But if an accident happens, it's water, so no real harm. I actually can't remember ever mopping up a spill, though. And I'm going on 20 years.
3 of my seven I could trust to use the correct cup. The other two would know and use the wrong cup on purpose. One is tube fed and doesn't get a cup at all and one is bottle fed. Whew.
I certainly admire you though. I can tell you care about the munchkins!!
