Open cups, straw cups and what changes between them

Learning to drink is wobbly work, so the cups are built for it. The open training cup has a weighted base that resists tipping and a soft rim that is gentle on gums and new teeth, and the 2oz first cup keeps early practice low stakes. When a lid is needed, the 5oz training cup takes a snap on lid and a soft silicone straw. Translucent bodies let a baby watch the liquid move.

Which cup do we start with, and when?

Common guidance is to introduce a cup alongside solids at around six months, and the smallest one is the easiest place to start because a 2oz pour limits how much can go wrong. The Silicone Training Cup is an open cup with no lid at all, which is the version that actually teaches sipping. A straw cup is the one to add later for the car and the bag.

Is any of this cup spill resistant?

The 5oz straw cup is spill resistant with its lid on, which means it holds up to being knocked over on a table, not that it can be shaken in a bag. The 11oz tumbler closes with a press seal lid and a straw. The open training cups are open cups: they have no lid and they will pour out if they go over. That is the tradeoff that makes them the ones a baby learns from.
