In daily life, we often see some children who are two or three years old still using milk bottles. Doing so has two disadvantages: it is not conducive to children developing good living habits, and it can affect the healthy development of children’s teeth. We should have our children use training water bottles at the age of six months. So what should I pay attention to when choosing a drinking cup for my child?
1. Can it be disinfected
Nowadays, almost all learning drinking cups are made of PC non-toxic plastic, ensuring high temperature resistance and resistance to falls. However, not all cups can be disinfected. When purchasing, mothers must make sure that the outer packaging indicates whether they are machine washable and whether they can be disinfected.
2. Duck beak type and straw type
The baby drinking bottle is generally of the duck beak type and the straw type, but the details are slightly different. If you take a closer look, you will find that there are soft and hard differences between the duckbill type and the straw type. The soft mouth is generally made of active edible silicone, which is closer to the feeling of a pacifier. The hard mouth is made of non-toxic plastic. Parents can choose according to their baby’s preferences.
3. With or without scale
Not all cups have a scale on them. It is not convenient to use a cup without a scale to make milk powder. Parents can choose according to their actual use needs.
4. Can microwave heating be used
If the cup is not microwave heated, microwave heating may cause changes in the chemical composition of the cup, affecting the health of the baby.
5. With or without handles
Some water glasses on the market have handles, and some have been made into shapes that are convenient for babies to hold, so they are no longer equipped with handles. Mothers can choose according to their babies’ habits.
6. No water leakage
Many brands of water glasses have a leak proof design, which prevents water from leaking even if the entire cup is turned upside down. This is very practical, and mothers can pay attention when choosing.
