Beckicklesie is one of our favourite family blogs. Written primarily by mum of 1 Beckickles, it tackles parenting and general family life as well as posts about mental health and supports charitable causes such as The Madison Allan Appeal, Mind, Bliss and Breastfeeding Awareness. To create the perfect balance the blog also features light-hearted posts with a spotlight on the latest fashions, quirky must-haves. Reviews are also a feature as well as the wonderful culinary contributions from her partner Cheffy Daddy.

We are very pleased to share with you this review of our Twist N’Pop Straw Cup which has been featured on the Beckicklesie blog today. The review focusses on  the importance of giving the right kind of cup to your child to encourage good oral health and speech development.

“TwistN’Pop is fab as the hygienic pop-up straw is slim (recommended for children’s mouths) and it doesn’t require any pushing action from the roof of the mouth to the tongue to release the fluid – these types of cups are known as teated beaker cups. The NHS recommends against these and suggests that parents’ either opt for a free flow cup or a standard straw beaker; the TwistN’Pop fits this specification.

The teated advanced toddlers cups can lead to, ‘…delay[ed] speech development and damage[d] teeth, especially if they’re drinking a sweetened drink.’ (NHS, 2009) this is due to the slow movement of liquid from the container to the child’s mouth.

The standard straw fitted to the Born Free abolishes this issue.”
