I hate sippy cups. I use them until the children are a little over one.....at that time, when they want water they come to me and ask and we stand together in the kitchen with a regular cup, partially filled with water and that is how they learn to drink from the regular cup, once they get the hang of it, they start getting the regular cup at the table for all of their drinks. I never have ever given a sippy cup to a child over the age of two, and usually they are much younger.

I also don't leave any cups out. If they want a drink, they let me know, and then of course I always give them all a drink after outdoor play and frequently throughout the day if they aren't asking.

I see no reason, other than laziness and not wanting to clean up spilled milk, for sippy cups past the age of two.
