You can give your baby a sipper - when your baby is ready for a sipper. And that would mostly be when your baby has learnt to sit independently (roughly anytime after 8-9 months)
It totally depends on your child. If your baby is bottle-fed, it would take a while before accepting a sipper.
However, if your baby is not bottle-fed, transition to a sipper should not be very difficult. But just remember to take it one day at a time - The first day it could be just a couple of sips - you need to be patient.
TIP: You can try giving your baby what the baby likes most. For example: if the baby likes fruit juices, try giving fruit juice in the sipper.
