TalkTools Honey Bear Straw Cup with Handle, 7oz – Soft Straw Trainer for Babies & Toddlers 4+ Months – Easy-Grip, Dishwasher Safe.

I am not sure I can say enough good things about the Honey Bear cup. This cup is great for kids that are just learning to drink from a straw. This cup is used a lot for children with special needs that have difficulty drinking from a cup. The cup is made from plastic this is soft enough that you can squeeze the liquid up through the straw. This helps teach the child how to use the straw before the know how to suck. The straw is clear and flexible. The straw reminds me of aquarium tubing but is not so thick of material but has a larger opening. The cup comes with a flip open lid that will close and is spill proof. This cup will work with just about any liquids. I have used it with thickened liquids and the kids are able to get them up the straw because the straw has more of an opening than a regular straw. I have used this type of cup with a lot of kids have seen great results. This cup is affordable and seems to last a long time. I have had no complaints and parents have seen huge successes in learning to drink from a cup with this.

This cup is great for teaching toddlers to drink from a straw. It also allows thickened liquids to be drank if dysphagia is a concern. It’s easy to clean.

My son learned to drink from a straw within minutes with this drinking cup. Not only is it cute, but makes the whole process very easy. The child does not need to suck very hard to get water out, and the tiniest squeeze of the bottle makes the water travel up the straw. Its a great learning tool. My only criticism is that when my son threw the bottle, the cover broke off. Not a big deal because it was still usable to cover the straw, its just now a separate piece. Maybe if the plastic hinge was a little thicker, it would be more durable.

This is the best straw cup we’ve tried. My son is teething so much he just wants to chomp on straws. We’ve tried all the tricks and he’s close but not there yet. The Ola baby cup was hard to squeeze and then would give a giant burst and cover us all. This cup is easy to squeeze just a little bit and has handles so he can hold on his own. I’ve taken it on the go and the lid does not leak. I’m confident we’ll get there soon with this cup.

My son is two years old with autism and no matter what I did I couldn’t get him to drink from a straw. He just wanted to bite it, he didn’t understand to suck out of it like his sippy cups. One of his therapist told me about this bottle and I bought it the same day. He literally got it within 5 seconds of using it and is now only using his toddler tumbler with a straw to drink out of. I threw this bottle away after the first 3 days of using it because I no longer needed it. It definitely did its job and I don’t see it as something you have your kids use all the time. I see reviews complaining about it it leaking or what ever but it’s literally just to get your kids to understand how a straw works it’s not ment to be an everyday cup for them to use for months. It’s worth the buy if you can’t get your kiddo to use a straw any other way.

Saw a pediatric OT speak about this cup on TikTok. My 15mo old learned how to drink from a straw with this cup

My 9 month old was still struggling to take a standard bottle or sippy cup and was in speech/feeding therapy and had a tongue tie revision. The speech therapist suggested that this is a solution for some families and we could try it in future sessions. I decided to take matters into my own hands and ordered this. Our little one learned to drink in one mealtime, taking about 3 ounces of milk with just a supportive squeeze from me. A few days later she was able to drink without any extra pressure from caregivers. She had never before managed to drink from a straw, and often spilled anything we tried to "pipette". Since that time she is always trying to get our drinks too! This is the best brand of the two we have tried. We ordered a multi-pack from another company. The plastic is a little firmer, and the straw is harder, the cut of the straw is messier and the straw is almost too tight of a fit to get through the screw-on lid. I wish I had spent that money on more of this Honey Bear from Talk Tools because the quality cannot be matched. The plastic of the bottle is supple has the right amount of give. It feels like it will last longer. The tubing provided for the straw is softer and the ends are smooth as the cuts were more easily and carefully done. The straw tubing provided inserts easily from the bottom of the blue screw-on cap. It slides easily in the hole, so I can even slide it mostly in and close the lid for days when we are on the go and baby doesn't complete her feeding. My infant does seem to be neurotypical, and the only diagnosis related to feeding baby has is posterior tongue tie. Baby was meeting all other milestones and even eats purees - just could not manage to coordinate the tongue to take bottles. I hope this helps other families and therapists considering a honey bear style therapy cup.

It is hard to give this drinking bear three stars because it is made very cheaply and very expensive for what you get. I have only used it, at most, 10 times and the lid is already breaking off and I have been very careful when opening it because I did read the reviews. Even before the first use I have only hand wash it. The face is already coming off (not a big deal though) and I have only washed the outside,gently, I believe the bottle part (bear not lid) being made cheaply (thin) is on purpose so it works properly. The idea is to squish the bottle to get the drink up to the kids mouth so the child can learn how to use a straw. I have to squish it the whole time because my daughter is handicapped and she is losing the ability to drink on her own. My hands get soar quickly. If the plastic was made Thicker I’m not sure I could keep the bottle squished in for the length of time my daughter needs. I can never let the pressure ease up. Final words. I think it is a great idea and there is a learning curve. I wish the lid was made better, I wish there was a disk at the bottom of the straw to hold it down (the straw is always bent because to store the drink to use during the day I have to push the straw back in the bear. Otherwise you can’t close the lid. Also, In one sitting I have to keep the bear 3/4 of the way full. No more or the liquid squishes out before it’s in the kids mouth) and finally it is way over priced and that is the biggest reason I want to give it two stars. It’s worth a try if you can deal with what I’ve wrote.

The paint is flaking off. I just unboxed it and it’s like this. Very worrying as a baby might just put the bottle in her mouth and I test the paint. For the price, the quality doesn’t match . Kindly assist in replacing or refunding. thanks

El tarrito o termo es muy útil para bebé a partir de los 6 meses. Aguanta toda caída y mi hijo ahora de 9 meses y medio lo tira todo el tiempo al piso y no se revienta. Lo cargo a todos lados con el temor de dejarlo en alguna parte y perderlo pero es que para lo que costo $480 por un solo tarrito que a simple vista se ve insignificante hay que usarlo a la final. Muy resistente y mi hijo toma feliz de el. Así que 5 estrellas, pero muy caro. Hay que pensarlo si sí lo vas a usar tanto. Yo lo uso todo el tiempo pero solo agua eso si.

It’s very expensive for the quality of plastic. But it does the job and doesn’t leak

The flap broke off easily and how much ever you wash the bottle the water tastes bitter and plasticky .. disappointing

Increíble para un niño de 10 a 18 meses
