First Cup for Learning Open-Cup Sips (2oz)

$18.992 oz (60 ml)

A baby's first sip shouldn't come from an 8oz cup. Full-size cups overwhelm small hands and turn every practice session into a soaked bib and a discouraged baby.

How it works

  • Soft on developing gums and teeth
  • Dishwasher safe and easy to clean

  • Grippy texture for unsteady hands

Who it is for

Good fit for
  • A baby around 6 months taking their first supervised sips from an open cup.
  • A beginner who cannot yet control a full cup. 2 oz is a small enough volume to lift, tip and put down.
  • A parent following open cup guidance rather than starting with a hard spout sippy.
Worth knowing
  • A baby who needs a full drink in one go. 2 oz is a practice volume, not a serving.
  • Travel or a diaper bag. An open cup has no lid.
  • Unsupervised drinking. This cup is open by design.

Questions parents ask

What age is it made for?

Made for 6 to 12 months.

What comes in the box?

1 x 2oz first cup.

How do I clean it?

Dishwasher safe (top rack).

What is it made of?

100% high-purity food-grade silicone: BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalate free. Designed in Portland, Oregon.

How big is it?

It holds 2 oz (60 ml). It measures 2.03" dia x 2.5"H (51.6 x 63.5 mm). It weighs 1.8 oz.

When should my baby start using an open cup or straw?

Pediatric feeding specialists encourage supervised open-cup and straw practice from around 6 months, ahead of weaning off the bottle by 12 to 18 months.

Is the straw safe for new teeth?

The straws are soft food-grade silicone: chew-friendly and gentle on gums and new teeth. Replacement straws are available separately.

Is this a spill proof sippy cup?

No, and that is on purpose. Instead of a spouted sippy cup, Olababy makes open training cups with stable bases that resist tipping, because supervised open-cup practice builds real drinking skills. If you want protection on the go, the Training Cup with Lid + Straw snaps a lid over the same cup for spill-resistant straw drinking.

When should my baby transition from bottle to cup?

Pediatric feeding specialists suggest introducing a cup around 6 months, alongside the bottle, with the goal of weaning off the bottle by 12 to 18 months. Starting cup practice early with small, supervised sips makes that transition gradual instead of a battle.

Is a silicone sippy cup better than plastic?

We think so. Our cups are 100% food-grade silicone: free of BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates, and tested to FDA food-contact standards. The soft rim is gentle on gums and new teeth, the material will not crack when a cup is tipped or thrown, and it goes in the dishwasher (top rack) or a steam sterilizer.

Is this safe for my baby?

Yes. Olababy feeding products are made from 100% high-purity food-grade silicone with no fillers, free of BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates, and tested to FDA food-contact standards.

How do I clean and sterilize it?

Silicone products are dishwasher safe (top rack) and can be sterilized in boiling water or a steam sterilizer. Air-dry fully before storing.

What if it does not work for us?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery (see our return policy for details). US shipping is free on orders over $49.

Why buy from olababy.us instead of a retailer?

Olababy.us is the official store and the only place with the complete lineup: every product, every colorway, replacement parts, and bundle pricing. Orders over $49 ship free in the US, returns are accepted for 30 days, and support comes directly from the Olababy team.

Why Olababy

Every feeding product is one material, food-grade silicone, soft enough for gums that are still teething and inert enough to go through a dishwasher for years. The panel above names what is in it and what is kept out of it.

Olababy has designed in Portland, Oregon since 2015, with parents testing the things their own children eat from.

US shipping is free over $49 and returns run for 30 days from purchase.

When can a baby start baby led weaning?

The American Academy of Pediatrics says babies are usually ready to start solid foods at around 6 months, and that some infants may be ready as early as 4 months. It adds that each child's readiness depends on their own rate of development.

What does food grade silicone actually mean?

Rubber articles intended for repeated use in contact with aqueous food shall meet the following specifications: The food-contact surface of the rubber article in the finished form in which it is to contact food, when extracted with distilled water at reflux temperature, shall yield total extractives not to exceed 20 milligrams per square inch during the first 7 hours of extraction, nor to exceed 1 milligram per square inch during the succeeding 2 hours of extraction.

US Food and Drug Administration21 CFR 177.2600, Rubber articles intended for repeated use, paragraph (e)

When should my child stop using a sippy cup?

The American Academy of Pediatrics describes sippy cups as a stage children pass through while they are learning, and says it is healthiest for a child to be drinking from an open cup by around 2 years of age.

Why does letting a baby feed themselves matter?

Leslie Schilling, a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-author of a book on baby led weaning, writes in Today's Dietitian that self feeding is a natural first step that can build feeding confidence and oral skills, and can help prevent overfeeding.

Does baby led weaning help a baby learn when they are full?

Laura Lucas, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital, says one of the main benefits of baby led weaning is that it helps babies learn to recognise their own satiety levels, and that with proper handling and supervision it is safe for most babies who are developmentally ready.

What skills is a baby practising when they feed themselves?

Kimberly Churbock, a physician writing for Cleveland Clinic, describes a baby picking up a piece of food, bringing it to their mouth, manipulating it, chewing and swallowing, and notes that all of those actions require fine motor skills and oral motor skills.

What if my baby is unsure about a new texture?

Amy Klein, an occupational therapist at Cincinnati Children's, writes that for a baby who is not sure about a new taste or texture, self feeding gives them control to manipulate it in their mouth and swallow it or not, and that it also aids hand eye coordination.
