I need to stop breastfeeding my ds2. The only cup ds1 would ever take was the straw cup so I was wondering if there was an age considered safe to introduce one.

Why wouldn't they be safe at any age?

DD uses one. She's 9 months, if it helps.

It's this one:

The cups are safety tested based on their age range. I've seen straw cups in the US rated for as young as 4m+. In Europe, EN14350 warns against straw cups for younger than 6m+. Use a cup that has been safety tested and don't go below the age range guidance on the package.
