The Tippy Up Cup is primarily made from Polypropylene; a material which is entirely BPA free and which does not contain or leach any harmful chemicals or toxins. It can also be easily recycled.

Drinking should be the least of your worries at this time and there are plenty of different drinking cup options to help your little one to keep their fluids up. It’s a beautifully simple open cup, with measurements on the side and with a 50ml capacity. Designed specifically for little hands and to encourage open sipping from the very outset, it can also be used to help establish breastfeeding. Cup feeding is an alternative to bottle feeding if a baby can’t latch to the breast and needs to be given some milk. Whether you've decided that it's time to make the transition from bottles and breastfeeding to a more grown-up beaker or cup, or you've simply decided you want to improve your little one's drinking development and learn how to drink with less mess - it's important to find the right product to make the process as easy as possible.

Sit with them and have a drink yourself, so that they can see that this is an important part of mealtimes.

Otherwise, look for cups that are easy to use (as this is all about giving them independence so think handles, easy-grip and easy drinking design); leak-free and spill-free (especially important for outings); easy to clean; robust; and with no harmful chemicals (such as BPA-free).

They’re made for flip, bite and sip use with a straw, a button-press lid and a valve that delivers a steady flow. Important for active toddlers, they’re supposedly leak proof when closed and spill-proof when open, and our Mumsnetter’s review supports that.

Best For No Mess

Pricey but can replace the spout if needed, rather than the whole thing (just don't lose it, kids!) We’re always fans of a product that does two jobs at once, like this clever little beaker which also functions as a nightlight! Invented by a dad and industrial engineer, the Litecup has a smart, well-thought-through design in a range of colours. It’s a 360-degree free-flow spout to let children sip from any side of the cup; it has easy-to-grab handles; and it boasts a light-up base. Just bear in mind that if you're using the lid for nighttimes, it won’t be completely free-flow.
