The dangers of using a duckbill cup

Many parents think that children's supplies are relatively rare, so they prepare a large number of children's supplies for their children. Some children often use duckbill cups. Duckbill cups are actually not good because they can easily breed bacteria and damage the baby's teeth and gums. They may even affect the oral cavity, and can produce toxins if not cleaned thoroughly.

1 The disadvantage of using duckbill cups for babies is that it breeds bacteria

1. Reason: Liquid can easily stay in the gaps and hidden places of the cup, thus breeding bacteria.

2. Suggestions:

Clean the cup thoroughly, especially the lid and plastic stopper. If you can't wash the cup right away, make sure to rinse it twice with clean water. If this is not possible, let your baby finish the cup of liquid and add extra.

3. Special reminder: In addition, you also need to check the cup regularly to see if it is damaged or moldy.

1. Reason: The sugar in the cup filled with juice or breast milk will corrode the baby's teeth.

2. Recommendation: Babies should never hold a duckbill cup in their mouths when sleeping at night, and especially not when you take the baby out. If you need to stop to give your baby a drink, rinse his mouth with warm water after drinking.

Don't give your baby milk in a cup before he is 1 year old. Breast milk and formula milk are fine, and you can give your baby some juice after 6 months, but not at bedtime. For older babies, limit juice intake with meals and snacks, and fill a cup with cool water if your baby is thirsty.
