Cup for 6 month old

Hi!

Our just-turning-6-month-old is EBF and has expressed milk in a bottle once a day.

As part of his weaning journey, we're keen to start introducing cups and cutlery in an age-appropriate way. We were surprised to see the NHS advice is to completely avoid valves, teats etc and go straight to an open cup.

Not doubting the guidance, it does make sense what they're saying about teeth and learning to sip etc, but... it sounds like it will be very hard for him to grasp! (Literally...)

Anyone got tips or cup recommendations to share? We have seen the "Doidy" cup recommended, is this any good?

Please hit me with alllllll your wisdom. Thanks!
