Frequently asked questions

It's a good idea to teach your baby to drink on his own from a cup or training cup from about seven months, so that he picks up new sucking and swallowing movements. Difrax has a complete range of cups to make the move from bottle to cup as easy as possible. We developed this range with the help of a paediatrician and a speech therapist.

The soft spout is best for moving on from the bottle to baby's first cup, because this spout is flexible. If your baby bites the spout when drinking, it would be better to choose the hard spout.

Difrax non-spill cups are skittle-shaped (conical) because that shape encourages a natural posture for drinking. The shape means that babies do not have to bend their necks so far back, making drinking easier and relieving the neck muscles.

Yes. In the Difrax cup with straw the non-spill system is in the straw. Drink comes out when the child sucks on the straw; otherwise, nothing comes out.

In the other Difrax non-spill cups the non-spill system is in the lid. These non-spill cups have a valve with two settings: slow (for slow drinkers or thin drinks) and fast (for fast drinkers or thick drinks).

Yes, all the parts can be bought separately from the webshop.

This training cup makes it easier for young children to learn to drink from a cup. The cut-away for the nose encourages the right posture when drinking, as the child can drink with his head up straight instead of bending backwards. This makes it easier to swallow. The cup is transparent, so you can see how your child is getting on with his or her drink.
