What is a Sippy Cup?

A sippy cup is a transitional or training cup generally with a screw or snap on lid and a silicone spout that allows your toddler drink with no the fear of spilling whatever liquid they are drinking. You can get sippy cups with or without training handles and sippy cups come with a variety of spouts. Sippy cups can be a great way for your baby to change from breastfeeding or bottle-feeding to a normal cup. Sippy cups can also assist to advance hand-to-mouth skills. When your baby or toddler has the skills to handle a cup, but not the skills to keep the drink from spilling, a sippy cup can give her some independence while keeping cleanup to a minimum. Sippy cups can be introduced between 5 and 6 months old.
