Feeding Foundations:

Honey Bear Straw Cup

Great for teaching straw drinking and lip rounding.

I love this cup for transitioning babies and toddlers from bottle to straw drinking. The squeezable body allows you to gently assist with straw initiation while encouraging proper lip closure and oral motor coordination.

Cut-Out Nosey Cups

These cut-out “nosey” cups are excellent for feeding therapy because the front rim is lowered, allowing a child to drink without tipping their head back. This supports a more neutral head and neck position, which promotes safer swallowing, better airway alignment, and improved lip closure.

Open Training Cup (1–2 oz Silicone Cup)

I recommend small open cups like this for building jaw stability, lip closure, and controlled sipping. Open cup drinking supports proper oral motor development and reduces prolonged reliance on spouted cups.

 EZPZ Mini Cup + Straw Training System

This is one of my favorite tools for transitioning from open cup to straw drinking. The small size supports proper lip closure, jaw stability, and controlled sipping. I love that it allows practice with both open cup and straw skills in one system.

Silicone Suction Divided Plate

I recommend suction plates like this to support independent self-feeding while minimizing frustration from sliding dishes. The divided sections provide visual boundaries, which can be especially helpful for toddlers working on food exploration and portion awareness.

Therapy Feeding Spoons

These small therapy spoons are ideal for supporting lip closure, portion control, and improved oral awareness. The narrow bowl encourages appropriate bite size and reduces overfilling, which is especially helpful for toddlers working on coordinated spoon feeding.

Toddler Spoon & Fork Set (Short-Handled)

These short-handled utensils support developing self-feeding skills by encouraging proper grasp and improved motor control. I recommend toddler-sized utensils to promote independence while maintaining appropriate bite size and pacing.

Oral Motor and Sensory Support:

Chewy Tube

Chewy tubes can be helpful for children who need additional oral sensory input or jaw strengthening support. I use tools like this to work on graded bite strength, jaw stability, and improved oral awareness in a structured therapeutic setting.

Bite Tubes 

These bite tubes are excellent for building jaw strength, stability, and graded bite control, which are foundational skills for safe chewing and feeding. I recommend it because it provides structured resistance that supports oral motor development in a safe, therapist-guided way.

Z-Vibe Oral Stimulator

I recommend the Z-Vibe because it provides controlled vibration that helps increase oral awareness, improve sensory processing, and support lip, tongue, and jaw activation. It’s a versatile tool that can be used for desensitization, oral motor strengthening, and preparing the mouth for safer, more coordinated feeding.

Airway and Nasal Support:

Kids Saline Nasal Spray with Xylitol

Healthy nasal passages support better breathing, feeding coordination, and overall oral development. I often recommend gentle saline sprays as part of a nasal hygiene routine to support comfortable nose breathing.

Cool Mist Humidifier

Maintaining comfortable humidity levels can support nasal comfort, especially in dry climates. I often discuss environmental supports like cool mist humidifiers as part of a broader airway and breathing wellness routine.
