What is a "sippy cup"?

A sippy cup is a spill-proof drinking container designed for infants and young children transitioning from bottles or breastfeeding to independent drinking. It features a lid with a spout or straw that allows controlled flow of liquids, reducing spills and messes. Sippy cups promote self-feeding skills and help toddlers learn to drink from a cup without assistance. They provide a hygienic and convenient way for children to stay hydrated, encouraging proper hydration and oral development. Sippy cups foster independence, minimize spills, and allow for easy handling and sipping, supporting the transition from bottle to cup.
