How it works

The Olababy 9oz training cup holds 9 oz (270 ml) under a lid with a soft silicone straw, and keeps the stable tapered base of the 5oz training cup. Lift the lid off and it becomes an open cup.

Keep the lid on for the car and longer outings, where 9 oz means one fill instead of two. Lift it off at the table for open-cup practice. It is the next size up from the 5oz training cup, for a toddler who empties the smaller cup in one sitting.

Why parents choose it

  • 9 oz (270 ml) capacity, one fill for a long outing
  • Stable tapered base sized for most car cup holders
  • Lid lifts off to turn the straw cup into an open cup
  • Keeps the soft silicone straw of the 5oz training cup, with more room

what it does

four things that matter at the table

kiwi training cup with the lid on and the straw in place

two cups in one

Lid off, it is an open cup for supervised practice at the table. Lid on, the soft straw takes over for everyday drinking. One purchase covers both skills.

you can see the feed

The silicone wall is translucent, so a glance tells you how much is left and how much went down.

a base that stays put

The stable tapered base carries straight over from the 5 oz cup, and this size fits most cup holders.

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

Good fit for
  • A toddler 12 months and up, which is the only stage tag on this product.
  • A child who empties the 5oz cup in one sitting and needs the larger volume.
  • The same two modes as the 5oz cup: lid off for open cup drinking, lid on for straw drinking.
  • Longer outings, where 9 oz means one fill instead of two.
Not right for
  • A baby under 12 months. The 5oz training cup is the size tagged for 6 to 12 months.
  • A child taking their very first straw sips, where a smaller cup is easier to hold.
  • A parent who wants a valve-based no-spill sippy. There is no valve in this lid, and the cup is open when the lid is off.

A soft, short straw with manageable flow supports the straw-drinking pattern we build in therapy, and the removable lid keeps open-cup practice on the table.

More about this one

Can I use this straw cup for milk?

Yes. The Olababy 9oz training cup is made for water, milk or smoothies, and at 9 oz (270 ml) a toddler's drink fits in one fill. The lid and straw come off the cup, and the lid, straw and cup all wash on the upper dishwasher rack after a milk day.

Does it fit a car cup holder?

Yes. The Olababy 9oz training cup has a stable tapered base that fits most car cup holders, and the cup measures 2.83" across and 5.72" tall. Keep the lid and straw on for the drive, then lift the lid off at home when your toddler practices open-cup drinking at the table.

What is included

1 training cup (9 oz) with lid and straw.

How to clean it

Dishwasher safe (top rack).

Rinse the straw through under running water.

Replacement parts

The lid and the straw are separate, replaceable parts. Replacement straws fit this cup.

Questions parents ask

When can my baby start using this cup?

This size is 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 straw drinking.

What comes in the box?

1 x 9oz 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 stable tapered base that resists tipping, because supervised open-cup practice builds real drinking skills. Lid on, the soft straw takes over for everyday 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)

Is the 9 oz just a bigger version?

It keeps the soft silicone straw and the stable tapered base of the 5 oz and adds capacity: 9 oz (270 ml) for water, milk or smoothies. It also fits most cup holders. Switch sizes in the picker above.

How big is it?

It holds 9 oz (270 ml). It measures 2.83" dia x 5.72"H (72 x 145.2 mm). It weighs 5.15 oz (146 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.

the material

light goes right through it

Training cup in kiwi held up to the light, with light passing through the translucent silicone

Hold this cup up to a window. Light passes straight through 100% food-grade silicone, and the wall stays translucent on purpose: your baby watches the liquid move, you see how much went down. Every part that touches your baby is that same gum-soft, food-grade silicone.

Why Olababy

Every feeding product is one material, food-grade silicone, soft enough for gums that are still teething and inert enough to go through a dishwasher for years. The panel above names what is in it and what is kept out of it.

Olababy has designed in Portland, Oregon since 2015, with parents testing the things their own children eat from.

    What a great design! I love that it had the amount on a side and it was so easy to clean and put together

    Excellent

    The cups, both with and without straws fit the hands of our 13 m.o. perfectly. He loves to use them both! He's now on track to make the transition and the maintenance is absolutely hassle-fee.

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.

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.

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.

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.
