E.D.
There are non-spill sippy cups that have straws, instead of the sippy cup tops.
My child care provider showed me these & my son was off sippy cups & using the straws when he was about 11/12mos. They are non-spill & the straw is much better than the sippy cup top, for oral development.
I find them in Babies R Us/Toys R Us - baby section and found them in Walmart too.
