DOIDY CUP – LIGHT TURQUOISE

Short description / online shop
THE DOIDY CUP is an open-cup training cup with a unique slant that helps babies during weaning. With two handles, the Doidy Cup is scientifically designed with a unique slant to teach babies to drink from the rim, NOT from a spout or bottle. The slanted design allows a more natural up-and-down movement of the hands and arms; it teaches babies to drink from an open cup and put it down correctly.

Description / media
THE DOIDY CUP has been tried and trusted for baby weaning and open-cup training. Nearly 70 years since its development in 1950, the Doidy Cup’s unique design helps children see the liquid level and teaches them hand-eye coordination from an early age.The Doidy Cup with two handles is scientifically designed with a unique slope to teach babies to drink from an open cup rather than a teat or feeding bottle. Healthcare professionals, governments* and leading health organisations, such as the British Dietetic Association*, actively recommend using an open cup from around 6 months of age and stopping bottle use completely after 12 months.As well as teaching valuable skills, open cups offer several important health benefits compared with other drinking vessels. DESIGNED – small babies (from around 3 months) can drink easily from the two-handled Doidy Cup because:
• The contents are clearly visible while drinking;
• The angled design allows more natural up-and-down movement of the hands and forearms (unlike bottles and cups, which require moving the head back and forth);
• Teaches children to drink from an open cup and put it down correctly;
• Children are less likely to overeat;

The above advantages enable mothers to move from the breast to an open cup in one step, instead of introducing a dummy or spout.
NATURAL PROGRESSION – Drinking from the Doidy Cup is a natural progression from breastfeeding, as it uses the same sucking action.
HEALTHY SKILLS – Drinking from the Doidy Cup encourages good mouth movements and helps develop chewing skills by using the jaw, tongue and mouth muscles. It also helps improve hand-eye coordination.
TRUSTED – For almost 70 years, the Doidy Cup has helped children learn to drink from an open cup. Doidy Cups are sold by the National Childbirth Trust (NCT).
