Hey there, mamas and papas! Are you ready to help your little ones make the big switch from bottle to sippy cup? This transition can be a bit tricky, but we've got some tips to help make it as smooth as possible. Plus, we're excited to introduce you to some fantastic products from Boon, available at edamama, that can make this change even easier!
1. Introduce the sippy cup early: Start offering your little one a sippy cup as early as 6 months. This helps them get used to the new drinking method before they become too attached to their bottle.
2. Choose the right cup: Boon's NURSH Silicone Sippy Spout (3-Pack) is designed to fit perfectly onto NURSH bottle shells, making it an easy and familiar transition for your child. Plus, they're 100% silicone, dishwasher, and sterilizer safe.
3. Make it fun: Pick out colorful and exciting sippy cups to entice your child. Boon offers a range of vibrant colors that your little one will love.
4. Gradually decrease bottle use: Slowly reduce the number of bottles your child gets each day, replacing them with sippy cups. This gradual change makes it easier for your little one to adjust.
5. Offer water first: Start by filling the sippy cup with water, which is less likely to cause a mess if spilled. As your child gets more comfortable, you can begin offering milk or juice in the sippy cup.
6. Keep it consistent: Use the same sippy cup design throughout the transition to help your child become familiar with it. The Boon NURSH Silicone Sippy Spout can be easily swapped onto NURSH bottle shells for a seamless change.
7. Be patient: Remember that this is a big change for your little one, so be patient and allow them time to adjust. Encourage and praise their efforts along the way!
8. Keep things clean: Boon's range of cleaning products, like the CACTI Bottle Cleaning System and MOD Bottle Cleaning System, make it easy to keep your sippy cups clean and hygienic.
9. Accessorize: Boon offers a range of NURSH accessories, like storage lids, pouches, and nipples, that can make the transition even smoother.
10. Take advantage of special offers: Keep an eye out for deals on Boon products at edamama, like their launch giveaway and P100 beanback voucher for mamas and papas!
Making the transition from bottle to sippy cup is a significant milestone in your child's life. With patience, consistency, and the right products, your little one will be sipping away in no time! So, don't wait any longer – grab some Boon mealtime gear from edamama and make this change a fun and exciting experience for both you and your little bean. Happy sipping!
