Product Description
Key Features:
- Transition Tool: Perfect for beginners and children with oral motor difficulties, the Bear Bottle Kit facilitates the transition from bottles to straw drinking. Straws strengthen mouth muscles and encourage proper tongue retraction, cheek tension, and lip closure, promoting healthy oral development.
- Unique Valve Design: The Bear Bottle features a unique valve that controls the direction of fluid flow. Liquid flows up into the straw but does not flow back down. By squeezing the bear's belly until fluid reaches the top of the straw and releasing, the fluid remains at the top, reducing the effort required to drink. This feature is highly recommended for individuals prone to aspiration or those with weak sucking abilities.
Kit Contents: The kit includes 1 easy-to-squeeze Bear Bottle with a snap-close cap, 1 Select-Flow Valve, 2 tubing straws, and 1 yellow Lip Blok® (1.91cm). The durable tubing straws are an alternative to traditional straws, and the Lip Blok prevents children from biting on the straw or inserting it too far into their mouths.
