Yup...actually, DD is almost 3. She uses the Munchkin straw sippy cups.

Sometimes she asks to drink it out of a "big girl cup" with a straw.

Re: Does your 2 year old still drink milk out of a sippy?

Yup she still drinks all her drinks (except for the occasional juice box) out of a sippy cup. She does know how to drink out of a covered cup with a straw but if the vent comes dislodged on her sippy cups she immediately makes a mess.

ETA: Right now she's loving the Munchkin Dora cups without the straw.

Reluctantly... She always wants a big girl cup. I can get her to use these and they are easier to clean then the other straw sippy cups..

Yes he does. I use sippy cups with straws for all their drinks (never liked regular sippy cips for some reason only straw cups).

While he can drink out of a uncovered cup, I am not ready to deal with spills and accidents. I mostly use the take and toss straw cups (I considered them sippy cups though - are they???) for milk and toss as they get grubby. My oldest drank his milk out of his sippies until probably 4/4.5 when I finally felt comfy that he wasn't going to play with it and rarely have spills.

We have a few sippy cups.

The Playtex, Dora with the straw, and the Take and Toss (with straw and with sippy covers).

I use the Playtex when out of the house because they don't leak.

DD is going to be 4 and she still drinks most of her drinks from the take and toss straw cups. She can drink from a regular cup but if shes having a drink anywhere but the kitchen I make her put it in a take and toss for fear of her spilling ...

I've never had a problem if I rinse them right away and then run them through the dishwasher in one of the top-rack baskets. Do you have a dishwasher?

I just use regular straws with them.

They fit great.

Re: Does your 2 year old still drink milk out of a sippy?

She did, but at 2.5 we just switched to regular cups (and cups with straws if we are out).

ETS: When in the house, the cups stays in the kitchen. She is not allowed to eat or drink in any other room.
