baby’s drinking journey: which cup when?

baby’s drinking journey: which cup when?

Learning new skills is all about the journey first, then the destination. After all, practice makes perfect!  For young children navigating drinking, the right tools at just the right time can be incredibly helpful too. But if you’re unsure of which baby bottle or baby cup to use, and when, this should clear it up for you!

Baby, you got this!

Whether partly or wholly bottle-feeding, your baby will likely use a baby bottle sometime during the first 12 months be it for breast milk, formula, or cooled, boiled water. But when it’s time to transition them to drinking from a cup, we thought we’d introduce you to our next-level drinking products!

Bottoms up!

sippy cup from 6m+

Once baby is over 6 months old, why not help his or her transition to a straw - with a leak-proof sippy cup!

The weighted straw moves with the liquid, so baby can drink lying, sitting, or standing whichever way it’s tilted. Serve with warm or cool options like water, fresh juice, and smoothies: to introduce baby to new and exciting flavors.

Great as a replacement for the ritual morning and night milk bottle when baby is ready to transition away from the teat, at around 12 months of age.

The ultimate must-have, our sippy cup is ideal when out-and-about or traveling with kids because it won’t leak. No more messy spills or soggy bags!

training cup from 9m+

Does your little kid want to drink like a big kid? The training cup is the ideal way for kids to learn to drink from a cup. The training cup mimics the flow of a big kid’s cup, by funneling liquids into the rim for easy free-flow drinking. The cup also features a unique water window in the lid so kids can learn to see the liquid as they’re drinking and judge how much to tilt their cup. With its interchangeable base and lids, it means you can also switch between the spout, sippy cup and training lids as baby grows.

All the while, this cup minimizes spills as baby uses the unique window to judge how much to lift, tilt and drink. It’s the ideal stepping-stone to a regular, open cup for water, milk, you name it! And it’s less-mess for folks too, particularly when dining out or visiting friends.
