Open cup vs sippy vs straw - what age and what worked?

9 months. Was planning to skip sippy and go straight to straw + open cup. SLT friend says straw is great. Any cup recommendations?

Munchkin 360 is the only sippy worth bothering with - works like an open cup but spill-resistant.

Doidy cup for open cup. Looks weird but designed for tiny hands.

Take and Toss straw cups - cheap, great for learning.

We skipped sippy entirely. Open cup with help at meals, straw cup for on-the-go.

ezpz Tiny Cup for open cup practice - perfect size.
