How many study cups does a two-year-old child need?

Generally speaking, after the baby is two years old, it is not recommended to use a bottle in front of outsiders. At this time, parents need to choose a suitable cup for their baby. However, looking at so many styles in the mall, my parents have no idea. What kind of cup is suitable? As long as babies are mentioned, people naturally think of three things-bottles, nipples and diapers. Babies' cups are often ignored by their parents. In fact, the baby cup is also a very important feeding tool. Farewell to the bottle is also an important milestone in the baby's growth. Giving up the bottle is gradually breaking the bottle to feed, and naturally there is an intention to wean the mouth. After baby teething, try to quit the habit of sucking nipples, eating fingers and sleeping with a bottle, so as not to affect deciduous teeth and produce "bottle-shaped teeth" and "papillary tooth decay". The former affects aesthetics, while the latter often leads to dents on the tooth surface, which makes the tooth surface rough and easily leads to tooth decay. So when should the baby change the cup? There are many kinds of cups in the market. Which cup is suitable for baby?

In fact, the baby can be fed with a small measuring cup as soon as he is born, a duckbill training cup can be used from 5 months, and a baby over 9 months can use a straw cup. Therefore, the baby does not accept the bottle, and parents can completely consider letting the baby use the cup directly. The best time to drink water from a cup. Long-term frequent use of baby bottles can lead to dental caries. The pediatrician suggested that it is best to try to let the baby drink water from a cup when he is 6 months old. Although 6 months is recognized as the best time for a baby to transition from a bottle to a cup, the baby always has to learn to adapt, and it is impossible to do it overnight. When the baby is 5 months old, parents can consciously familiarize the baby with the training cup and prepare to drink water from it. At the age of 6 months, you can try to make him drink the water in the cup. At first, the baby can hold the cup in both hands, and the parents can help to send it to his mouth. When the baby holds the cup firmly, the adult can gradually ask him to hold the cup to his mouth and pay attention to the amount of water in the cup from less to more. By 8 months, the baby can drink water from the cup by himself. Throughout the school cup baby's school cup, although there are many brands and different shapes, they are all the same. Generally speaking, there are several main differences: 1. Can it be disinfected? Nowadays, almost all school drinking cups are space glass, that is, PC is non-toxic plastic, which ensures high temperature resistance and smashing resistance. Only a few brands supply disposable paper cups. As far as this feature is concerned, parents don't have to worry that the baby will break and hurt himself if he can't hold any cups. However, not all cups can be disinfected. Be sure to read it carefully when you buy it. There must be a note on the outer box: can it be machine washed and disinfected? 2. Duckbill and sucker Although all major brands have their own patented designs, in fact, in the final analysis, they are nothing more than duckbill and sucker, but the details are slightly different. If you look closely, parents will find that both duckbill and straw are soft and hard. Soft mouth (tube) generally adopts active edible silica gel, which is close to the feeling of nipple; Hard mouth is non-toxic plastic, which is closer to the title of cup. Parents can choose according to their baby's preferences. 3. Is there a scale? All bottles have scales, but not all cups have them. It is inconvenient to make formula milk powder with a cup without scale. Parents can choose according to actual needs. 4. Is there a handle? Some cups have handles, some cups are made into shapes that are convenient for babies to take, so they are no longer equipped with handles, and some brands use handles as optional accessories. Parents decide according to their baby's habits. 5. The "no dripping" function has many hidden mechanisms for the cup, so it can't absorb water, even if the whole cup is inverted, it won't leak. The cup should keep pace with the baby's growth. In principle, the baby should transition from duckbill type to straw type and then to drinking water training type, and from soft mouth to hard mouth. It can be carried out step by step or by leaps and bounds. Parents should pay attention to the baby's habits and preferences and upgrade the cups in time. The cup mouth, straw and sealing ring may age in the process of frequent boiling and disinfection, and there may be cracks when bitten by the baby. Parents need to check all parts of the cup frequently so as to replace it in time. Tips for saving money by buying cups 1. If the baby is younger, parents can choose a set of cups to combine into one. Because the cups of the same brand are basically universal, but the cups are different. So many brands have introduced cup sets. Take the four-in-one set of relatives as an example. One cup is equipped with four kinds of cups, from nipple type to drinking training type. After the improvement, the cup mouth can be changed, which saves money compared with buying four cups with independent packaging and saves the space of three cups. 2. Parents can modify the bottle. For example, the magic cup of "avent" has the same caliber as the bottle, and the parts of this brand of magic cup can be directly mounted on the bottle. Others, such as "Yellow Duckling" and "NUK", can be loaded in bottles of general caliber. In addition, replacing the ordinary nipple with a juice nipple (also called duck flat mouth) will become a soft-mouthed duckbill learning cup.
