A. Give your baby a small, plastic, non-breakable cup that’s easy to grip and hold. Let your baby play with the cup first so that they get used to the way it feels. The first few times your baby uses the cup, guide them by holding the cup too. Put only a small amount of liquid in the cup at first. This helps to reduce spills. Increase the amount of liquid as your baby gets better at drinking.
