It's also an excellent way to transition babies straight from bottles to straw drinking - skipping sippy cups altogether! Many speech therapists believe that sippy cups can promote improper tongue positioning and an immature swallowing pattern, while straw drinking can help strengthen the mouth muscles and encourage tongue retraction, cheek tension, lip closure, and proper oral positioning. \r\nThe Bear Bottle, aka the \"honey bear straw cup,\" features a unique valve that controls the direction of fluid - liquid flows up into the straw, but does not flow back down. Simply press the tapered end of the Select-Flow Valve into the bottom of the straw and insert straw into the Bear Bottle cup, twist the cap on. Squeeze the bear's belly until fluid reaches the top of the straw and release. Fluid will stay at the top of the straw, thereby decreasing the effort required to drink. The honey bear bottle with straw is recommended for individuals who tend to aspirate or have a weak suck with difficulties generating and maintaining suction. \r\nThe CalmNest Bear Bottle Kit for Straw Drinking (Standard) includes: 1 easy-to-squeeze Bear Bottle with a snap-close cap, 1 Select-Flow Valve, 2 eight-inch long tubing straws, 1 yellow Lip Blok (3\/4\"), and instructions on how to teach straw drinking. The tubing straw is a reusable, chewable, durable alternative to traditional straws, and the Lip Blok prevents kids from biting on the straw or putting it too far into their mouths. The Plus version includes all the same components plus a pack of 12 regular drinking straws. \r\nSpecifications:\r\n Made from non-toxic, food grade materials. Dishwasher safe.\r\n Crafted in our own factory in Columbia, SC for quality and safety assurance.\r\n Bottle measures approximately 2 x 2.5 x 6\" and holds 8oz of fluid.\r\n*May be HSA \/ FSA eligible.
