It is bound to happen eventually....your child drinking out of another child’s sippy cup or bottle. A child may have the same cup as your child, or a child care or nursery worker accidentally hands your child the wrong cup or bottle. There are many ways this mistake can happen.
For any normal child, no big deal, right? Just clean it off and life goes on. But if your child is allergic to the milk in that other cup (like mine is!), it could be a devastating mistake.
One way you can help prevent these mistakes is through products by Inchbug. Inchbug makes a neat product called “Orbit Labels” that are like thick rubber bands that go around sippy cups. They can be customized to your child’s name and even a small image which may help if your child is to young to recognize the letters in their name. You can put them around sippy cups and even some brands of snack cups to help prevent mix-ups. I bought them for both my kids after we had a mix-up with a cup and my son drank some dairy milk.
