Think back to before you had kids. I know it makes your brain hurt, but try. Did you ever think it would be an issue that you would have to teach your child HOW to drink from a SIPPY CUP? Personally, I never gave it a nano-second of a thought before my eldest daughter turned one. And that’s when the trouble began.
Weaning my daughter from breastfeeding to a bottle was difficult. At times, horrendous. But compared to weaning her off of the bottle and on to a sippy cup was a whole other animal. We spend countless hours and millions tons of money searching for that ONE cup she’d like and learn to take.
Finally, after a visit with my cousin, I discovered the Nuby soft sipper Gripper cup. The heavens opened up, the light shined in on me, and I shouted, “Hallelujah!” (I even prounounced the “j.”)
I found the cup that she would take. And it was cheap! And replacement spouts were available! And they were easy to clean! And I shouted a lot!
Now, almost 3 years later, Nuby has finally released an all-in-one trainer pack of cups that are designed just for the purpose of weaning your baby (or toddler) from the bottle and on to a sippy cup! (Do you hear a “Hallelujah?”)
The Nuby 3 Stage Wide Neck Feeding System Training Sippy Cup with Nipples and Spouts BPA Free (long name, I know) is the answer to your prayers, positive thinking, and mind-wracking.
The feeding training system includes 1 each of the following items:
Just a reminder - you can get all of the Nuby replacement nipples and Nuby replacement spouts you need for the system from Good for the Kids. (I hear another “Hallelujah.”)
Giveaway
We love giving away goodies, so we’re giving away a $40 gift certificate good for Nuby sippy cups (and anything else you might want from our incredibly stocked store)! Leave a comment here by Monday, June 9th, 11:59pm EST with the name of your favorite Gift Ideas item. (Comment must include the name of an item.)
If your comment is chosen as the winner, and a Gift Idea item is not included in the comment, we’ll pick another winner. Sorry - them’s the rules. (BTW - I know them’s not a real word. A little attempt at nerdish grammar humor.) The winner(s) will be notified here on the blog, via email, and on Prizey.Winners.

We’ve got ourselves a brand-spanking new website, and with a new website, comes giveaways, discounts, and a sale!
One thing we’re really excited about is offering a line of organic toys from Plan Toys, a Green Company with Green Toys. They’re due to arrive in the store next week after Memorial Day, but we’re taking pre-orders now!
We still carry all of the best of Melissa & Doug toys like classic wooden toys, puzzles, baby toys, and stuffed animals. Most people don’t know this, but Melissa & Doug products carry a lifetime guarantee! So play with confidence that your toys will last a lifetime.
We’re of course still carrying an enormous selection of BPA-Free sippy cups and bottles from Nuby, Green to Grow, The First Years, and The Safe Sippy (due back in June). If you want to be the first to know about The Safe Sippy’s arrival, visit the product description page and request a notification.
And now for the giveaway! Because we’re so super excited about our new site and its functionality (and it looks so purty), Good for the Kids is giving away a $100 gift certificate to one lucky commenter drawn at random on Wednesday, May 28, at 11:59pm EST. Leave a comment below letting us know your favorite item on the site, and if you wanna, your happy nice encouraging thoughts about the new site. (Can you tell we like it?) By the way, you don’t even have to use the gift certificate all at once. You can use it several times if you just can decide what you want. I know - awesome, right?
We encourage gossip - the good kind at least - so for every site you tell us about that you’ve submitted our giveaway to or posted about, you can comment again for another chance to win. Leave your second/third/eleventh comment, each with the site to which you submitted our giveaway or posted about (we’ll check it out to make sure it’s live), and you’ve got yourself another entry!
If we get more than 500 comments here, we’ll give away TWO (that’s 2) $100 gift certificates to commenters. So, get busy spreading the word about the new Good for the Kids site and our giveaway, and you increase your chance of winning.
Entries are limited to one per person (or more if you spread the word as you read about above) to residents of the US and Canada only. We love our international customers, but contest rules are tricky. Laws… puh-shaw…
Now until the end of May, use coupon code 15gftkblog for 15% off your orders. Isn’t this the most awesome blog post you’ve ever stumbled upon? OK, I’m stretching that a bit.
Winner(s) will be posted here, notified through email, and posted on Prizey.Winners.
