How old should your baby be to use a training cup?

For babies of different age groups, training cups are available in different capacities. Parents can choose the cup according to the baby's situation, which is the biggest feature of training cups. In addition, most parents will let their babies learn to use training cups when their babies are six months old. So why should they let their babies learn to use training cups at this time?

Normally, when the baby is 4 months old, for the baby's health, the baby should learn to use a training cup. The training cup can promote the baby's brain and intellectual development, and can also promote the baby's coordination ability between left and right hands. At the same time, the training cup can also provide the baby with sufficient drinking water, making the baby smarter. On the other hand, it also allows the baby's parents to understand the amount of water the baby drinks.

Common types of training cups on the market include pacifier type, duckbill type and straw type. The pacifier-shaped training cup is designed with a lid, and the lid is designed with a drinking spout and a straw to reduce the baby's rejection. At the same time, the cup ring is designed with a handle so that the baby can hold the handle and train the baby to drink beverages other than milk.

The duckbill type is suitable for babies around 6 months old. The duckbill training cup has a relatively wide mouth, which not only helps stabilize the upper and lower jaws in the mouth. In addition, the inside of the mouthpiece is designed to be mesh-shaped, making it difficult for liquid to flow out from around the mouth.

The straw-type training cup is suitable for babies six or seven months old. The suction mouth is relatively narrow, which requires the baby's lips to have more self-control ability, otherwise the liquid will easily flow out. This is also to train the baby's drinking ability.
