When should our LOs use a cup?

Just wondering when you did/will introduce a cup to your LO.

Will you put anything in it at first or just practice holding?

When you do put something in it, what will it be?

    I *think* you can introduce water in a sippy cup at 6 months.

    Our pediatrician said to introduce a regular cup with a little bit of water or breast milk around 5 months. I plan on using these: https://www.amazon.com/Beaba-Toddler-Soft-Cup-Slip-Resistant/dp/B0034JBR7E

    Was told by a nurse to start little one on sippy cup at 6 months with water in it.  She said that most of it gets on their clothes anyway, so water is the best choice.  She also said it is 6 months because it helps train them for solids, so if you start solids earlier, i suppose 5 months would be fine too, as long as they can hold the cup.

    I bought a training bottle from Nuby that has three lids,  there is a suction controlled nipple, a no leak sippy, and a no-leak straw.  It works awesome!

    *edit* https://www.nuby.com/en/nuby/bottle-feeding/4373 there is the link to the cup we use!  It also has nubs on it for teething!
