Quick answer: the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggests offering a cup around 6 months, when solids start, and completing the move from bottle to cup between 12 and 18 months. At Dr. Brown's, the 180 mL soft-spout transition cup (6 months+) makes the switch gentle, the spoutless 200 mL Cheers360 cup (6 months+) teaches drinking from the rim like a glass, and the 300 mL insulated straw cup (12 months+) takes over for outings. Suction bowls, soft-tip spoons and the Travel Fresh set complete the kit for first meals.
When should you move from bottle to cup?
According to the AAP, the transition begins around 6 months, as your baby starts first foods, and ideally ends between 12 and 18 months; by about 2 years, children drink from an open cup. WHO recommends starting complementary foods at 6 months, in small amounts, while breastfeeding continues.
What goes in the cup? According to the AAP, between 6 and 12 months a little water (about 4 to 8 oz, 120 to 240 mL, a day) can be offered in an open, spouted or straw cup: it builds cup-drinking skills and familiarity with water. Milk (breast milk or formula) remains the main drink, and the AAP advises no fruit juice before age 1.
In Morocco, summer brings the topic up quickly: once your baby eats solids and the weather is hot, regularly offering a few sips of water from a cup becomes a useful habit. Always ask your paediatrician what suits your child, especially if they were born prematurely or have specific follow-up.
Dr. Brown's cups: which model at which age?
Step 1: the 180 mL soft-spout transition cup (6 months+)
The Dr. Brown's soft-spout transition cup with handles, 180 mL 129 DHSee price / Order (also in blue 129 DHSee price / Order) is designed for moving from bottle to cup: a soft one-piece silicone spout, handles and a contoured shape for small hands, a fold-back lid that keeps the spout clean and a one-piece valve that is easy to clean. According to Dr. Brown's, it suits babies from 6 months, is BPA-free and top-rack dishwasher safe. It is the ideal first cup for a baby still very attached to the nipple.
Step 2: the spoutless Cheers360 cup, 200 mL (6 months+)
The Cheers360 cup with handles, 200 mL 167 DHSee price / Order has no spout: children drink from any point around the rim, 360°, just like a glass. A clear silicone valve limits spills and, according to Dr. Brown's, can be removed as skills improve to turn it into an open cup. Easy-grip side handles, a travel lid, BPA-free, top-rack dishwasher safe. It comes in several colours, including the Cheers360 pink deco 167 DHSee price / Order. It is the closest thing to a "real glass" and the best preparation for the open cup expected around age 2.
The 270 mL soft-spout cup
The Dr. Brown's soft-spout sippy cup 270 mL, pears design 149 DHSee price / Order has a soft, bite-resistant silicone spout, side-grip handles and a spill-proof snap lid covering the spout. Larger, it suits children who already drink well; check the age stated on the packaging.
Step 3: the 300 mL insulated straw cup (12 months+)
The Dr. Brown's insulated straw cup, 300 mL 157 DHSee price / Order has double-wall insulation, a straw with a spill-resistant valve and a bite-resistant mouthpiece, removable handles, and is BPA-free and top-rack dishwasher safe. Handy at the park, on the beach or in the car, when water needs to stay cool for longer.

Dr. Brown's tableware for weaning
Suction bowls and soft-tip spoons
The Dr. Brown's no-slip suction bowls 130 DHSee price / Order (2-pack) stick to the table or high-chair tray: according to the brand, the suction base resists grabbing, pushing and pulling, and the tall, rounded sides help little ones fill their spoon themselves. A quick-release tab lifts them off easily. The soft-tip spoons 71 DHSee price / Order have a soft tip for sensitive gums, especially when teeth are coming through, a long handle that reaches the bottom of jars and a shallow bowl.
Travel Fresh: the meal that travels
The Travel Fresh bowl and spoon 203 DHSee price / Order combines a bowl with two separate compartments and a lid, plus a soft-tip spoon that clips onto the bowl. Ideal for nursery, the nanny or lunch at the grandparents'.
Fresh Firsts: the silicone feeder
The Fresh Firsts feeder 119 DHSee price / Order is not a pacifier: it is a mesh-free silicone feeder with tiny holes, filled with pieces of fresh fruit or frozen treats. The silicone is soft yet bite-resistant, the handle lightweight, and it is top-rack dishwasher and sterilizer safe. Always stay with your child while they use it.
Gripebelt: tummy comfort after meals
The Dr. Brown's Gripebelt 279 DHSee price / Order is a soft hook-and-loop belt that wraps around your baby's tummy and holds a microwaveable gel pack: it provides gentle warmth and light compression, with no medication. It is suitable from birth according to the manufacturer, and the cover is machine washable. It is a comfort accessory: heat the gel pack strictly as instructed, check the temperature before use, and talk to your paediatrician if crying worries you.
Day to day in Morocco: heat, outings and Ramadan
- Heat: in summer, keep a cup of water within reach once your baby eats solids; the insulated cup keeps water cool for longer on walks.
- Family meals: during Ramadan, ftour often brings the whole family together; seated at the table with a suction bowl and spoon, your baby joins in without tipping the plate over.
- Nursery and working mums: a Cheers360 and a Travel Fresh labelled with your child's name make the day at the nanny's simpler.
- Hygiene: take valves and spouts apart after each use and wash them in hot soapy water; compatible parts can go in the sterilizer (see our Dr. Brown's sterilizer and dryer guide).
- Bedtime bottle: the bedtime feed or bottle is often the last to go; phase it out gradually.
- Teeth: avoid letting your child fall asleep with a cup of milk; brush first teeth morning and night (see our Dr. Brown's teething and toothbrush guide).
If your baby still mainly drinks from a bottle, our Dr. Brown's anti-colic bottle guide explains nipple levels up to the transition.
