Bickiepegs Doidy Cup

The transition from breast or bottle to a cup is not an easy one. Most health visitors, speech therapists and dentists seem to recommend that you get a young child onto a cup as soon as possible. One of the things that seems to be in vogue at the moment is the Doidy cup. Contrary to the beliefs of many (health visitors included) a Doidy cup is not a new thing. I certainly recall my sister having one almost 30 years ago. The concept is simple. One of the biggest problems for a parent trying to feed from a cup is that you can’t see where the liquid inside is. You either end up drowning the baby or you simply fail to get any liquid to their mouth. The ...  Read the complete review

My baby daughter would jusy not accept a teat from a bottle to feed. She just wanted me to feed her. This I did not mind but wondered how it would be to just get a break now and then and let Dad take over. She was three months old when the health visitor reccomended the amazing DOIDY cup.........

Recently at our baby club, we had some oral health experts in to talk to us. They were emphasising the importance of transitions to cups which were sipped from rather than sucked (i.e. contained a valve) when the time came for transition to cup. They recommended two cups - the Doidy Cup and the Tommy Tippee first cup. Since I have invested in both. The Doidy cup is a plastic cup with a slant on one side which means that it doesn't need to be tipped as far to get the fluid to the child's mouth, and that the child can see the fluid approaching. It has two handles which mean that it is easier for a small child to pick up and manipulate. It comes in blue, ...  Read the complete review

The dodiy cup has been around for donkeys years, originally considered to be a cup that would be useful for a child with special needs/eating and drinking difficulties it has now found a niche in the market for all children. Its popularity has recently returned and is being recommended to all trying to get their child from breat to cup or bottle to cup.
