Doidy Mini Cup

The free-flow, open feeding cup for newborns and infants.

Doidy Mini Cup – Supporting Healthy Oral Development from Birth

The Doidy Mini Cup is designed for controlled, open-cup feeding from birth, allowing parents to safely introduce liquids such as breast milk, formula, or supplements to newborns using a cup as an alternative method. Its iconic slanted design provides better visibility and control, making feeding easier and reducing spills. The Mini Cup also supports the early transition to independent, open cup drinking, eliminating the need for teats or spouts and encouraging healthier oral development from an earlier age.

Fostering speech growth by supporting correct oral posture.

Drinking from an open cup encourages babies to develop proper tongue, jaw, and lip movements, essential for speech formation. Unlike bottles and sippy cups, which promote sucking, the Doidy Mini Cup allows for natural sipping, supporting oral muscle development that lays the foundation for clear speech.

Easy, safe and controlled feeding.

The small size of the Doidy Mini Cup allow parents to control the liquid flow, making feeding gentle, safe, and mess-free. The oblique shape provides better visibility of the liquid level, helping to reduce spills and create a more comfortable feeding experience for both baby and caregiver. The millilitre markings on the side help parents in measuring and estimating liquid amounts, ensuring precise and controlled feeding.

Early transition to open cup drinking.

The Doidy Mini Cup is designed to help babies become familiar with open-cup drinking, making the transition to independent drinking easier and earlier. It also serves as an alternative feeding method for babies who refuse bottles or prefer not to breastfeed. Introducing open-cup drinking early helps develop independent drinking skills, making mealtimes smoother and more natural while fostering lifelong healthy oral habits.

Better for teeth – no teats or spouts.

Dentists recommend open, free-flow cups instead of bottles, teats, and spouts to help prevent prolonged sucking habits that may affect oral development. A key concern is baby bottle tooth decay, which happens when liquids—especially milk or juice—settle around the teeth, increasing the likelihood of cavities. Early tooth decay can result in long-term dental problems, such as further cavities and misalignment of permanent teeth. Introducing an open cup early on can help lower these risks and promote better oral health.
