Is it okay for my child to use a sippy cup?
Sippy cup or nursing bottle mouth (early childhood caries) is caused by frequent and prolonged exposure to liquids containing sugars (milk, formula, fruit juice, sports drinks, soda pop) and can rapidly destroy your child’s teeth if not caught in time. Never put your child to sleep with a bottle or sippy cup. Encourage your child to drink from an open cup as early as his/her first birthday.
