Doidy® Cup speech therapy training cup | Sunny

Unusual Doidy Cup, whose secret is a well-thought-out shape that makes it easy for a toddler to drink beverages without the need for a baby bottle.

The Doidy Cup is used to skip the step of using a non-cup, at which the toddler unreflectively uses it by spilling the liquid. The Doidy Cup's form forces the toddler to practice drinking the way adults do, while keeping liquids from spilling down the drain.

the Doidy toilets were designed in 1950 by British draftsman Tom Pickering. The prototype of the "crooked" cup was created for the home use of the designer's son, whose pediatrician observed a problem with abnormal speech development. During a visit to a specialist clinic - a speech therapist recommended immediate abandonment of the bottle and a form of speech therapy involving learning to drink from an open cup.

Drinking from the Doidy Cup requires the same natural jaw movements as sucking on the breastmothers. Due to its unique properties, the Doidy Cup can be used in two ways:

• for feeding the baby with mother's milk - the use of a cup in this case does notleads to turbulence in the way of sucking the infant.
• for feeding your baby after weaning

In both cases, the use of a bottle becomes completely unnecessary.

6 months +

Babies previously fed from the breast or bottle can be slowly accustomed to drinking on their own with the Doidy Cup after they reach about 6 months of age. Developing the habit of drinking from a cup will allow stress-free elimination of the bottle (in infantsfed from a bottle) and skip learning to drink the so-called non-cups.

12 months +

Year-olds increasingly taking the lead. Completely independent drinking from acup is one of those skills that toddlers are particularly proud of.Taking into account the fact that pediatricians recommend weaning the child completely from the using a bottle after the age of one - drinking from the Doidy Cup is an additional advantage.Doidy Cup is also useful for older children and adults - when traveling,during illness when you have to lie in bed and also in the hospital.

Drinking from a Doidy Cup baby:

• can decide on its own the rate and amount of fluid it drinks,
• thanks to the beveled shape of the cup, he can see its contents and does not have to tilt his head back hard,
• adopts the learning process naturally using the same jaw movements as when suckling at the breast,
• learns to drink from an open cup and to put it down,
• trains the muscles of the jaw, face and tongue - which is beneficial for the proper development of speech and chewing skills,
• avoids problems resulting from the use of a bottle or so-called "drippy cup" (this is especially true of prolonged sucking of the bottle tea or drippy cup mouthpiece, eg after falling asleep) conducive to the development of caries, anemia, malnutrition, problems with proper speech and the development of bad eating habits.

How to help your child learn to drink on his own?

• When drinking from a cup, the child should be able to regulate independently the pace of drinking. Therefore, it is a good idea to pour a small amount of drink into the cup.
• Holding the cup from underneath, rest the rim of the cup against the child's lower lip slightly tilt it so that the child can drink exactly as much as he or she wants to.
• If your child spills liquid while drinking, consider it a normal learning process.That's why, at the beginning of learning to use a cup, we recommend pouring only small amounts of drink into the Doidy Cup and refilling it as needed.
• Babies get used to drinking from the Doidy Cup very quickly, and at 6 months of agebegin their first independent attempts to drink.

Hygiene and care of the Doidy Cup cup

• Before first use, the cup should be washed thoroughly with warm water and a small amount of soap or dish liquid.
• Doidy Cup can be sterilized (cold, by boiling, in the microwave, in aprofessional sterilizer) as well as dishwasher safe.
• When traveling or out and about, it's a good idea to store the cup in the original zippered pouch that comes with the Doidy Cup, and the drinks in screw-top bottles - this will allow you to pour just the right amount of drink into the cup for your needs.
