About this deal

RECOMMENDATION – Health Professionals including Health Visitors, Dietitians, Dental Professionals and Speech Therapists recommend Doidy Cups for easier weaning but also to help prevent long term health problems caused by delayed weaning from the bottle (see Oral Health Tips – Cup Training). Moreover, the Doidy Cup may also be used by older children and adults – for example those with special needs, or for the elderly who may be bed bound or cognitively impaired. Weaning Advice The Doidy Cup has been specifically designed to help make the move from breast or bottle to a cup easier for infants and young children. Doidy Cups support current NHS and NICE Guidelines to encourage children to move to an open cup as soon as they are ready and by 12 months of age. Baby led weaning is for many a preferred introduction to solid foods, it involves offering your baby a variety of foods that they can feed themselves. What are the signs your baby is ready to begin weaning? BY DESIGN– young infants (from around 3 months) find the two handled Doidy Cup easy to drink from because:

Promotes sensory, motor and brain development– Open cup trains hand-eye coordination in your baby as they learn how to drink from a rim through judging liquid levels and moving arms accordingly to deliver the liquid into their mouths. When first introducing the Doidy Cup use a small amount of liquid and hold the cup at the bottom. Place the rim on the lower lip to allow baby to take what she wants. Around 5 months the baby will take the handles and try to feed themselves more independently.

RELIABILITY – For almost 70 years the Doidy Cup has been helping children learn to drink from an open cup. Doidy Cups are sold by the National Childbirth Trust (NCT).

Health Professionals recommend the introduction of an open cup from 6 months of age. Breast or bottle-fed babies may be encouraged to drink from the Doidy Cup. Learning to drink from the Doidy Cup at a young age can allow the move from breast to cup without the introduction of a spout or teated bottle. The above benefits allow mothers to make the move from breast to open cup in one step rather than introducing a teat or spout. CRITICAL SKILLS & HEALTH BENEFITS– Not only does drinking from the Doidy Cup encourage good oral movements and help babies develop swallowing skills, it also helps hand eye co-ordination, aiding infants to learn how to place a cup down properly. In fact, Health Professionals promote the use of an open cup such as The Doidy Cup to help prevent many conditions that may occur from prolonged use of a teat or spout. This can include premature tooth decay (early dental caries) and speech problems, with speech therapists even using the Doidy Cup to teach lip and tongue control. Bottle fed children have an increased probability of iron depletion compared with cup fed children (see Health Professionals references). How to start the weaning processFEATURES – 200 ml capacity, hygienic, steriliser-safe, dishwasher-proof (top shelf) and freezer-proof, available in 17 colours including a solid, pearlised and sparkle finish.

When first introducing the Doidy Cup use a small amount of liquid and hold the cup at the bottom. Place the rim on the lower lip to allow baby to take what she wants. Around 5 months the baby will take the handles and try to feed themselves more independently. The Doidy Cup is idea for milk, water and first foods such as fruit purees and vegetable soups. Award-winning scientific design– Unique slant enables infants to judge liquid levels and allows natural motion of arms during drinking. Two-handled to help infants grasp the cup with ease

salt (as their kidneys are unable to cope with large amounts of salt and over-use could affect the child’s health in future) ;Available in 11 colours: Pastel Pink, Cerise, Red, Orange, Yellow, Turquoise, Green, Blue, Purple, Lilac, Grey If your baby was born prematurely it is always best to seek advice from your Health visitor before you start. Think about possible allergies, is there a family history of food allergies? If so seek advice about when to introduce certain foods. Babies develop at different stages though generally by 6 months old it is now thought their digestive systems are ready to process solid foods.

Bearing in mind Health Professionals and Government recommendations for complete bottle elimination by the age of 1 year, it is often the case that infants want to independently drink from an open cup, to be part of the social eating experience and to show how clever they are! The Department of Health recommends waiting till your baby is around 6 months old before introducing weaning.

Consistently recommended by leading Health Professionals & Voted by parents & professionals as best open training cup in numerous weaning awards Originated in 1950, Doidy Cup has been scientifically designed with a unique slant to teach infants to drink from a rim, NOT a spout or teated bottle. This helps to transition infants to the weaning stage by introducing the concept of independent drinking. HEALTHY SKILLS – 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. When travelling it is recommended that all drinks should be kept in a separate sealed container and the cup in a plastic bag and washed after use. Discard any drink that has been contaminated with saliva as it is open to bacteria.
