Buying tips
- Blend until fully smooth and thin with liquid as needed; fibrous chunks can block any straw.
- Disassemble and wash straws promptly after dairy- or fruit-based drinks so residue does not dry inside.
- Use a seated, supervised drinking routine and choose a cup volume that matches the child’s usual intake.
