun colors, and WILL NOT LEAK, even if you shake it upside down. It comes with a flexible, removable, rubber valve inside the lid which keeps it leak- and spill-proof — you should take it out for cleaning, and you can take it out if you no longer want it to be spill-proof (not sure why you’d want to do that — maybe to teach your kid a lesson in physics?). P.S. You can get an almost-matching leak-proof Nalgene On the Fly water bottle for yourself — hey, even grownups spill sometimes!

Baby Cups I Want: Sip N’ Munch

January 11, 2011March 18, 2021 Sarah927 Views 0 Comments min read

Whenever I leave the house with Hila, before I check for diapers and wipes I make sure I have a snack and a drink (which is why I often forget diapers and wipes). I usually grab a Take and Toss sippy cup (does anyone ever actually toss these?) filled with water, milk, or juice, and a snack catcher filled with Cheerios. It’s not like grabbing one thing is so much easier than grabbing two, but the Mud Pie Sip N’ Munch is a convenient way to keep your food and drink together…plus it’s cute. The cup has a straw that slides open and shut, and then the base of the cup screws off and can be used as a snack cup. The girl cups have pink and green polka dots and the boy cups have blue and green stripes, and you can personalize your cup by choosing the cup with your kid’s initial on it.

Munchkin Big Kid Cupsicle: The Real Deal

September 30, 2010March 18, 2021 Sarah833 Views 1 Comment min read

I had a very hard time finding a picture of the Munchkin Big Kid Cupsicle that really showed off what I like about it (and that didn’t have Sponge Bob or Dora on it). Basically, the rim of the cup goes up on one side and then the kid (the BIG kid) drinks from that raised lip/spout. The rim is pretty narrow, so it feels like you’re drinking from the rim of a regular cup. Plus it is insulated and spill-proof (for real). Ours is solid green with a nice orange wavy stripe at the top and bottom. And most importantly, Hila LOVES it. “Cup a juice! Cup a juice!”

The Search for the Perfect Cup

June 9, 2010March 18, 2021 Sarah1603 Views 2 Comments min read

When I had a baby, I was obsessed with finding the right bottle. Now that I have a toddler, I must find the perfect toddler cup. As of now, we’re still using the BornFree Trainer Cups. Hila is extremely attached to them, and while I’d love for her to graduate away from these very bottle-like cups, I can’t bear to take them away from her. I’m hoping that if I can find other sippy cup that she likes, she’ll slowly create new, less intense attachments to other cups, making BornFree weaning and the transition to a real cup easier. We have random ones around the house. A Life brand cup from SuperPharm, some Munchkin straw cups, and a few Minnie Mouse Take and Toss sippy cups — but she doesn’t really seem to care for any of these. Especially not for drinking milk out of. (She’ll happily drink water or juice out of anything.) Next I will try the Boon Fluid – No Spill Toddler Cup. Maybe it’s time to just stop wasting money on fancy cups and teach her to drink from a cup. Perhaps an attractive mug, like the Thinkbaby Kid Mug would be a nice next step.

Booginhead SippiGrip: The Real Deal

March 25, 2010March 18, 2021 Sarah1002 Views 0 Comments min read

Here’s an inexpensive baby product that once you have, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without. The Booginhead SippiGrip is a sippy cup/bottle strap that attaches baby’s cup to her stroller, car seat, wrist, high chair, etc. What a great idea! Now, when Hila says, “Uh-oh” and then throws her bottle (yes, in that order), I don’t have to pick it up! It remains hanging on the strap for her to pick up on her own when she’s ready.
