Nursin' SMART 9 oz Silicone Training Straw Cup

Usually, at 6 months old, babies can start drinking water along with their solid food. They can also start transitioning out of bottles before 12 months old to use straw cups. The best on the market? Our Nursin' SMART 9 oz Silicone Training Straw Cup!

Noticeably soft and naturally elastic, Innobaby’s Nursin’ SMART Grow-With-Me Silicone Nursing System was developed by a group of pediatric specialists in 2004. It’s made with the highest-quality medical-grade silicone and carefully manufactured to provide an ultimate supplementary feeding solution for all feed challenges faced from infant to toddler.

Here’s how it works:

• Transitioning from the Natural Nurser to the straw cup can make the weaning period easier for baby, as the same soft bottle is transitioned into a straw cup.
• Its soft and natural feel allows parents to squeeze the bottle gently to help baby adjust to drinking from a cup.
• The patented inner valve controls the flow of liquid, allowing for adjustments to ensure comfort for your child.

Sippy cups with valves are designed to be leak-proof but are not made as an ideal tool for training babies to learn how to drink from a cup. These sippy cups require an intense sucking motion to release liquid, which can interfere with oral and speech development. A straw cup not only allows liquid to bypass teeth when drinking, which may reduce tooth decay, according to pediatric dentists, but also reduces confusion and latching issues in breastfed babies.

This Grow-With-Me system allows for extended use throughout toddler years. This single bottle can be used with different-stage nipples and even straws for different ages and developmental stages. Because it is easy to sanitize and made with safe materials, it can be used for multiple children, making it eco-friendly and economical.

Sippin' SMART EZ Flow Straw Sippy

Innobaby’s EZ Flow Straw Sippy was designed to make drinking easy in any position. The smart straw has a weighted stainless steel ball that follows the liquid in the cup to allow continuous flow and is leak-resistant—even when it’s flipped! Yes, we promise: The lid has a silicone seal, making it 100% leak-proof!

The wide opening makes it easy to clean—and it comes with a straw cleaning brush, too.

This straw is durable and comfortable to drink from. Its bubble-shaped curve prevents slipping while your child drinks, making the transition to a big-kid cup easier. It’s also got a flip-top cap to keep your little one’s straw clean. The handles and fun-colored top are sure to make this your child’s favorite cup, and the spill-proof features will make it yours!
