Doidy
feeding cup
This is a really easy way to introduce babies to drinking
from a cup.
The Doidy Cup, designed and made in the U.K., teaches
your children to drink from a rim.
The unique slant of the cup enables children to drink
easily as they can see the contents without thrusting
their heads forward and downwards. They also learn to
put the cups down properly.
Babies as young as 6mths find the two handled cup easy
to hold and use but with Mum's help the cup can be used
from birth.
Dishwasher (top shelf) and microwave safe. (Warning
- micro waving liquids can result in 'hot spots' and
is not advised for children's drinks.)
The
Doidy cup is an ideal aid to weaning as the natural
mouth action used is the same as in breast feeding.
Health professionals are advising use of the Doidy Cup
to prevent long term health problems caused by delayed
weaning and prolonged use of feeding bottles and spouted
cups.
Numerous Health Authorities are promoting the use of
the Doidy Cup in their 'SURE START' and 'BOTTLE TO CUP'
campaigns.

Gro-bags
for babies
The most precious thing in a parent’s life is
their newborn baby. The second most precious thing in
their lives is sleep. Nothing really prepares them for
the levels of sleep deprivation that is experienced
in the first few weeks of a newborns life. When parents
are going through the routine of waking several times
a night, not having reached the stage of developing
any kind of ‘routine’ they can really feel
like it’s never going to end.
One very simple thing that parents can do that is quite
inexpensive is to invest in a Grobag.
A
Grobag is a baby sleeping bag. The baby or child actually
wears this like an item of clothing. It has poppers
or zips to fasten it up. It has head and arm holes (no
sleeves). They come in a variety of different thickness
(Togs) and different sizes.
The baby or child can wiggle and jiggle as much as it
likes and the Grobag won’t come off and leave
the baby cold and likely to wake up
• The baby and especially the toddler can wake
up play, move around and then fall back to sleep without
you having to worry that their blankets have fallen
off and that they are getting cold
• There is less danger of the baby slipping down
under the covers and helps to maintain the recommended
sleeping position of ‘feet to foot’.
• The baby/child will begin to associate the Grobag
with sleep and this can certainly help settle the baby
with more success when sleeping in a strange place or
when moving from moses basket to cot to bed
• It makes it much harder for the toddler to attempt
climbing out of its cot and is useful if you want to
delay the move to a bed.
