ARK's Ultra Bear Bottle Kit

Kit includes: 1 easy-to-squeeze Bear Bottle, 1 Select-Flow Valve, 8 inches of special polytubing, 1 Lip Blok® (3/4"), and 12 straws. The Bear Bottle Kit is a fun and friendly way to teach straw drinking. It also makes drinking easier for children who have difficulty generating and maintaining suction. Simply squeeze the liquid to the desired height and release. The valve allows fluid to remain in the straw without flowing back into the cup, which reduces the air ingested and the effort required to drink. By keeping fluid at the top of the straw, this valve can also make the move from bottle-feeding to cup drinking an easier transition. When purchased, the valve opening is set for moderate restriction for users who tend to aspirate when taking too much fluid in one swallow. The valve can also be trimmed to increase the flow, thereby further decreasing the effort required to drink. Adjust the flow you need by cutting back the tapered stem of the valve with scissors. The Lip Blok® helps correct tongue position by discouraging tongue thrusting, biting on the straw, and/or inserting the straw too far back into the mouth. Straw colors may vary.

A great kit to get your child on the right track, 1.25.2013

Reviewer: Beth S (Hauppauge, New York)

This bottle kit really is amazing. My son was able to drink out of a straw comfortable after using this kit very quickly. I thought we would have some time ahead before he could drink from a straw especially due to his special needs. His speech therapist felt this would be the best aid for him. It really was! Well worth the money.
