A first cup should be comfortable to hold and easy to clean. Its shape and drinking mechanism matter more than choosing the largest size.<\/p>\n

Three options in the Britton range<\/h2>\n

Britton First Cup, 200 ml<\/a> holds 200 ml and is described as free-flow. Britton soft-spout cup, 150 ml<\/a> holds 150 ml and has a soft silicone spout. Britton straw cup, 270 ml<\/a> holds 270 ml and has a covered silicone straw. Choose with your child’s current skills in mind; these are different ways of drinking, not compulsory steps that every child must follow.<\/p>\n

Start with a little practice<\/h2>\n

Offer a small amount and help your child hold the cup. There is no need to fill it to the top. For learning to sip, NHS guidance favors an open cup or a free-flow cup without a valve from around six months. Check the actual mechanism; a product called a first cup is not automatically valve-free.<\/p>\n

Make cleaning part of the choice<\/h2>\n

Look at how the lid, straw or spout comes apart. Choose a design you can wash thoroughly after use. Britton Britton replacement straws, 2 pieces<\/a> and Britton replacement spouts, 2 pieces<\/a> are replacement products for compatible cups; confirm the exact fit before buying.<\/p>\n

Read the age label correctly<\/h2>\n

A 4m+ product label is not advice to start solids or offer extra water at four months. Follow feeding guidance appropriate for your child. Supervise drinking and replace damaged parts.<\/p>\n
