When you are worrying about choosing the right baby cup for your child, a large number of baby cups are added to your shopping cart, and you can't make a decision. Learn the steps to choose a baby cup to find the best baby cup for your baby. This will save you time, money and sanity.
1. DECIDE THE TYPE
Whether it is a spout cup, a spoutless cup, a straw cup or an open cup-in the end you are the one who decides which one to buy. And give it to your child.
Many feeding and speech therapists recommend the use of open cups and straw cups, but open cups can be messier and more difficult to use during the journey. Some straw cups are difficult to clean. I recommend an open cup more than a straw cup. Although the straw cup can guide children to learn to drink milk and water, babies cannot develop their oral motor skills.
The opened cup is not convenient to pick up and move around. You can carry a thermos cup during the journey so that you can pour water into the opened cup when needed.
2. DECIDE ON A MATERIAL
The top choices include stainless steel, glass, silicone, and BPA-free plastics because they can support and do not worry about releasing potentially harmful particles into the liquid in the cup, and they are durable.
The healthiest and most environmentally friendly materials are silicone, stainless steel and glass. Plastic cup without BPA.
BPA-free plastic cups are also a healthy choice, but for environmental reasons, I always prefer non-plastic cups if I can.
Because stainless steel and glass cups are heavier, they are more suitable for older toddlers and children.
3. CONSIDER THE LIFE OF THE CUP
Some stainless steel and glass cups have higher upfront prices, but they can often be used for many years. Chances are, unless you lose it, you will have a stainless steel or glass in your toddler childhood. The life span of the silicone cup is also very long, it can be reused, it is environmentally friendly and easy to clean, and it is not easy to break or break.
