[blparent] sippy sure

[Tammy]

Hi,

I would stear clear of this cup.  Firstly because it's way too expensive, for that price you could get a whole bunch of sippy cups.  Secondly because mixing most medacins with any other liquid is a very bad idea because the medacins can be broken down by the liquid especially if it has sugar in it like juice does.  Also, this cup seems impractical for those parents who are blind, because it might be hard to tell how much of the actual medacin a child takes.  A better idea would be to use a large eye dropper or ceringe to give medacin, that way you can be sure the child has taken it all.  If you do this from the beginning, the child will learn that medacin doesn't get administered in a cup, and will not, as the article on the link below suggests, have any issues with certain cups in certain situations.

Hi,

I was talking with a friend who saw a review of a interesting product on our
local news.  I went online and found it's website, the link is provided
below.  Apparently it is a sippy cup which makes giving oral liquid medicine
to toddler's easier and sure to see that the child gets all the medicine.  I
may actually buy one to check out first hand.  The sippy sure is going for
about $8.99 on ebay.
