Sip Support Need support for your child’s bottle-to-cup transition? Hegen’s PCTO All-Rounder Cup ($33) is a spoutless training cup that allows babies 12 months and up to sip from anywhere around the rim. The soft silicone disc is gentle on sensitive gums while the flow of water is regulated effectively for easy sipping with reduced chances of gagging or swallowing air. This simulation also helps your little one hone the fine motor skills needed for independent drinking. The All-Rounder Cup can be changed to a straw cup, snack container or drinking bottle by switching lids. Available fromHegen’s retail locations and online at hegen.com/shop , Lazada and Shopee.
