I just wanted to share this with you. Seriously, I am happy to report that Katie loves this cup! and it has really decreased the amount of bottles she takes throughout the day.
The main purpose it to try to transition a child off the bottle onto a sippy cup or a straw. It is suppossed to strengthen the childs mouth muscles. However, reading through the literature, you can also place thickened liquids in it and the liquid will go through either the spout of the cup or the straw.
The cup is used by many CP children, brain injury kids, and DS kids.
