Across the reviewers we read, Dr. Brown's Milestones weighted straw cup is one of the most popular straw-format first cups, with r/NewParents commenters saying 'we love the Dr. Brown straw cups' and Walmart verified reviewers praising the lightweight body and small soft handles that are easy for babies to grip. The weighted straw lets a child drink from any angle, which is the core appeal for early straw learners.
But the criticism here is unusually consistent and comes partly from high-trust sources: an r/toddlers thread describes having to disassemble and reassemble the cup and sip from it themselves just to get it flowing, and r/BabyLedWeaning commenters report 'straw keeps coming out and no water comes out.' The Target verified rating (0.82) and 4.4 Amazon average are the softest among the straw cups we surfaced. It's cheap and well-liked when it works, but the recurring flow and straw-retention complaints are why it lands lower than the top straw picks.
- BABY'S FIRST STRAW CUP. Dr. Brown's Baby's First Straw Cup simplifies the bottle-to-cup transition for you and baby, helping them learn new drinking skills.
- WEIGHTED STRAW SIPPY CUP. The soft silicone weighted straw moves with the liquid in the cup so baby can tip and sip in any direction!
- EASY TO GRIP. Side-grip handles make it easy for little hands to grab and hold. The cup is contoured, and the handles are removable, so it grows with baby as their cup-holding skills improve.
- SPILL-PROOF. The spill-proof, travel-friendly sliding lid stores the straw away when not in use for on-the-go convenience and hygienic storage.
- CONVENIENT MEASURING. Measuring marks let you see how much baby has had to drink.

I like this Dr. Brown's weighted straw cup and it's easy for my baby to use but it does this?? I want to be able to leave it within her ...
We love the Dr. Brown straw cups. We have a few different types, and they're all great. We also like the Infantino-my first tumbler straw cups.
