Check with peads or SLT but generally a simple open cup with handles helps. Doesn't impact speech in the long run. From SolidStarts https://solidstarts.com/cup-drinking/ 'Like most feeding therapists and swallowing specialists, we strongly recommend using open cups and straw cups rather than sippy or 360 cups. Why? Because drinking from an open cup or a straw are lifelong skills—your baby will use both of these skills later on. To the contrary, sippy cups and 360 cups are only for babies/toddlers, so your baby will learn a skill that will be discarded after a few months. And despite advertising claims, both sippy cups and 360 cups encourage a way of drinking that is not ideal for your baby’s oral-motor skills development.' But this is not SG based so again check with our doctors if practices are in line. Cheers

Around six or seventh months just little sips of water. also baby kidneys cannot take alot of water so check the volume per day if u are giving water. If not milk should be fine.

I use sippy cup with weighted ball
