It's time to get your little one onto using a cup! Offering water during mealtimes is a great way to avoid indigestion or, worse, constipation. If your baby can confidently handle a straw, we recommend the B.Box sippy cup.

The first thing to remember is that every mother is built beautifully different so, just like shoes, what someone else likes, prefers, or fits, might not be best for you.
