Product Information

Learning to drink from a straw is an important developmental milestone that develops lip rounding and promotes speech development. I like the fact that it’s sturdy at the base but flexible on the rim so it doesn’t damage her teeth.

Change up the ratio over a few days (or weeks, following your toddler’s lead) by a ½ ounce until your toddler is able to drink 4oz of milk at a sitting. Since the Mini Cup has similar features to the Tiny Cup, this helps your toddler meet this developmental stage. I usually fill the Mini cup with 3 ½ oz of water (or milk) at meals and will give them more (if requested) after mealtime. Mini Cup + Straw Training System: The second cup in the Developmental Cup Set is the 4oz Mini Cup + Straw Training System.

Milestone: The Mini Straw Cup helps to support the toddler swallowing milestone, which is: a toddler can drink from a straw cup independently around 15 months of age. The ezpz Developmental Cup Set was designed to support each of these drinking phases so that little ones can safely meet key developmental milestones. Here is some additional information to guide you through each of the cups in the set so your baby can obtain their drinking and swallowing milestones.

Your baby has learned a mature swallow pattern (just like the way you and I swallow), which doesn’t develop when drinking from a bottle or Sippy cup.

They've also made the commitment to reduce use of domestic air freight and using rail instead to get parcels round the country. The ezpz Developmental Cup Set makes it easy for parents to select a cup based on their child’s specific age and stage.Milestone: The Tiny Cup helps to support the infant swallowing milestone, which is: baby can drink from an open cup (held by an adult) at 4-6 months of age.

It also provides parents with tips for teaching their child how to drink successfully from an open cup and safely use a straw. She has 28 years of experience teaching parents and medical professionals how to start babies on solids safely and encourage toddlers to overcome picky eating tendencies.

Sensory: The cup is weighted to provide sensory input to help the baby hold the cup and decrease spills. Have your little one practice their spoon scooping skills with these thicker and more challenging textures. Age Range: Between 4-6 months start open cup drinking (breastmilk / formula) by holding the cup for your baby. The larger cup is critical as older toddlers / preschoolers are consuming more liquids during snack + mealtime. Open cup drinking supports healthy oral and speech development, aids with teething, helps baby learn to have a strong swallow and may help to prevent tooth decay.

I exclusively nurse so I would love to bypass the bottle/sippy cup stage and introduce my 6 month old daughter to cups immediately. Whole Milk: At around 12 months of age most parents decide to add whole milk (or nut milk) into their toddler’s diet.
