Detailed Product Description
The Doidy Cup in Red is a classic weaning aid designed in the U.K. in the 1950s and continues to be manufactured in the U.K. . Unlike traditional spouted cups, the Doidy Cup features a unique slant that teaches a child to drink from an open rim. This two-handled cup allows for a more natural upward and downward motion of the hands and arms, enabling children as young as 3 months to drink expressed milk, formula, or water without needing to tilt their heads back. It is consistently recommended by Health Professionals and organisations such as the NHS and NCT for encouraging healthy drinking habits and oral movements .

Direction for Use
When first introducing the Doidy Cup, use a small amount of liquid and hold the cup at the bottom .
Place the rim on the baby's lower lip to allow them to take what they want using a suckling action.
Around 5 months, the baby will start to take the handles and try to feed themselves more independently .
Note that there may be some spillages initially, but this is essential for the baby to learn.
We recommend that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming any product.
Warnings for Use
Never leave an infant unattended when feeding or drinking. Discard any drink that has been contaminated with saliva as it is open to bacteria. Warning: microwaving liquids can result in 'hot spots' and is not advised for children's drinks .
