What The Professionals Say

I welcome the Steadycup from Steadyco. It is better than a bottle because its open-top style encourages healthy infant feeding habits by reducing the frequency and length of time that liquids are in contact with the teeth’

‘From a dental health point of view the Steadycup encourages a child to use a cup as early as possible and may be of benefit in helping prevent the long term damage which can be caused by frequent and continual sipping from a trainer cup or bottle throughout the day’ ‘I wholeheartedly endorse the marketing of this product for toddlers, and support its use’.

‘The Steadycup design meets so many of our needs in providing a healthy choice of cup in the ever increasing baby product market. We have been trying it out with parents in our area and the feedback from both parents and their toddlers is very positive. This cup will help encourage parents to move their young children away from sucking on spouts and grazing through the day, towards drinking from the rim of a cup. This will promote parent supervision and sitting down together with a drink. Not only is this good for oral health, but is also good for speech and language development, nutrition and parenting skills.’

‘As Oral Health promoters we find the Steadycup extremely useful as an aid to promoting the use of open cups. I spend my day explaining the dangers of non-spill cups to mums, most of whom are shocked that they are the same as baby bottles…. We advise that children are taught to drink from an open cup as soon as possible…. I have given several mums a sample of the Steadycup to try and so far the response has been amazing. Mums have been delighted that they can finally go from breast/bottle without having us use a spouted feeder cup now that the Steadycup is available.’
