360° baby training cup – Ergonomic leak-proof cup for independent drinking

Description

The 360° baby training cup: the independence revolution

The key stage in moving from a bottle to a cup

Around 6 to 9 months, baby wants to start drinking «like the big kids». But between the bottle (which they have mastered) and the standard glass (which they knock over every time), there is a missing transition step. The 360-degree training cup meets this exact need: an object that mimics the feel of real glass, but without the risk of disaster every time you use it.

How does the 360° system work?

Unlike training cups or straw cups, this beaker allows baby to drink all the way round, exactly like a conventional cup. The secret: a flexible silicone valve that opens only when the baby's lips apply pressure. When the cup is put down or knocked over, the valve closes automatically — not a single drop escapes.

This technology has two major advantages:

• Baby is learning the right way right from the start — no mouthpiece that alters mouth posture
• No spill you can leave the glass on the table without worry

3 colours to suit all tastes

Choose the colour that will appeal to baby

Our training cup comes in 3 soft colours designed to blend into any kitchen and nursery decor:

• Blue — a comforting classic that appeals to children and adults alike
• Green — a fresh, natural tone, perfect for a modern kitchen
• Pink — soft and luminous, elegant for any mood

Please note: no colour is reserved for any gender. A little boy will love soft pink, a little girl might fall for deep blue. Choose according to baby's tastes or your kitchen decor.

Why favour this system?

A natural transition to traditional glass

Paediatricians recommend limiting bottle use after 12–18 months to prevent dental problems (early childhood caries) and encourage proper jaw development. But switching abruptly to a standard glass can be frustrating for a baby — who spills, gets wet, and ends up refusing to drink independently.

The 360° cup provides this ideal transition: baby learns the exact posture of a «big cup», but without the frustration of spills. After a few months of use, they will be ready to move on to a traditional cup almost effortlessly.

Advantages compared to other systems

To help you compare with the other sippy cups on the market:

• sippy cup The 360° cup better prepares for the posture of a traditional glass. The spout ultimately delays the transition to a normal glass.
• vs sippy cup The straw is useful, but it doesn't replicate the action of drinking from a cup. Combine it with a 360° cup to vary the learning experience.
• vs Standard glass too early, the traditional cup causes a lot of spills and frustration. The 360° is an ideal stepping stone.

📋 Features

When and how should this glass be introduced?

The step-by-step introduction

• At 6 months offer the glass filled with water or milk at room temperature at the end of the meal. Baby observes, handles it, and sometimes doesn't drink — this is normal at first.
• At 9 months old baby is starting to understand the mechanism. He sucks, he smiles, he discovers that it works. Encourage without forcing.
• At 12 months : autonomous use most of the time. The cup becomes an object of pride for baby who «drinks like a big boy/girl».
• At 18-24 months progressive transition to standard glass, with the 360° lens as a backup for travel.

Tips for first use

• Start with some’still water at room temperature — fewer risks of sensory surprises
• Sit baby upright in their high chair during the first attempts
• Show him by drinking yourself — imitation is his best learning tool at this age
• Never force it — if baby refuses today, try again in 1-2 weeks
• Wash the valve separately after each use to prevent milk residue
