How it works
The Olababy First Cup is a 2 oz (60 ml) open cup in grippy silicone, shaped for hands still learning to grasp, with a low 1.8 oz weight and a stable base. It has no lid, so every sip is open-cup drinking.
Stay close for first sips, since the cup is open by design. A 2oz fill means a tipped cup is a small spill to wipe up rather than a soaked bib, which keeps practice low stakes.
Why parents choose it
- Holds 2 oz (60 ml), a practice pour rather than a full serving
- Grippy silicone texture for hands still learning to grasp
- Stable base so the cup stands steady between sips
- Just 2.03" across and 1.8 oz, sized for a first grip
Who it is for
What cup should a 6 month old start with?
A small open cup. The First Cup holds 2 oz, a practice-size pour, in soft, grippy silicone shaped for hands that are still learning to grasp, and its low weight and stable base mean more successful sips and less cleanup. It is made for a baby around 6 months taking first supervised sips. When 2 oz becomes too small, the Silicone Training Cup is the next open cup up.
- Good fit for
- A baby around 6 months taking their first supervised sips from an open cup.
- A beginner who cannot yet control a full cup. 2 oz is a small enough volume to lift, tip and put down.
- A parent following open cup guidance rather than starting with a hard spout sippy.
- Not right for
- A baby who needs a full drink in one go. 2 oz is a practice volume, not a serving.
- Travel or a diaper bag. An open cup has no lid.
- Unsupervised drinking. This cup is open by design.
A small, soft 2oz open cup is what I reach for to introduce open-cup drinking, the size controls flow and the flexible rim is gentle while baby learns lip closure.

More about this one
Why is the First Cup only 2oz?
The Olababy First Cup holds 2 oz (60 ml) because it is a practice cup, not a serving cup. A small pour is light enough for a baby to lift, tip and put down, and when it spills there is only a little to wipe up. For a full drink in one go, a larger cup suits the job.
How do I teach my baby to drink from an open cup without a flood?
Start with a small pour in the Olababy First Cup, which holds at most 2 oz (60 ml), so even a full cup is a small spill. Its grippy silicone and stable base give your baby something to hold, tip and set down between sips. Stay close for every practice session, since the cup is open by design.

More questions (7)
When should my baby start using an open cup or straw?
Pediatric feeding specialists encourage supervised open-cup and straw practice from around 6 months, ahead of weaning off the bottle by 12 to 18 months.
Is this a spill proof sippy cup?
No, and that is on purpose. Instead of a spouted sippy cup, Olababy makes open training cups with stable bases that resist tipping, because supervised open-cup practice builds real drinking skills. If you want protection on the go, the Training Cup with Lid + Straw snaps a lid over the same cup for spill-resistant straw drinking.
When should my baby transition from bottle to cup?
Pediatric feeding specialists suggest introducing a cup around 6 months, alongside the bottle, with the goal of weaning off the bottle by 12 to 18 months. Starting cup practice early with small, supervised sips makes that transition gradual instead of a battle.
Is this safe for my baby?
Yes. Olababy feeding products are made from 100% high-purity food-grade silicone with no fillers, free of BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates, and tested to FDA food-contact standards.
How do I clean and sterilize it?
Silicone products are dishwasher safe (top rack) and can be sterilized in boiling water or a steam sterilizer. Air-dry fully before storing.
