TalkTools® Honey Bear Small
The TalkTools Honey Bear Small is a therapist-controlled straw drinking cup that allows precise management of liquid flow into a child's mouth, making it a foundational tool for teaching straw drinking and developing oral motor skills. Its squeezable body and flexible straw let therapists deliver controlled liquid boluses to build lip rounding, tongue retraction, and straw drinking coordination. Widely used to support the transition from bottle feeding or sippy cup use to independent cup drinking, it comes with a replacement straw and the original TalkTools instruction booklet. For comprehensive clinical training on straw hierarchy programs, see TalkTools CEU courses.

My daughter has refused to take a bottle since birth. After turning 6 months old, we had a feeding crisis where she was having trouble nursing. She still refused a bottle. We got her into OT feeding services, and they introduced us to the Honey Bear with straw cup. She took to it so quickly and is mastering sucking with the straw. She can now get supplemental nutrition via her honey bear as necessary. It’s so easy for her to use, and the ability to assist the sucking process for little ones by squeezing the liquid up into the straw is so helpful. Highly recommend this tool if you’re wanting to help your little one figure out straw feeding!

So glad I chose this to introduce my 9 month old tO a straw cup. He loves it and took to it right away. Also, shipping was insanely fast despite being holiday season.

It is a great that a smaller size was made for younger kiddos. This encourages them to hold the bear.

I always give new clients and his/her parents the Honey Bear on their first visit! I request that they encourage his/her child to use this!
