First cup for baby

Start with the right cup size for your baby’s age—options typically include 240 ml, 180 ml, or 300 ml. Look for a Non-Drip design and consider a protective spout that helps prevent spraying when the cup is tilted. Choose safe plastic materials free from ingredients that may trigger allergies, and ideally look for heat resistance and durability during washing. Also check for protective features to help prevent choking or inhalation, and confirm it supports the “learning to drink independently” transition phase from bottle-feeding.

Camera Baby Non-Drip comes in multiple models focusing on leak prevention and easy cleaning. Shalimo is a similar blue-colored version, but it still belongs to the non-drip cup category and offers extra protection for the child when drinking. Both are made of safe, lightweight plastic that’s easy for little hands to hold. Choose the model based on your personal preferences for color and shape, while considering the durability of the materials and ease of cleaning.

Philips Avent SCF798/01 cup is designed for children aged 12 months and above. It includes a foldable straw and an anti-spill connector, with a design that helps your child drink independently while reducing the chances of drooling or leaking. Another suitable option is Camera Baby Non-Drip; however, SCF798/01 adds a continuity-in-drinking feature with easy-to-grip handles and safe materials suitable for older children.

Start by washing your hands before handling the cup. Then wash it with warm water and soap, and rinse thoroughly. Some models can also be cleaned by connecting parts in the dishwasher or by boiling for sanitizing, following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Make sure it’s fully dry before reassembling. With fewer parts, disassembly is easier, and it helps keep the cup clean and safe for your baby.

Some types, like the Philips Avent SCF798/01 cup, support healthy development of mouth position and oral muscles through a comfortable straw and design lines that encourage your child to breathe correctly through the mouth while drinking. A comfortable, well-designed cup helps your baby gradually get used to independent drinking and strengthens the muscles around the mouth, while reducing critical changes during the transition from bottle feeding.

Yes—many of these cups are made from safe plastic and are free from harmful materials, including options that are BPA-free and avoid ingredients that may cause irritation. Some models, like the child cup, state that they’re free from harmful substances and provide extra protection while drinking, supporting a safe and clean experience even when you’re on the go.
