Free-Flow Silicone Sippy Cup 150ml — no valve, no sucking Most “non-spill” cups work by putting a valve in the spout. Your baby has to suck to get anything out — which is the same action as a bottle, and the opposite of what this stage is supposed to teach. This cup doesn't do that. The spout has three open holes and no valve of any kind. Tip it, and the water comes through. Your baby learns to sip, which is what drinking from a real cup actually involves. 🧪 Why free-flow matters NHS guidance is clear on this: “Using an open cup or a free-flow cup without a valve will help your baby learn to sip and is better for your baby's teeth.” Childsmile, the NHS Scotland oral health programme, goes further and advises against valve cups altogether. Free-flow cups are genuinely harder to find than you'd expect, because “non-spill” is an easier thing to put on a box. This is the real thing. We've explained the whole picture — when to start, which type when, and how to be off bottles by twelve months — in our guide to sippy cups. 🤚 Made for learning hands Dual handles sized for a secure two-handed grip Non-slip silicone surface for better control Lightweight and balanced for early learners 150ml — the right size for first attempts, not a full drink 🛡️ Safe, soft and built to last 100% food-grade platinum silicone BPA-free, PVC-free, latex-free, phthalate-free and non-toxic Soft and gentle on teething gums Won't crack or shatter like plastic 🧼 Easy to clean Dishwasher safe No valve means no fiddly parts to scrub or lose Resistant to stains and odours 📏 Product details Capacity: 150ml Material: food-grade platinum silicone Spout: free-flow, three holes, no valve Suitable from: 6 months+ Colours: Baby Pink, Baby Blue ❓ Frequently asked questions Will it spill?Yes, if it's tipped over or thrown — and we'd rather tell you that now. A cup that can't spill is a cup with a valve in it, and that's the thing we've deliberately left out.
