among all the cups made of materials, the glass is the healthiest.

advantages: among all the cups made of materials, the glass is the healthiest. Glass does not contain organic chemicals in the process of firing. When people drink water or other drinks from glass, they don't have to worry about chemicals being drunk into their stomachs. Moreover, the glass surface is smooth and easy to clean, and bacteria and dirt are not easy to breed on the glass wall, so it is the healthiest and safest to drink water from the glass for the baby.

Disadvantages: The glass is easily broken. If the baby holds it unsteadily, it will be easily broken. Moreover, the glass material has strong thermal conductivity, which is easy for users to burn themselves carelessly. If the water temperature is too high, the cup may burst, so it is necessary to avoid holding hot water as much as possible.

Advice to Mommy:

It's best to choose a glass with a handle, and the glass body should not be too high for the baby to take. Boil the newly bought glass with salt water. On the one hand, it can be disinfected and cleaned; on the other hand, the glass boiled with salt water is not fragile.

I use a glass to drink water myself. I think the water is pure and has no peculiar smell. Children grow up day by day. What kind of glass is good to drink at home? 7 It is said that the glass is good, but the big glass is easy to break and hurts the baby. What should I do? It suddenly occurred to me that there is a little red wine glass bought at IKEA at home, which is a bit like the little white wine glass used by the older generation, but more beautiful. I took out one for my baby, and it was just the right size in my hand. Now it is very convenient for children to drink water, and they often go to the water dispenser to get water by themselves.

Enamel Cup

Enamel Cup is easy to cause chronic lead poisoning

Advantages: Enamel Cup is a kind of ware with enamel inside and outside, which is not easy to break.

Disadvantages: The porcelain on the surface of enamel ware is composed of sodium silicate and metal salts, which contains a lot of lead and also contains toxic metal elements such as bismuth, cadmium and antimony. When storing or drinking coffee in enamel vessels, it is easy to precipitate lead in enamel vessels. Citrus acid drinks have the same function as hot coffee. Therefore, storing or drinking acidic beverages in enamel vessels will also increase the precipitation of lead in enamel vessels. Long-term use will cause chronic lead poisoning.

Suggestion for Mommy: Apart from carbonated drinks, vinegar and coffee, other foods with acidity include citrus juice, lemon juice, tomato juice, pickles, sugar water, etc. Some packaged foods with juice added with sorbic acid and benzoic acid preservatives should not use enamel cups.

Zhizhi likes to clink and beat cups, and he will be very happy when he listens to the sound of cups. But the baby is small, and he is not sure in his hand, so we chose an enamel cup for him that is not afraid of being beaten and has a good voice. Zhizhi took his small cup, whether it was clinking with us, knocking or falling to the ground, we were no longer worried.

ceramic cups

brightly colored ceramic cups are harmful to health

advantages: ceramic cups are brightly colored and beautiful, and have various shapes.

Disadvantages: The inner wall of brightly colored ceramic cups is coated with glaze. When the cups are filled with boiled water or drinks with high acidity and alkalinity, toxic heavy metal elements such as lead in these pigments are easily dissolved in the liquid, which will do harm to people.

suggestion for mommy: it is suitable to use cups with white inner walls for babies, instead of ceramic cups with colorful inner walls.

In order to make Huihui drink more water, I bought her a ceramic cup in the shape of a bear. The inside of the cup is white. Huihui couldn't put it down at first sight. In order to hold the cup in her hand for a long time, drinking water naturally became her only choice. Hehe, since she bought the bear cup, she has been able to drink several glasses of water every day.

stainless steel cup

beware of metal poisoning in stainless steel cup

advantages: stainless steel is made of Fe-Cr alloy and then doped with trace metal elements such as nickel, molybdenum, titanium and manganese. Because of its good metal performance and corrosion resistance compared with other metals, the made appliances are beautiful and durable.

