## What it is

Sippy cups can delay the very skills they promise to teach. Pediatric feeding specialists recommend open cups and straw drinking over hard-spout sippies, but most cups built for those skills tip, spill, and frustrate.

This training cup does both jobs: remove the lid for supervised open-cup practice, snap it on for spill-resistant straw drinking. The soft silicone straw is gentle on new teeth, and the tapered, weighted base resists tipping while remaining easy for small hands to lift.

### The translucent body

The cup's translucent silicone was chosen deliberately: babies can see the liquid moving as they drink, which helps them connect action to result, and parents can see exactly how much went down.

## What is included

1 x 5oz training cup with lid + straw.

## Why parents choose it

- Soft on developing gums and teeth
- Dishwasher safe and easy to clean

## Independent guidance on infant feeding

- When can a baby start baby led weaning? The American Academy of Pediatrics says babies are usually ready to start solid foods at around 6 months, and that some infants may be ready as early as 4 months. It adds that each child's readiness depends on their own rate of development. Source: Ifunanya A. Agbim, MD, FAAP; Christine Waasdorp Hurtado, MD, FAAP in [American Academy of Pediatrics, Baby-Led Weaning: Is It Safe?, HealthyChildren.org](https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/feeding-nutrition/Pages/baby-led-weaning-is-it-safe.aspx)
- What does food grade silicone actually mean? Rubber articles intended for repeated use in contact with aqueous food shall meet the following specifications: The food-contact surface of the rubber article in the finished form in which it is to contact food, when extracted with distilled water at reflux temperature, shall yield total extractives not to exceed 20 milligrams per square inch during the first 7 hours of extraction, nor to exceed 1 milligram per square inch during the succeeding 2 hours of extraction. Source: [US Food and Drug Administration, 21 CFR 177.2600, Rubber articles intended for repeated use, paragraph (e)](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-177/subpart-C/section-177.2600)
- When should my child stop using a sippy cup? The American Academy of Pediatrics describes sippy cups as a stage children pass through while they are learning, and says it is healthiest for a child to be drinking from an open cup by around 2 years of age.

- Why does letting a baby feed themselves matter? Leslie Schilling, a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-author of a book on baby led weaning, writes in Today's Dietitian that self feeding is a natural first step that can build feeding confidence and oral skills, and can help prevent overfeeding.

- Does baby led weaning help a baby learn when they are full? Laura Lucas, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital, says one of the main benefits of baby led weaning is that it helps babies learn to recognise their own satiety levels, and that with proper handling and supervision it is safe for most babies who are developmentally ready.

- What skills is a baby practising when they feed themselves? Kimberly Churbock, a physician writing for Cleveland Clinic, describes a baby picking up a piece of food, bringing it to their mouth, manipulating it, chewing and swallowing, and notes that all of those actions require fine motor skills and oral motor skills. Source: Kimberly Churbock, MD in [Cleveland Clinic, Baby-Led Weaning: What It Is and How To Do It Safely](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/baby-led-weaning)
- What if my baby is unsure about a new texture? Amy Klein, an occupational therapist at Cincinnati Children's, writes that for a baby who is not sure about a new taste or texture, self feeding gives them control to manipulate it in their mouth and swallow it or not, and that it also aids hand eye coordination.

## Good fit for

- A baby around 6 months starting supervised open cup practice, using the cup with the lid removed.
- A baby who is ready to learn straw drinking. The straw is soft silicone and has no valve, so the baby does the work of drawing liquid, which is the skill being learned.
- A baby moving off the bottle, as the middle rung between a soft spout and a full open cup.
- A 10 month old: yes. This is inside the tagged 6 to 12 month range, the 5oz capacity suits that age, and both drinking modes are age-appropriate.

## Not the right fit for

- A newborn or a baby under about 6 months, who is not yet sitting supported or ready for cup drinking.
- A toddler who needs more than 5 oz in one go. The 9oz training cup is the larger version.
- A parent who wants a fully spill-proof cup. The lid is spill-resistant, not spill-proof, and the cup is deliberately open when the lid is off.
- A valve-based no-spill sippy, which this deliberately is not.
