Details
- Open cup drinking supports the development of a mature swallow
- It helps strengthen the muscles of the mouth that support speech
- It promotes sipping rather than sucking which is good for jaw development
- It prevents liquids from pooling around the upper front teeth
- It develops their fine and gross motor skills
From starting solids and beyond. Try introducing the cup into your little one's hands from age 4 months onwards.
Can older children use them?
Yes. They fit in a lot of liquid, they're smash proof and they're comfy to drink from.
How can I teach my baby to drink from an open cup?
Help them in the beginning by letting them close their lips around the rim and then gently tipping it for them. When they're more familiar, try placing the cup in one of their hands, the other will likely naturally grasp the cup too and then you can gently help them tip it back whilst they're holding it. With practice at every mealtime, they'll soon learn how to grasp, pick up and sip from an open cup independently.
How can I clean my silicone?
Everything goes in the dishwasher or some warm soapy water will do the job. You can also bake them! More about that here.
When you use silicone, you’re saving the planet by choosing products that are made from natural materials (did you know it’s made from sand?!) so ka pai!
Please note - colours can vary depending on your screen settings.
