Silicone Straw Cup

Did you know the type of cup your child regularly uses can impact their speech development?

Here are a few reasons why at My Eco Tot we like straw cups instead of sippy cups:   

Oral Musculature  (or the muscles your child uses to talk!) When children have strong oral musculature (i.e., lips, tongue, cheeks, jaw stability), they are more likely able to clearly imitate a variety of movements needed for speech sounds. This is the core for developing clear speech. Children with weak oral motor skills have a higher risk of having a speech impairment. Straw cups and open cups are one way of helping your child develop these critical muscles that they will need to produce sounds.
