How it works
The Olababy 5oz training cup pairs a tapered, weighted base that resists tipping with a soft silicone straw that has no valve. Without a valve, your baby draws the liquid up through the straw, which is the skill being practiced. The translucent body lets your baby see the liquid move and lets you see how much went down.
Snap the lid on for straw drinking and lift it off for open-cup practice. When a straw gets chewed or a lid goes missing, the lid and straw are also sold as a replacement set.
Why parents choose it
- Two ways to drink: straw with the lid on, open cup with the lid off
- Tapered, weighted base resists tipping but stays easy for small hands to lift
- Soft silicone straw with no valve, gentle on new teeth
- Translucent body shows how much your baby has had to drink
- Holds 5 oz (150 ml), with a larger 9oz cup for toddlers
what it does
four things that matter at the table
you can see the feed
The translucent silicone was chosen on purpose. Babies watch the liquid move and connect the action to the result, and you can see exactly how much went down.
a base that stays put
The tapered, weighted base resists tipping while still being light enough for small hands to lift. Fewer knocked over cups, less cleanup, more practice.
a straw with no valve
The soft silicone straw is gentle on new teeth and has no valve to suck against, which is the point: the skill a straw cup should build is the skill a valve works against.
Who it is for
Is this a good straw cup for a baby?
It is a 5oz silicone training cup that does two jobs from about 6 months: snap the lid on for spill-resistant straw drinking, or take it off for supervised open cup practice. The soft silicone straw has no valve, so your baby draws the liquid, which is the skill being learned. A tapered, weighted base resists tipping, and the translucent body lets your baby see the liquid move.
- 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 right 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.
The 5oz size with a soft straw is a good first straw cup, low weight for small hands and a flow rate that doesn't overwhelm a new straw drinker.

More about this one
Is this straw cup spill proof?
No. The Olababy 5oz straw cup is spill-resistant with the lid on, and its straw has no valve to seal it shut. With the lid off it is an open cup by design, meant for supervised practice. What it adds is a tapered, weighted base that resists tipping, so the cup is less likely to go over in the first place.
Does the straw have a valve, and how hard does my baby have to suck?
No, the straw on the Olababy 5oz training cup has no valve. It is soft silicone, and your baby does the work of drawing the liquid up through it, which is the straw skill they are learning. If the straw gets chewed or lost, the lid and straw can be replaced together as a set.
When should my child move up to the 9oz cup?
Move up to the Olababy 9oz training cup when your child is 12 months or older and regularly empties the 5oz cup in one sitting. The 9oz cup works the same way, lid off for open-cup drinking and lid on for straw drinking, and holds more, which means one fill instead of two on longer outings.

Questions parents ask
When can my baby start using this cup?
This size is for 6 to 12 months and for 12 months and up. 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. Take the lid off for supervised open cup practice, snap it on for spill-resistant straw drinking.
What comes in the box?
1 x 5oz training cup with lid + straw.
Is this a spill proof sippy cup?
No, and that is on purpose. It is not a spouted sippy cup: lid off, it is an open training cup with a base that resists tipping, because supervised open-cup practice builds real drinking skills. For protection on the go, snap the lid on for spill-resistant straw drinking.
How do I clean and sterilize the cup and straw?
Dishwasher safe, top rack. The lid and the straw lift off, so every surface gets to the water; rinse the straw through under running water. The silicone can also be sterilized in boiling water or a steam sterilizer. Air-dry fully before storing.
What is it made of, and why silicone instead of plastic or stainless steel?
It is 100% high-purity food-grade silicone, free of BPA, PVC, lead and phthalates, and soft on developing gums and teeth. The wall is translucent, so you can see how much went down. Designed in Portland, Oregon.
More questions (6)
When should we move up to the 9 oz?
When 5 oz (150 ml) stops covering a sitting. The 9 oz (270 ml) cup keeps the same soft straw and a stable tapered base, and it fits most cup holders. Switch sizes in the picker above.
How big is it?
It holds 5 oz (150 ml). It measures 2.8" dia x 4.69"H (71.2 x 119 mm). It weighs 4.23 oz (120 g).
Is the straw safe for new teeth?
The straws are soft food-grade silicone: chew-friendly and gentle on gums and new teeth. Replacement straws are available separately.
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.

