You might have looked at what cups are out there and if so, you’ll know the choice can be overwhelming. You can get sippy cups, beakers, ‘no-spill’ designs, free-flow and open cups for babies and toddlers. Here’s some advice: Open cups avoid the need for further transitions from bottle, to spout, to open cup. (NHS Choices, 2015; Oral Health Foundation, 2017)
It can feel quite overwhelming to introduce a new way of drinking to your baby, especially at a time when you're also contending with the mess weaning brings along. Here's some advice from baby experts the NCT: Cups for elderly people who have weakness in their arms will benefit from a light cup with large, easy to grip handle(s) which make it easy to pour. Poor motor control in the hand and fingers. The amount of options on the wall of sippy cups at your local mass-market store or even the one at the supermarket can be overwhelming. Zero in on the main things you need:You might find attending one of our Early Days groups helpful as they give you the opportunity to explore different approaches to important parenting issues with a qualified group leader and other new parents in your area. Look for an unspillable cup that is easy to grasp between the palms of both hands. A lid that is easy to remove will support their levels of independence too. What to look for in non spill drinking cups for the elderly and other adults Non spill cups with handles make the transition from table to mouth much simpler and less messy. The ability to grip large, grooved handles with two hands massively increases stability. There are many kinds of sippy cups - whether you’re going for soft spouts, hard spouts, straws or free-flowing, open cups - with tons of great features. You might want to consider leak-proof for travel; spill-proof for, well, always; cups with handles for tiny hands to easily hold; eco-options; even glow-in-the-dark numbers for nighttimes. You may try a sippy cup with your child as early as 4 months old, but it’s not necessary to begin the switch this early.
A sippy you can easily clean: Not to freak you out, but straws and spouts and seals and valves can all get a little gross. The fewer the pieces, the easier a sippy cup may be to scrub. See our box below on cleaning your sippy cups. We got the MAM trainer cups and she absolutely loves them, they are quite spongy on her gums which seems good for her’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, Sammilouwho Our VerdictSpoutless/flat lid: Lastly, there are cups with a flat lid - no spout at all. Like the Munchkin on this list, they’re sometimes called 360 cups. Kids can drink from any angle so it resembles a normal cup, but it still has a lid (often, this seals shut after use) to prevent spills. I used one of these for my daughter, it took her a few attempts to get used to it and I didn’t push/rush it & just used bottles till she got the hang of it’ - recommended by Mumsnet user, MarigoldMoonStone Our Verdict
