If you’re picturing a mini flood when you introduce your baby to a sippy cup, think again. Here are some of the things all parents worry about when it comes to introducing a sippy cup, and the safeguards Philips AVENT have put in place to make sure it all goes smoothly.
You’re probably wishing you’d bought a darker couch to hide those baby spills.
Philips AVENT’s fix: Okay, so baby spills can happen, but there’s no need to worry with Philips AVENT’s sippy cups. Every cup has a leak-proof design to help save your couch from even the messiest drinker.
You may also be wondering how to make the big jump from bottle to cup.
Philips AVENT’s fix: Generally, babies, take around 15 months to complete the transition from bottle to cup, beginning at around 4 months, however, every baby learns at their own pace. Learning new skills can be overwhelming at first, so Philips AVENT has broken the process down for your little one. First, teach your baby to drink with handles using the sippy cup trainer. Then, when your baby is starting on solids, you can help them learn a new skill: drinking from a spout. A spout requires a bit more finesse than a nipple to draw out liquid. It also supports your baby’s transition from a suckling to a sucking drinking motion, which typically happens around the 6-month mark. To support those first sips, Philips AVENT created a soft spout that’s flexible and soft on gums. When your little one starts using their teeth more you can switch to a hard, bite-resistant spout.
You might be just a little worried that you’ll lose cups at the same rate you lose baby socks.
Philips AVENT’s fix: Things have a way of getting left behind, dropped and discarded when they’re in the hands of your little one. Philips AVENT gets it, so they designed their sippy cups with rippled edges and handles, making them easy for your little one to carry when they’re on the go. <image001.png>
