Yes…the time has come! In between my Holiday Gift Guide, I’ll be posting about THE latest baby products on the market, in prep for our baby girl due in a little more than 9 weeks (due to the scheduled C section!). I can’t believe that several months ago (or so), I was STRUGGLING to get my son to ditch the bottle and take a sippy cup. Yes, I was one of those parents who allowed their child to hold onto the bottle for way too long.
Speaking of sippy cups, when is the right time to introduce one? My pediatrician recommends waiting until a baby is able to sit up and hold an object with both hands (around 6 months of age). And complete weaning should be done between 12-18 months. So maybe this time around I’ll be more diligent. Fortunately, I’m getting some help with Thermos‘ new Foogo Phases drinkware. The line is a brand new line featuring interchangeable parts that fit all Phases cups. Featuring three phases and 2 colors (for boys and girls), the line offers products made from BPA-free Eastman Tritan copolyester and stainless steel. Thankfully, the cups are impact-resistant since babies and toddlers just love throwing things when they’re done with them (ahem!). Each of the cups are contoured for tiny hands to hold (the Phase 1 products come with a removable handle). My son should be off of the sippy cup by now and drinking from a cup or a straw, but again I’m dragging my feet! I’m most impressed with how durable the cups are…and the fact that they don’t leak! My number one complaint with sippy cups is that most leak (I have a toddler who will FIND a way to make them leak!).
There are three Foogo Phases…for babies and tots over 6 months (soft spout), over 12 months (hard spout), and over 18 months (straw). The interchangeable lid and body systems allow parents the option of 24 drinkware combinations. I really like the stainless steel-made cups because they keep liquids cool for 6-10 hours (it’s double-wall vacuum-insulated). Once your child moves to the next stage, you can simply interchange the lids (rather than buying a whole new set of sippy cups).
Foogo Phases products are available at retailers nationwide and retail for approximately $15.99 each.

Oooooo…those Foogo sippys are kinda cool looking! Are they insulated??
My girls always found a way to make all of their cups leak also. I’m sure my son will as well. *sigh*
I love all the products from Thermos!! I was really lucky to win two water bottle from them and they are amazing!! And NO leaking… and I drop things all the time, because I have nerve damage in my neck & hands.
I like the look of the stainless too and the fact that they are insulated to keep stuff cool.
As for keeping your son on the bottle too long, and keeping him on the sippy too long, don’t worry…. each kid works on their own pace. Things will work out terrific when the baby comes along and he becomes the “big” brother. You will all be just fine!! You are a great mother, I can see it in the pictures of his smile!!
