ARK's Bear Bottle Kit for Straw Drinking

Honey Bear Bottle Straw Drinking Kit by ARK Therapeutic

ARK's Bear Bottle is a fun and friendly way to make drinking easier for beginners and/or children with oral motor difficulties. The Honey Bear Bottle Kit is an excellent way to transition babies straight from bottles to straw drinking, as straws promote better oral and tongue positioning. Avoid using sippy-type cups altogether!

The Bear Bottle features a unique valve that controls the direction of fluid - liquid flows up into the straw, but does not flow back down. Simply squeeze the bear's belly until fluid reaches the top of the straw and release - fluid will stay at the top of the straw, thereby decreasing the effort required to drink.

ARK’s Bear Bottle is recommended for individuals who tend to aspirate or have difficulties generating and maintaining suction.

ARK’s Bear Bottle Kit includes -

• An easy-to-squeeze Honey Bear Bottle with a snap-close cap
• A Select-Flow Valve
• 2 x 8 inches (20cm) of polytubing straw (reusable)
• 1 Yellow Lip Blok® Straw Topper (3/4")
• Instructions on how to teach straw drinking.

The Bear Bottle holds approximately 8 ounces of fluid (225ml). The bottle measures approximately 2" x 2.5" x 6" (5cm x 6cm x 15cm)

Made from medical grade materials that are FDA compliant - free from BPA, latex, lead, phthalates and PVC

Please Note -

• Not recommended for carbonated beverages
• Recommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc)
• If you're using thickened liquids, in general for most thickener brands: "nectar" consistency works fine. If you trim the tapered end of the valve to open up the flow, "honey" will work but will be harder to suck through the straw. "Pudding" does not work, as it's too thick to drink through even a regular straw without a valve
• Compatible with most standard 0.25" diameter straws
