Product Description
Benefits of Open Cup
When your baby starts transitioning from milk to solids, your baby will also need to learn to drink from a cup. You can offer water, expressed breast milk, or formula in the cup. The child must continue to be breastfed or have formula up to 12 months of age. And water should not replace breastmilk or formula or be given before 6 months!
Washing instructions
The cups and lids are easy to clean. They can either be washed in warm water with soap or in the dishwasher. (NB the lids must not be microwaved heated)
Practice oral-motor skills
To prepare for talking, babies need to learn how to elevate their tongue tip while also needing strong and flexible lips, tongue, jaw, and cheek muscles. Open cups promote these oral motor skills.With a sippy cup, the childβs tongue is protruded and placed under the sippy spout not allowing the tongue tip to elevate. This is a very similar tongue position and muscle movement as when drinking from a bottle or the breast. Thus, a sippy cup does not encourage new muscle development in the mouth. Prolonged use of the sippy cup has been shown to delay oral motor development and impact speech development.
Practice swallowing skills
We are all born with what is known as an βimmature swallowβ which is the normal, healthy swallowing pattern for infants and the way babies suck out the milk from the breast or bottle. During breastfeeding and bottle feeding the tongue lies on the bottom of the mouth with the tip forward over the lower gum. This is also the way children swallow when using a sippy cup.
In a mature swallow, the tip of the tongue presses firmly against the roof of the mouth slightly behind the front teeth, and the rest of the tongue is pulled up into the palate. The lips should be closed slightly touching the front teeth. This movement occurs when drinking from an open cup.
The BIBS baby cup is an open cup specifically designed for small baby mouths and hands. The cup has a soft drinking rim that is gentle against the childβs gums and that is curved slightly outwards, which is crucial for correct placement of the lips and safe swallowing.
Practice fine motor skills
When small children use an open cup, they are stimulating their fine motor skills development and their hand-eye coordination.
BIBS open cup has a non-slip and ergonomic form for the best possible grip for children. But as with all things new, expect lots of water to end up on the table or floor as your child explores a cup.
