The problem of materials has been expounded at the above point. Generally speaking, plastic cups have various shapes and are not easy to be damaged, but plastics will undergo chemical changes under the action of high temperature, producing dangerous substances and endangering children's health; Glass cups are safe and easy to clean, but easy to break, and if the water is too hot, it may not only burn children, but also burst; Stainless steel cups are hard and have the function of heat preservation, but there are trace elements in the cups, which may endanger children's health. So cups made of different materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. Parents can choose cups for their children according to their needs. However, it should be noted that preventive measures must be taken according to the characteristics of the water cup to avoid accidents.
2. Can it be disinfected?
Nowadays, most children's cups are made of space glass, that is, PC is made of non-toxic plastic, which can not only withstand relatively high water temperature, but also is not easy to be damaged after being broken. However, there are few brands with disposable paper cups for parents to choose from. If you choose a cup made of this material, you don't have to worry about the cup breaking or the child getting hurt. In addition, parents must pay more attention when buying water cups to see if the outer packaging of water cups can be disinfected by machine washing. If the cup can be disinfected, it can ensure that the cup is clean and hygienic before the child uses it.
3. Duck bill or straw
Although each cup of different brands has its own patented cup design, to sum up, there are only two kinds of cups, duckbill type and straw type. There will only be some changes in some details and appearance. If we distinguish carefully, there are differences between the two cups. If the mouth of the cup is soft, it is probably made of silicone, which is active, edible and feels like a nipple. The drinking mouth of the cup is relatively hard, generally using non-toxic plastic, which is close to the overall feeling of the cup. Parents can choose their baby's favorite cup. Generally, give the baby a soft cup first, and then give him a hard cup, so there is a transition process, which can make the child transition from sucking nipples to using ordinary cups.
Second, matters needing attention in using children's cups
1, don't pour hot water with excessive temperature. If the water temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius, it is very dangerous, and water may gush out from the drinking port and burn the child.
2. The cup needs to be disinfected before being used for the first time. It is best to scald unused cups with boiling water for three minutes before use, so as to achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection.
Don't put the cup in the direct sunlight. If the cup is exposed to the sun for a long time, the material may soften or even deform, and the plastic may produce harmful substances, which is harmful to children's health.
4, the cup needs to be cleaned immediately after use, and then used. If you drink colored liquids such as fruit juice from a cup, you need to wash it carefully before use. These colored liquids will also change the color of the cup, so it needs to be cleaned with warm water before use.
Don't heat the cup in the microwave oven. If the cup is full of water, it is very dangerous to heat it in a microwave oven.
