Hello deae, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your question and here is my advice.
I don't think that ingestion of plastic cup once can harm baby since it doesn't get absorbed in blood.
Some particles may be absorbed but if it happens only once it doesn't cause harm due to short time of exposure.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