Great cup!
My baby loves drinking water from this cup. I like that the straw cannot be pulled through the top because with his last cup he would remove the straw and play with it. He loves holding the cup himself and even when he flips it over to play with it, only a little water comes out.
George Sanders - Rated 5 out of 5Verified buyer
Our top choice
We have been buying these cups for our kids and they have worked the best compared to other brands and styles. These cups really helped us transition from bottle to cup. The measurements on the cups are really helpful and I hope they keep that feature.

Easy to learn!
Being able to squeeze the water up into the straw helped my baby learn almost immediately. Love this cup!

Must buy!
I purchased this cup to assist my 6 month old in beginning to get familiar with a drinking cup. The product is a perfect size for little hands, the material gentle, and it’s just so darn cute!

Definitely accurate description!
We followed the instructions for using the cup, and it worked like a charm. Our eight month old even grabbed it herself and was able to drink out of the straw for the first time. Great product.

Great starter cup
Great starter cup. I’ve been using this for my 6 month old and it’s great shes able to drink water without it spilling everywhere. It’s not 100% leak proof but I like the cup. Well made product.

Great straw cups
Ordered three straw cups & love how easy they are to clean, measure the amount of liquid, and pick up/carry by my toddler.

Ola
I love this cup. The option of a straw cup, sipping cup or an open cup makes it the perfect cup for my daughter to grow with. I love that the base is heavier to avoid tipping and it’s a high grade silicone which is hygienic, healthier than plastic and won’t have you worrying about it breaking. I’m a dental hygienist and I can vouch that the Ola cup won’t interfere with oral development like traditional sippy cups. The pink color and overall design is so cute and I really like how the surface isn’t slippery so it’s easy for my daughter to grip. This cup might be pricier but it’ll be the only cup we use for a long time!

Training cup with lid
All of Ola Baby’s products have worked so well for our daughter since she was a newborn. She is accustomed to how it feels in her hands so staying with this brand through all her transitions have been comforting to her, and helpful to us as parents. Excellent product and excellent customer service!

Amazing straw trainer!
I bought this cup as a spur the moment thing that I just googled. I read some of the reviews and was sold. I am so satisfied with this cup! I was struggling with other straw cups (tried a few different types) and my 1 year old would just bite the straw. This cup allowed me to press up some of the water and he quickly realized that he could suck with the straw. Now we have moved on to bigger cups! Thank you ola baby!

Great cup!
My son is 11 months old. The first time we used it, he was able to hold it and drink from it himself. This cup is amazing! I have since bought 2 more and sent one to school.
Andrea Gadway - Rated 5 out of 5Verified buyer
Super great
Great cup. I like that it’s translucent so I can see how full it is. I like the flared base so it doesn’t fall over easily. I like the straw it makes it easy for my child to drink out of. Very pleased with my purchase.

Well thought out design
I’m excited to use this cup with my 8 month old. I like how the bottle of the cup is wide so it won’t easily tip over.

This is a fantastic product. My 8 month old can drink with ease without a concern that he will hurt his mouth. The product is sturdy, washes well and withstands many tosses off the table!

Best straw cup
Very good and easy use, this is the second one I bought for my son, now he’s got one for the morning and one for the afternoon
Qinlin zhou - Rated 5 out of 5
The cutest and most functional cup ever!
My two year old loves this cup and so do I. It's made of food safe silicone. It's so soft and can be used three different ways. It can be used with the lid and straw, straw only, or cup only. It is also super easy to wash. Ola baby has really thought about everything. The cup has a wide weighted base which makes it hard to tip over. The straw has a stopper ring to prevent it from being pulled out of the lid. The cup also has ounce measurements on the side for those tracking hydration for their little one. The cup fits perfectly in my little ones hands and the colors are absolutely beautiful.

Great for learning!
This cup has been great for my little one teaching how to drink. It is squeezable so the parent can help with liquid flow.
Customer - Rated 3 out of 5Verified buyer
Perhaps a good fit for an older child?
I love the concept but it must be a better fit for an older child. Our 11 month old (which developmentally is at the cup learning stage, so I thought I’d give this a try) is great at straw cups but is also great at throwing said cup from his high chair. While he loves to hold and drink with this, when he tosses it (multiple times each meal) the liquid often ends up all over the ground because the lid popped out or it just leaked out. Preferentially, I use the straw lid of the bottle to help semi-contain the mess. Otherwise, this cleans well, is a great size for little hands, and it’s base is sturdy so it doesn’t knock over unless that’s the goal.

Not the best
Wasn’t impressed. My daughter is 15 months and is able to get the lid off. She also knows that if she turns it upside down that all the water will come out so clean up is fun.
