A drinking range that takes baby from breast to bottle to cup, all in one easy system? We’ve made it. Introducing the BEABA Drinking Range: stylish, thoughtfully designed drinkware to help your baby learn to drink on their own. BEABA’s drinking range has been meticulously crafted to help both parents and baby take on this important milestone, with more sips (and fewer spills) along the way! At 4mo+, start with the 2-in-1 Bottle To Sippy Learning Cup, which is fitted with an interchangeable bottle nipple to silicone spout to help ease babies transition from breast to cup in their first drinking endeavors. Then move to this Stainless Steel Straw Sippy Cup or our Straw Sippy Cup at 8mo+ to continue baby’s drinking journey – straws strengthen muscles in the mouth that are important for eating and talking. The entire range is 100% watertight and leak-proof, open or closed or upside down. Use them at home or on the go – the range has been specifically designed with spill and temperature control in mind. All spouts and straws made from 100% supple silicone, and the handles, which can help baby hold the bottle, can be removed if needed. As always materials are BPA, Lead & Phthalate free. Special Note: The straw contains a valve that needs to be slightly compressed to open and allow liquid to flow through. Without compression, the valve stays closed in order to avoid spills and leaks. The valve is opened when the child bites or presses their lips down on it while sucking through the straw. It’s a similar technique to when they breast or bottle feed, so it is actually ideal for children as the straw’s functionality is meant to naturally mimic that familiar motion for them. It is not designed and will not work as intended for adults. It is best used when they are in the transition phase from bottle/breast feeding to learning to drink from a regular straw. | Beaba Stainless Steel Straw Sippy Cup - Rain
