I was super excited for this (expensive) product; unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The tip/nipple is very hard, my child is not interested in it whatsoever ever. Furthermore, the suction required to get food is very onerus also (I tried myself) - although I understand the logic of it being hard/anti spill mechanism. Currently, my child is 14 months, I am hoping in a couple of months, I am able to use this product.
