arinih aku tertarik ngan satu artikel dari babycenter.com...

It's not too early to introduce a cup to your baby. Many babies can take their first sips as early as 4 or 5 months and are ready to handle a cup sometime between 6 and 12 months.

Try piquing your baby's interest in a cup by buying one with a bright color or appealing picture on it. A sippy cup, which has a top with a spout, is often easier for a baby to use, and spill proof types are great at preventing messes. A cup with a straw is also a good learning tool, although it's slightly more difficult to clean. Choose a cup with handles on the sides as a starter model, since it will be easier for your baby to hold. And, of course, any cup you use ought to be unbreakable -- you can count on it being flung to the ground often.

Introduce a cup gradually, perhaps during one feeding a day at first. Securely holding your baby upright, bring the cup to his mouth and tilt it just a little. Be patient, as your baby will likely make a mess as he practices lapping and then drinking.

If your baby seems to have trouble with the cup or rejects the first cup you try, consider a different type or brand. Some spill proof sippy cups have a valve that works almost too well, making it hard to get the liquid out. (Tip: You can fix this problem by removing the valve.) Your baby may find a cup with a nipple-like spout easier or more appealing. Because sipping is different from sucking, some parents find it easiest to start with a lidless cup, tilting it to the baby's mouth, until he gets the idea that this is a new way of feeding.
