There are generally three kinds of learning cups: duckbill type, straw type and direct drinking type.

The order of changing cups for the baby is: bottle-duckbill cup (soft)-duckbill cup (hard)-straw cup-direct drinking cup. This order does not need to be strictly observed. For example, my daughter started directly from the straw cup.

The duckbill is closer to the shape of nipple, which is suitable for babies after 6 months. Straw cup, suitable for babies over 9 months old. Direct drinking cup: that is, drinking cup, close to adult drinking cup, suitable for babies over 12 months old. ?

Second, the children's cup I will refer to these standards.

1. Is it easy to clean?

I once bought nubi's sippy cup for my daughter. There are too many grooves and gaps, which are difficult to clean. So when mom buys it, don't choose anything too complicated, especially near the straw.

2. Is there a scale?

Children drink milk from nipples to cups. If there is a graduated bottle, it is convenient to make milk.

3. Materials

I will choose plastic, but please look for PP (polypropylene) material, which is the only material that can be heated by microwave oven. It can withstand the high temperature of 130℃ and its melting point is as high as 167℃. Avoid using PC materials, because PC materials are easy to decompose the toxic substance bisphenol A when heated.

Although glass bottles are recognized as the safest water cups, they are not recommended. First, it is relatively heavy, which is not conducive to children learning to drink water independently; Second, it is easy to hurt children.

4. "No dripping" function

Many cups have hidden mechanisms. If you don't suck, there will be no water, and even if you turn the whole cup upside down, it won't leak.

5. Fall resistance

Children have a space sensitive period. For example, my daughter loved to drop cups for a while. For a cup that is not resistant to falling, the lid is easy to loosen, the straw is easy to shift, and it is easy to leak.

Third, recommend brands.

Commonly used in the market are foreign brands such as Disney, Tiger Brand, Suda Skater, Xiangyin and gourmet chef, domestic cups, cups with bears and hals.

Recommend a cooking teacher with high value, easy cleaning, reasonable price, convenient for children and transparent.
