When should I introduce a sippy cup to my baby?
You should introduce a sippy cup around six months of age, when a baby can place a hand on either side of the sippy cup and can control it for themselves. Be prepared for messes in the beginning with a sippy cup. It's a training tool. At the very beginning, the baby should make a mess drinking from the sippy cup. They should drip it down themselves. They're probably going to pour it in their hair. This is all perfectly normal behaviour. The goal is to have the sippy cup be the only thing used by twelve months.
