Bebina Weaning Bottle – Light Blue – 240ml +6 M

A 240 ml weaning bottle with a soft spout for babies transitioning from a teat to a cup, around 6+ months. In light blue. Bebina is a regional baby-care brand carrying a complete feeding-and-soothing range feeding bottles, weaning bottles, silicone pacifiers, pacifier clips, baby spoon-feeders, a medicine dispenser and a manual nasal aspirator.

– Soft silicone spout easier than a hard spout for the transition from teat
– Anti-slip handles or grip-friendly body supports baby’s first independent drinking
– Spill-resistant valve minimises mess during the learning phase
– BPA-free; food-safe materials

Benefits:
– 240 ml capacity full toddler-water-bottle volume
– Soft silicone spout bridges the gap between teat and open cup
– Spill-resistant limits dribbling and spills as baby learns to tilt
– Easy-grip body for small hands
– Suitable from 6 months when baby is starting solids and transitioning off the bottle
– Top-rack dishwasher safe; sterilisable

– Bottle-to-cup transition (typically starts at 6 months, completes by 12-18 months)
– Water and weaning meals diluted juice, water, expressed milk during the day
– Travel and outings easier to pack than an open cup

How to Use:
Sterilise before first use. Fill with water, diluted juice, or expressed milk. Hand the bottle to baby; sit them upright in a high chair or your lap. Demonstrate the action most babies pick up tilting in a few sessions. For first attempts, fill only halfway and let baby explore. Always supervise.

Precautions:
– The spill-resistant valve reduces but doesn’t eliminate spills supervise on furniture
– Don’t fill with hot liquids silicone spouts soften with heat; warm liquids only
– Inspect the spout regularly; replace if torn, stretched, or showing wear
– Don’t leave a baby unattended with any bottle
– Wean from this onto an open cup by 18-24 months extended bottle use can affect tooth development

Q&A:
Q: Why a weaning bottle and not just a regular bottle?
A: A regular bottle teat encourages a sucking motion. The weaning spout encourages a sipping motion closer to drinking from a cup. It’s a stepping stone between the teat (newborn) and an open cup (toddler).

Q: When should I move from this to an open cup?
A: Around 12-18 months, gradually offer water in an open cup at meals. Most children master open-cup drinking by 18-24 months. Sippy/spill-proof cups CAN delay this skill, so introduce open-cup practice early at supervised meals.

Q: My baby refuses the spout what do I do?
A: Try a softer spout (silicone is softer than hard plastic). Offer when baby is thirsty but not crying. Demonstrate the action babies learn by watching. Some babies skip weaning bottles entirely and go straight from teat to open cup; that’s fine too.
