Babies are already conscious from the age of two, and mothers need to cultivate their habits to varying degrees according to their age, from diet to play, to develop their ability to learn independently. Many mothers ask what cup is good for 2-year-old children to drink milk from. Below, the editor will introduce the water cups used by babies of different ages and the adverse effects of not using water cups for babies.
What cup is good for 2-year-old children to drink milk from
A 2-year-old baby usually has gradually mastered the technique of drinking milk from a water cup. At this stage, parents can gradually choose a regular water cup for their baby. At the beginning, one may grasp the strength of not delivering, and may not be able to immediately master the ability to "drink". To prevent harm to the baby's soft lips and prevent spilling the contents of the cup, mothers should choose soft mouthed drinking cups and pay attention to leak prevention. Parents can also choose straw cups for their babies. Since babies like to chew on straws, it is best to choose hose cups at the beginning. When choosing, it is best to pay attention to choosing safe, non-toxic, and high-temperature disinfectable materials. Baby mothers will master the technique of sucking without leaking.
The impact of babies not using drinking cups for a long time
1. Long term use of milk bottles leads to dental caries
Long term and frequent use of baby bottles may lead to dental caries. When the sugar in milk, juice, and other beverages reacts with bacteria in the mouth, it is easy to form acid that corrodes teeth.
2. Obstructing the development of lip function
The change of children from sucking milk in bottles to sipping milk in cups indicates that they have evolved from relying on oral pumping to drinking milk through their lips, which greatly promotes their oral function, especially the ability of their lips. Otherwise, it will hinder the development of this process.
3. Influence babies to move towards independence
The biggest benefit of letting children abandon the bottle and switch to drinking milk from a cup is that it marks a transformation from a baby to a child, no longer a little baby lying in their mother's arms holding a bottle and drinking milk. This signal gives the baby great encouragement, making them more eager for further independence.
After reading the above introduction, I believe mothers have understood that a 2-year-old baby should not only use a cup to drink water, but also use the right cup, which is beneficial for the healthy growth of the baby. The various consciousness and habits of babies are not developed in one step, they should be gradually cultivated bit by bit. As parents, it is important to watch parenting programs and read books about cultivating good habits in babies from an early age.