Disadvantages: It has been proved that many metal elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, cadmium, manganese, titanium and their compounds have different properties and different degrees of harm to human health. If used improperly, trace metal elements in stainless steel will also accumulate slowly in human body, and when the accumulated amount reaches a certain limit, it will endanger human health.

suggestion for mommy: it can't be used to put drinks, traditional Chinese medicine, vegetable soup, etc., otherwise it will dissolve toxic metal elements.

take the baby out to play. I always bring a stainless steel cup. It is not afraid of squeezing, falling, light weight, large capacity and fast heat dissipation. Besides drinking water, you can use it as a temporary milk warmer or a container for instant noodles. It's really practical.

paper cups

disposable paper cups or hidden potential carcinogens

Advantages: paper cups have the advantages of portability, hygiene, no water absorption and no environmental pollution. It is more suitable for traveling and having guests at home. Not fragile, disposable, eliminating the trouble of cleaning.

Disadvantages: Disposable paper cups only look sanitary and convenient, but in fact, the qualified rate of products can't be judged, and whether they are clean and hygienic can't be recognized by naked eyes. From the perspective of environmental protection, disposable paper cups should be used as little as possible. Some paper cup manufacturers add a lot of fluorescent brighteners to make the cups look whiter. It is this fluorescent substance that can mutate cells and once it enters the human body, it will become a potential carcinogenic factor; Secondly, those unqualified paper cups are generally very soft, and they are easy to deform when poured into water. Some paper cups are poorly sealed and the bottom of the cup is easy to seep, which makes it easy for hot water to burn your hands. What's more, when you gently touch the inside of the paper cup with your hand, you can feel fine powder on it, and the touch of your fingers will turn white, which is a typical inferior paper cup; In addition, in order to achieve waterproof effect in the production of paper cups, a polyethylene waterproof film will be coated on the inner wall. Polyethylene is the safest chemical substance in food processing, which is difficult to dissolve in water, non-toxic and tasteless. However, if the selected materials are not good, or the processing technology is not enough, polyethylene may be oxidized to carbonyl compounds during hot melting or smearing on paper cups. Carbonyl compounds are not easy to volatilize at room temperature, but when hot water is poured into paper cups, they may volatilize, so people will smell strange smell. Long-term exposure to this organic compound is harmful to the human body.

suggestion for mommy: it is best to use cold water every inch of the day to reduce the volatilization of harmful chemicals. In addition, if the paper cup smells after being filled with water, it is deformed obviously in your hand, leaks water, etc., don't use it.

diligent mom:

When I give my baby cold boiled water or fruit juice, I will give him a paper cup, because it can save the trouble of scrubbing and disinfection, and it is light and convenient for the baby to hold, especially convenient. However, don't use paper cups when drinking hot water. It will smell and soften when it meets hot water, which is unsafe.

Plastic cups

Wrong material for plastic cups. Be careful of poisoning

Advantages: Because of its changeable shape, bright colors and no fear of being beaten, plastic cups can be taken by babies themselves or carried with them when going out.

Disadvantages: Plastic is a polymer chemical material, which often contains chemical substances such as polypropylene or PVC. When hot water or boiled water is filled in plastic cups, these chemicals can easily decompose into toxic substances, which have adverse effects on the human body. Moreover, there are many pores in the internal microstructure of plastic, in which dirt is hidden, and it is easy to breed bacteria if it is not cleaned properly.

Suggestions for Mami: When purchasing plastic cups, you must choose those made of food-grade plastics that meet the national standards.

Yima's baby is 2 years old.

My baby is over 1 year old now, and I want him to learn to use a water cup. Although I know that a glass cup is better, my baby is now in the stage of throwing things on the ground frequently, so I chose a plastic cup for him.

There is a way to choose a plastic cup. I will smell it when I buy it. If it smells when I open it, don't choose it. There is nothing wrong with a qualified cup. Secondly, the water cup is pinched by hand, and the qualified water cup has good strength and is not easy to deform by hand; Moreover, don't buy a water cup with bright patterns on the inner wall of the bottle, because the colorful patterns may release harmful heavy metals and affect the baby's health.

In fact, many parents now choose plastic cups for their babies, because they are afraid of breaking the glass and cutting it, and considering the portability and other issues. And plastics will decompose in high temperature environment, which is very subtle in our daily life, but it exists. The toxic substances of plastic decomposition are mainly dioxins and bisphenol A. These two substances will not be absorbed in the human body but will precipitate in the human body, which will have adverse effects on the human body when accumulated to a certain extent. Next, let's focus on how to choose a safe and healthy plastic children's water cup for your baby, and choose a poisonous water cup.
