straw cup question
Does anyone know of a straw cup that can take regular straws? Basically, I'm looking for a cup with a hole in the lid. It does not have to be spill proof. DS decided this week that he no longer wants to drink from a sippy cup, but will avidly drink from a straw cup. The problem is, he likes to put his fingers into the water and drop food in the cup while using the straw.
I bought some of the take n toss straw cups but did not realize that it needed to use the straws that came with it. Question for those that use these or other straw cups from playtex, evenflo, etc. How do you clean the straw? Does the dishwasher adequately clean the inside of the straw? I was washing the straw by hand but wasn't sure that I was adequately cleaning the inside of the straw.
Thanks.
