Types of Baby Sippers & Sippy Cups

Straw sippers allow children to drink through a straw and can be useful as they become comfortable with this drinking style. Babyhug offers standard and weighted straw sippers in different capacities.

The Babyhug Weighted Straw Sipper range includes a 360 ml option, while the Babyhug collection also includes larger straw sippers for toddlers and older children.

Best Sippers & Sippy Cups for Different Needs

How to Choose the Best Sipper for Your Baby

• Consider the age range: Check the product's recommended age before choosing a sipper or training cup.
• Choose the drinking style: Decide whether your child is more comfortable with a straw, spout or 360° drinking edge.
• Look for handles: Twin handles can make gripping easier for younger children learning to drink independently.
• Check the capacity: Smaller cups may be convenient for younger children, while older kids may prefer larger water bottles.
• Consider the material: Compare plastic, silicone and stainless steel based on your child's routine and your cleaning preferences.
• Check the lid: A hygienic or protective lid can help keep the drinking area covered between uses.
• Think about travel: For school, outings and travel, consider a lightweight, insulated or strap-equipped design.
• Check cleaning requirements: Look for removable straws, valves and other components that can be cleaned properly.

Straw Sipper vs Spout Sipper vs 360° Sippy Cup

Baby Sippers for Different Ages

Sippers for 6 Months+

At around the time complementary feeding begins, some babies may start practising drinking from a cup. Products specifically listed for 6 months+, such as the Babyhug 360° Spill-Proof Training Sipper Cup, can be considered based on the child's readiness.

Sippers for 9 to 12 Months

As babies become more comfortable holding objects and drinking, parents can consider sippers with handles, straws or spouts according to the child's preference and developmental stage.

Sippers for Toddlers

Toddlers may need larger capacities and designs that are convenient for independent drinking. Straw sippers and insulated cups can be useful for home, travel and outdoor activities.

Sippers for Older Kids

Older children may prefer larger water bottles that are easier to carry to school, activities or outings. Options with carrying straps can be convenient when children need to carry their own bottles.

Spill-Proof vs Leak-Resistant Sippers

Terms such as spill-proof, leak-proof and leak-resistant describe specific product designs and should be understood according to the individual product's construction. A sipper may reduce spills during normal use, but no drinking cup should be treated as completely spill-proof in every situation.

For example, the Babyhug 360° Spill Proof Training Sipper Cup is best with a hygienic lid, auto-seal design and twin handles.

Baby Sippers for Travel & School

For travel and school, consider a bottle that is easy for your child to carry and comfortable to drink from. Capacity, weight, carrying straps, insulation and the type of drinking mechanism can all influence the choice.

The Babyhug Round Straw Sipper with Carrying Strap has a 410 ml capacity and carrying strap, while the collection also includes insulated cups for children who need a bottle for outings.

How to Clean Baby Sippers

Clean sippers after every use and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific cup. Disassemble removable parts such as straws, valves, spouts and lids where applicable, and clean each part thoroughly.

Allow all components to dry completely before reassembling and storing the cup. Narrow straws and valves may require dedicated cleaning brushes to remove residue.

When to Replace a Baby Sipper

Inspect the cup, straw, spout, silicone seal and lid regularly. Replace components or the complete sipper when you notice cracks, tears, damaged seals, persistent odour, deformation or other signs of wear that affect the product's intended use.
