The two-handled Doidy Cup, has been scientifically designed with a unique slant in order to teach infants to drink from a rim, rather than from a spout or a teated bottle.<\/p><p>Health Professionals and leading health organisations such as The British Dietetic Association are active in recommending the introduction of an open cup at around 6 months of age and completely stopping the use of a bottle by 12 months. As well as teaching valuable skills there are a number of critical health benefits associated with open cups compared to other drinking vessels.<\/p><h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-b168eddd gb-headline-text\">Why Use a Doidy Cup<\/h2><p><strong>BY DESIGN \u2013 <\/strong>young infants (from around 3 months) find the two handled Doidy Cup easy to drink from because:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The contents are clearly visible when drinking;<\/li>\n\n<li>The sloping design allows a more natural upward and downward motion of the hands and arms (unlike bottles and sippy cups which require forward and backward movement of the head);<\/li>\n\n<li>It teaches them to drink from an open cup and how to put it down correctly;<\/li>\n\n<li>Children are less likely to overfeed;<\/li>\n\n<li>The above benefits allow mothers to make the move from breast to open cup in one step rather than introducing a teat or spout.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>NATURAL PROGRESSION \u2013 <\/strong>Drinking from the Doidy Cup is a natural progression from breast feeding because it uses the same suckling action.<\/p><p><strong>HEALTHY SKILLS \u2013 <\/strong>Drinking from the Doidy Cup encourages good oral movements and helps to develop chewing skills as the jaw, tongue and mouth muscles are used. It also helps with hand, eye co-ordination.<\/p><p><strong>RELIABILITY \u2013 <\/strong>For almost 70 years the Doidy Cup has been helping children learn to drink from an open cup.
