What’s the best sippy cup to buy?

Dentists are concerned that the way no-spill cups are being used may damage young children’s teeth. Frequently sipping squash or juice from bottles or no-spill beakers means a baby’s teeth and gums are constantly bathed in sweet, acidic liquids. This can lead to tooth decay (Oral Health Foundation, 2017). This doesn’t mean that a no handled mug is a bad idea. For the right person ‘grabbing’ a wide vessel between the palms will be much easier. Lids A spill proof cup must have a good seal around the lid but still be easy to remove. However, don’t assume that all mugs with lids will be spill proof when dropped. Anti-break Finally, because a toddler can carry a sippy cup more easily than an open-top cup, they may be more prone to injury if they fall with the cup in their mouth.

When it’s time for your baby to transition off the breast or bottle, it can feel like a hard-to-swallow reminder that your baby is growing. The AAP suggests to start offering your baby a cup around 6 months of age, around the time when they begin solid foods. Some babies may be more ready to try a cup when they are around 9 or 10 months old.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 Verdict 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 If your child doesn’t seem to do well with one type of cup, try another.

"I used to take these on camping trips because if one got filthy or lost, we didn't have to mourn it," said one tester. "And if you have a bunch of little friends or cousins over, these make it easy to give everyone a drink." The differences between non spill cups for adults and a non-spill cup elderly people might find useful aren’t necessarily huge.
