Product Information
Full details
The Dr. Brown's Milestones Soft Spout Transition Cup is designed for babies 9 months and older, offering a soft, spill-proof silicone spout to ease the transition from bottle to cup. Its key benefit lies in its adaptable design, featuring lockable handles and a contoured shape for easy grip, which can later be removed to mimic a standard cup. A potential caveat is that the soft spout, while gentle, may require a different drinking technique than harder spouted cups.

FAQs
What age is this cup recommended for?
This cup is recommended for babies aged 9 months and older.
Is the spout truly spill-proof?
The cup features a soft, one-piece silicone spout designed for spill-proof learning. However, like most sippy cups, vigorous shaking or dropping might result in some minor leakage.
Can I remove the handles?
Yes, the handles are designed to be removable. As your child gets older and more adept at holding cups, you can detach the handles to transition them to holding a cup more independently.
How do I clean the silicone spout?
The entire cup, including the silicone spout, is dishwasher safe (top rack). For manual cleaning, wash in warm, soapy water and use a soft brush to ensure the valve inside the spout is clean. Allow to air dry completely.
Is the cup BPA-free?
Yes, the Dr. Brown's Milestones Soft Spout Transition Cup is BPA-free.
Can I use this cup for warm liquids?
This transition cup is designed for cold or room temperature liquids. It is not intended for hot liquids.
What is the capacity of the cup?
The Dr. Brown's Milestones Soft Spout Transition Cup has a capacity of 9 ounces (approximately 266 ml).
Troubleshooting
Cup is leaking
Ensure the silicone spout is properly seated in the lid and the lid is screwed on tightly to the cup base. Check for any damage to the spout or seal.
Baby is having trouble drinking
The soft spout may require a slightly different sucking technique than a bottle. Ensure the lid is not overtightened, which can affect airflow. Try tilting the cup slightly.
Spout appears to be blocked
Disassemble and thoroughly clean the one-piece silicone spout, paying attention to the valve area. Ensure no milk or residue is lodged within the spout's opening.
Handles are loose or wobbly
Ensure the handles are correctly attached to the cup base. They should click or lock firmly into place. If they continue to be loose, check for any manufacturing defects.
