What does "BPA-Free" mean for this product?

How do I clean the cup thoroughly?

Troubleshooting

Baby is resistant to using the cup.

Try offering water or a familiar liquid. Ensure the spout is clean and free of obstructions. Introduce the cup gradually alongside bottle feeding.

Cup is leaking.

Check that the lid is securely fastened. Ensure the spout is properly seated and not damaged. Note that the cup is designed to be spill-resistant, not completely leak-proof.

Baby is having difficulty sucking liquid.

Ensure the spout is not blocked. For new users, gently tilting the cup can help initiate flow. Confirm the baby is old enough and ready for this type of cup.
