A Mum’s Review: Dr. Brown’s Trainer Cups Collection

As a mum of two little ones, I’m always on the lookout for products that make life easier. When I discovered Dr. Brown’s Trainer Cups, I knew I had to give them a try. From the first sips to independent drinking, each cup has been thoughtfully designed to support my kids as they grow. Here’s my honest take after putting them all to the test!

Dr. Brown’s Milestones™ Baby’s First Straw Cup – £9.29

This was a game-changer for transitioning from bottle to cup. The soft, weighted straw allows my baby to drink from any angle (even when tipped upside down), and the removable handles make gripping easy for little hands. I also love the spill-proof design and travel-friendly lid, which keeps the straw clean when we’re on the go. Bonus points for the lovely Coral and Dark Blue colour options!

Dr. Brown’s Milestones™ Hard Spout Insulated Cup – £8.99

Perfect for keeping drinks cool during warm days, this insulated cup was a hit with my toddler. The hard spout is great for transitioning from soft spouts, and the double-wall construction really does help maintain the drink’s temperature. It’s also leak-resistant, which is a lifesaver when dealing with energetic little ones!

Dr. Brown’s Milestones™ Sippy Straw Bottle – £7.99

The easy-sip straw and lightweight design make this bottle a great next step in my toddler’s drinking journey. It’s super easy to clean, and the flip-top lid is fantastic for preventing spills when out and about. My little one loves the independence this bottle provides!

Dr. Brown’s Milestones™ Cheers 360 Spoutless Cup – £7.99

This cup was a bit of an adjustment, but once my toddler figured it out, it became a favourite! The 360-degree design allows drinking from any edge, just like a regular cup, but with the added benefit of being spill-proof. It’s great for encouraging an open-cup drinking transition while reducing messes.

Final Thoughts

Dr. Brown’s really understands what parents need—cups that are durable, leak-resistant, easy to clean, and supportive of every stage of a child’s drinking development. I love that their designs are practical yet fun, and my kids took to them quickly. If you’re looking for reliable, thoughtfully designed trainer cups, I highly recommend this range!
