What kind of cup does the baby use to drink water?

Patient's question:

It feels like the baby doesn't like drinking/water with a nipple, what kind of cup should I use for a 8.5-month-old baby (using a bottle isn't good, right)? Can the bottle be used all the time? Should it be replaced as frequently as a nipple, like every certain amount of time? What kind of assistance would you like: please give me a few pointers

Doctor's answer:

5-year-old soft mouth drinking cup. After one year, babies can start trying to use formal cups. At first, they may not be able to control the force of pouring and may not be able to master the ability to "drink" in a few sips. To prevent the baby's soft lips from being injured and to avoid spilling the contents everywhere, mothers should choose a soft mouth drinking cup and pay close attention to leak prevention. Magic cups or "no-drip" cups are quite good.
1. 5-2 year old baby straw cup. Since babies dislike biting the straw, it is best to start with a soft straw cup. When buying, it is best to pay attention to choosing safe and non-toxic materials that can be sterilized at high temperatures.
2. After the age of 2, any cup that can be sterilized.
