Doidy Cup: The Original Training Cup for Independent Drinking
First designed in 1950 by a parent, the Doidy Cup was created to teach children how to drink properly and independently. Recommended by dentists and speech therapists, it is widely recognised by NHS trusts, charities, and councils as the ideal cup for children. Its free-flow functionality supports natural sipping motions, while the open cup and slanted design help children see the liquid level, improving hand-eye coordination and building confidence. Suitable for babies aged 3 months and older, the Doidy Cup supports the journey toward independent drinking. While its primary focus is on teaching proper drinking techniques, it also aids in transitioning from breastfeeding or bottle-feeding.
Why Choose the Doidy Cup?
- Free-Flow Design: Recommended for Development
The Doidy Cup’s free-flow functionality is recommended by dentists and speech therapists. It allows liquid to flow naturally, encouraging sipping motions that support healthy oral development and help protect teeth.
- Open Design: Easier Transition from Breastfeeding
The open design lets children see the liquid level, helping them train their hand-eye coordination while learning to drink properly. Unlike bottles or sippy cups, it mimics the natural sipping motion, boosting confidence and preparing children to drink independently—a key NHS milestone by 12 months.
- Child-Friendly Features
Thoughtfully designed with two easy-grip handles, the Doidy Cup is ideal for little hands, making it simple for children to lift and control. Its slanted shape ensures drinking is intuitive and frustration-free for beginners.
- Simple to Clean and Use
With no extra parts, the Doidy Cup is hassle-free for busy parents. It’s dishwasher-safe (top shelf), microwave-safe, and travel-friendly for easy use at home or on the go.
- Safe and High-Quality Materials
Made from BPA-free, food-grade polypropylene, the Doidy Cup complies with BS EN 14350:2020 standards for safety and durability, giving parents peace of mind.
How to Use
- Wash the Doidy Cup before the first use.
- Pour a small amount of liquid into the cup. Gently place the rim on the baby’s lower lip to let them sip.
- As your child grows, encourage them to hold the cup handles and drink independently. Spills may occur but are part of the learning process.
Warnings and Precautions
- Always supervise your child while feeding or drinking.
- Check the temperature of liquids before serving.
- Never leave a child unattended during feeding.
- Discard at the first signs of damage or wear.

To say this item was life changing sounds like an exaggeration but it’s true!
My baby has refused a bottle since day one but we tried this cup on the recommendation of a friend and it’s brilliant. She drank every drop of expressed milk meaning that I’ve had a lot more freedom and she can now be left for longer periods with her dad or grandparents.
It’s also been great for weaning and teaching her how to sip. She can now drink from any open cup and she’s only six months.
I would give this product six stars if I could! Amazing

I have the old doidy cup from 4 years ago from my previous child so my baby drink from that and the most recent one. The design is much better and I’ve noticed a difference that my baby drinks more our of the new design. The handles are longer, the mouth part has a rounded edge which I’m guessing if more comfortable in gums and the tip drinking part is slightly wider than the predecessor.
