What is the recommended beginning age for this sippy?

I purchased it for my grand daughter who was almost 2 at the time. It became her favorite sippy and has held up well for over a year. So well in fact, I purchased another one for Christmas this last year.

It depends....my pediatrician recommended starting my son on sippy cups by his 1st birthday. I started with the sippy part and after 3 days he got it so I moved to the straw and thst only took him one day. However, this cup is horrible for the straw...yes it taught my son howto use it but the pressure bbuild-up made the milk always come up the straw and pour out all over the place. I recommend Munchkin click and lock cups, theyv have a straw cup to and no matter how many times it gets dropped it never leaks! Hope this helps.

My son has not used the sippy cup tops yet, we're still pretty much breastfed only. Sorry of little help.

I started my 6 month old on these instead of sippy cups - he can't do it yet himself obviously, but I feel very comfortable with him with these cups and he drinks well from them - my daughter was using these at 13 months (didn't have them prior)

Depends on the age of your child. We used this exclusively until about 5.5 months when our daughter starter to sit up. It is not that tall and with movement (rolling etc) it is not as sturdy as a pack and play. After that time we just switched over and gave ours to a friend to use.

Oh, actually I'm not sure.. My daughter is 2-year-old. And she is using it as water cup in daycare. Hope it helps :)

My child started using this cup at 13 mos. old and he took to it very easily.

No. Recommend age is 4 months I think, but we started at 3 since my girl had good head control a little earlier than that.

We started using this size around 15 mos when my little guy needed a larger cup, prior to that we started using the smaller version at 12 months when it was time to take the bottles away. Love these because they truly don't leak at all and they are easy for little hands to hold.

The straw comes with all the safe sippy 2 cups but can be removed if not needed. My daughter is 19months and still doesn't use it so we're just saving it. The spout is hard on all the cups and can not be changed, it's part of the construction. I wouldn't recommend giving this cup to a 6 month old. Our daughter started using this cup at 10 months and by 11 months she was only using the cup. She caught on pretty quick so maybe just wait a bit, 6 months is kind of young for any cup.

Hi , it's recommended for babies from preemie up to six months of age, 25 pounds or to when the baby can sit up or crawl; whatever comes first. However , we used up until 8 months with our child .

I think the minimum recommended age is one year old. With that being said I think 7 months might be a bit too young. However we bought this for our 10 month old daughter and she did just fine, but she met most developmental milestones on the early side. As a recommendation, I'd advise waiting a few months,but check the recommended age by the manufacturer.

I would say 4 - 12 month olds. My son started at 4 months and loves it still at 8 months. Due to height restrictions it probably wouldn't fit any older than a 1 year old.

You actually don't want a sippy that would be very hard for a baby/ or child to get liquids from. The mouth does not need to learn to suck and this can be detrimental, if it's always the way he/ she is drinking. There is current research on this but it's a newer finding in the last couple of years. There are speech problems from them and palette formation issues. Experts now suggest they only be used during a transition period between bottle and cup. It may be worth it to keep those kids carpets around until they're old enough to use cups without frequent spills.

I used 8 as the recommended milk is usually 30 oz. once they start solids you decrease that slowly as they eat more food. I never gave more than 4oz until my daughter was about a year old. That is also the recommended stopping time for bottles. We went to a larger sippy at that time.

Its supposed to be for any age. However after a few months it does get tiring to wash all its parts, so I would suggest 4 months max. It is a great product after the baby learns how to use it and I think it is also good for them to work in their patience as it is a lot harder to use than a conventional nipple.

I start giving it to my baby at 4th month to feed her water and juice. She is now 13 months old and still using it :)

I think you can. Probably she may not be able to do it right till a little older. But it can be used as starter cup. Great for learning. My girl started at about 1 year plus. I think you can start at any age depending on what makes you comfortable.
