When my son was born, three years ago, there were very few options with regards to BPA-free plastic bottles, sippy cups, and teethers. I had two choices, and in some ways that made the decision easy (presuming he would take those bottles). It’s amazing how much has changed in those three short years. This time around, the choices were numerous. I had my choice of bottles and cups in a variety of designs and price ranges.
New to the market is a line of bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers, and teethers designed by an Austrian company called MAM. With safety at the forefront of their designs, MAM is committed to ensuring their products are free from BPA, PVCs, Phthalates, and Lead. The company has been around for over twenty five years and elicits the expertise of pediatric dentists, developmental psychologists, and other medical experts in their design process.
Because my daughter is already accustomed to a particular brand of bottle and my son is too old for bottles, we opted to check out some of the company’s other products including their teethers, training cups, and and training brushes.
One of the things you’ll notice about MAM’s baby care products, is that they are categorized by age. A teething product designed for a newborn, isn’t necessarily appropriate for a 6 month old…and MAM recognizes that. Their teethers are colorful, soft, and ergonomic. I particularly like their Starter Teether, which clips on to a baby’s outfit for easy grasping. The Bite & Brush actually cleans teeth when a baby bites on it and the Cooler cools, soothes, and reaches incoming molars.
MAM recognizes that oral care begins long before the first tooth eruption. They have a line of brushes designed to keep a baby’s teeth clean. With ergonomic handles and a massaging head, parents and babies can start the process of regular oral care.
I will admit that my almost 3 year old son still drinks from a sippy cup from time to time, although we prefer to have him drink from a straw cup. My six month old daughter is actually at the age where she can begin to use a sippy cup, but I don’t think she’s quite ready yet. One of the things I’ve noticed about sippy cups is that some are shaped in a way that makes it difficult for babies and tots to grasp. MAM designed their cups to be ergonomic which helps babies learn to drink on their own. Their cups are made with a hard spout to prepare babies to drink from a glass and include a patented valve to prevent leaks.
MAM baby care products are reasonably priced (anywhere from $5-$10) and can be found at retailers nationwide.
