Does the Legendairy Milk cup actually help with bottle-to-cup transitions?

How the Legendairy Milk cup's silicone straw actually works

Here's what's actually going on inside that cup. A straw and a bottle nipple ask a baby's mouth to do two different jobs, a nipple lets milk flow with a gentle suck and swallow, a straw asks the tongue and cheeks to actively pull liquid up and over a hump. That's a real developmental step, not a preference, and it's why so many babies clamp their mouths shut around a hard spout and refuse to budge. The soft silicone straw here is the bridge, it flexes and gives the way a nipple does, so the pulling motion feels closer to what she already knows how to do, and the jump to a straw doesn't feel like a jump at all. The honey bear body isn't just cute either, the rounded shape and small ear handles are sized for hands still learning to grip and lift, which matters more than it sounds like it should when the alternative is a slick cylinder that keeps sliding out of a toddler's fist. And because the parts that actually touch the milk are silicone rather than hard plastic, you're not scrubbing out the faint sour smell that clings to plastic straws after a few weeks, the dishwasher does most of it and the included brush handles the corners it misses. None of that guarantees how quickly a particular baby takes to it. Some take a week, some take a month, some skip the cup entirely. What the design does is remove the physical reasons a baby would reject it, so if it doesn't click right away, that's temperament, not equipment.
