The SoftCup is ideal for the short-term feeding babies and even when introducing soups and dl water. Also for babies with sucking difficulties. It avoids nipple confusion and is thus considered (by professional lactation consultants) better than a bottle for those formula feeds for a mixed feed baby. With its soft, spoon-shaped mouthpiece it is an easy and gentle way to feed. The amount of milk the baby takes can be easily tracked and controlled.
