Sippy cup

The sippy cup, training cup or beaker is a modern drinking cup designed for toddlers that prevents or reduces spills. Sippy cups, as opposed to an open cup, have a top that prevents spills, and the child drinks through a spout. Some sippy cups work by way of surface tension that prevents liquid from being spilled even when the cup is upended, and others have valves.

A sippy cup is typically an intermediary between the transition between the bottle or breast to a straw cup or open cup; however, some recommend skipping the sippy cup and transitioning directly to a straw cup or open cup.
