What exactly is a newborn feeding cup?

A newborn feeding cup is a small, specially designed cup that allows you to feed your baby breast milk or formula without using a bottle. Instead of sucking through Infant Water Bottles, your baby can simply sip from the rim of the cup with your guidance.

It’s simple, safe, and often recommended by hospitals for situations where breastfeeding directly isn’t possible, such as when:

• The baby is premature and needs expressed breast milk.

• The mother has medical reasons for not breastfeeding immediately.

• Parents want to avoid nipple confusion caused by bottles

Why do parents choose feeding cups over bottles?

Many parents are surprised at how well newborns adapt to cup feeding. Cup feeding is often used when babies need supplementation, but parents still want to continue breastfeeding. Unlike bottles a Newborn Feeding Cup doesn't interfere with latching or create nipple confusion. Premature babies might not have the strength to suck from a bottle. A feeding cup allows your baby to drink a small amount at their own pace. With a cup, your baby controls how much milk they take in. Unlike bottles and teats, the feeding cups are simple in design and also very easy to clean.

How to use a newborn feeding cup?

· Hold your baby upright, either in your arms or on your lap.

· Fill the cup with a small amount of milk, usually 20 to 30 ml at a time.

· Gently rest the cup on your baby’s lower lip.

· Tilt it slowly so the milk touches their lip, allowing them to sip at their own pace.

· Be patient, babies may dribble or spill at first, but they quickly learn.

Choosing the right feeding cup

Not all feeding cups are the same. Some are basic open cups while others come with gentle spouts designed for newborns.

• BPA-free and food-grade materials.

• Small size suitable for newborn feeds.

• Easy to wash and sterilise.

• A design that’s comfortable for you to hold and tilt.
