So many questions from parents about the 360 cup! Let’s be honest, we’ve all bought them! But after watching toddlers drink from a 360 and paying close attentio...n to the motor patterns and muscle flexion and/or bracing oh my, I think I’ll just skip it. Why? Because kids do best with feeding tools that create muscle balance. We want facial muscles to work collaboratively with one another because those adorable faces are GROWING! The skull and facial bones are growing, the muscles are growing, the whole body is growing. Imagine if a toddler over-used one muscle in their arm. Would it impact motor skills in the arm or perhaps even bone growth? Possibly. My point I don’t want kids drinking from anything that creates a quirky way of drinking. I want kids drinking from open cups and straw cups that are developmentally appropriate and SUPPORT typical development. I have however, used the 360 cup as a TOOL to help kids learn to hold their tongue in the correct position for open cup drinking. Confused? Check out my YouTube video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHWOXhLjYrE and be sure to check out my stories today so I can demonstrate what happens with this cup. Missed the stories? No worries, they are in my highlights on Instagram! Note: For kids in feeding therapy, there is always an exception to a rule, but in general, I stick to open cups or straw cups unless medical reasons dictate otherwise. #360cup #melaniepotock #sippycups #parentingtoddlers #feedinglittles #mylittleeater #slp #pediatricfeedingspecialists #feedingtherapy #opencup #strawdrinking #straws #parentingadvices
