Grabease 2021 new product: Big Kids Utensils Set and Cup Set

You must know Grabease - the first infamous ergonomic utensils brand. After launching toothbrush, all-over bibs, and silicone bowl last year, this year Grabease has launched utensils set for bigger kids and sippy & straw convertible cup set. In this article we will give you a quick introduction about these 2 new comers.

Spoutless sippy & straw convertible cup set

Includes clear cup, silicone sippy lid, straw, cleaning brush & mini open cup

Grabease created a cup that offers 3 options of use, as we never know what will suit our little one best. Some do great with a straw, while others prefer sippy cups. Grabease cup set helps baby transition from one stage to another.

Grabease consulted with occupational therapists and feeding specialists to come up with the perfect cup with toddlers' perspectives in mind.

Clear cup is designed to allow baby to see what they are drinking. When your little one is able to see the liquid in the cup, visual feedback helps them understand that the liquid is pouring into their mouth as they tilt their cup. The textured pattern enhances grasp sensory awareness, and when your little one is able to see the liquid in the cup, visual feedback helps them understand that the liquid is pouring into their mouth as they tilt their cup.

The food grade silicone lid and straw are resistant to all bacteria, odors, and stains. Use the included straw cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the straw after use.

5 Best straw cups for your baby in 2021 (Updated)

Choosing sippy straw cups for your baby with hundreds of collection on the market would be a very handful job to do. It can be pretty overwhelming when you’re standing in front of a selection of 30+ sippy straw cups.

But whether you like it or not, it is a must to do job. Why? Pediatricians recommend weaning your baby from the bottle (of breastmilk or formula) and switching to a cup at approximately 12 months old in order to support oral appropriate oral motor skill development. Let them exercise their face muscles (lips and jaw), tongue, and soft palate, all of which are connected to speech and feeding.

Before we go through recommendation part, I would like to let you know pros and cons between choosing a sippy cup or a straw cup.

Sippy cup and straw cup pros and cons

Just like with a bottle, baby places her tongue at the front of her mouth to form a seal and suckle while using a sippy cup. For this reason, some pediatricians and speech and language pathologists recommend straw cups over sippy cups. With straw cups, your baby is more likely to learn the new skill of pulling her tongue to the back of her mouth when she drinks.

In addition to learning the proper tongue and mouth placement for drinking (rather than suckling), your baby must also master the hand-eye coordination required to hold, lift, and tip her cup towards her mouth, all while sitting upright on her own. Straw cups offer less practice for these skills because your baby can successfully drink from them while still reclining and sucking, and not sitting upright or fully tipping the cup to her mouth.

Now we go to recommendation part.
