Ok...major special needs mommy moment. I’m sharing my experience in hopes of helping any other caregivers out there struggling like I am with transitioning from a bottle. I tried out the Honey Bear cup set yesterday and I LOVE this product....it allows for easy backwards chaining in order to get Jacob to drink from a straw independently. I’m able to squeeze the liquid into his mouth, then to the tip of the straw (where it stays until he sucks thanks to the removable one way valve) and then transition to Jacob sucking the liquid through the whole straw! The straw helps to limit tongue protrusion (that tends to happen with typical sippy cups) and the lip block helps Jacob become familiar with how far to put the straw in his mouth (which we can slowly transition away from using). Save yourself frustration and $$$ (I can’t tell you how many cups we’ve purchased) and try this! (Not an ad- just a share😊)
