I hate to complain about the weather again, but it is STILL hot! So I have been trying to keep O hydrated with formula. She is allowed to drink water, but the doctor says she might as well drink formula for its added nutritive value.We started teaching her how to drink from the sippy cup. She loves to use it, but ends up making a mess. She chews on the spout with her one tooth, and grins and lets the liquid dribble out of her mouth. She then looks up at us with the sideways "gamine" look ;-)
Auntie N bought her a Sigg water bottle for when she is a little older. The high quaility bottles are made in Switzerland. Each bottle is extruded from ONE piece of aluminum disc. It is then cleaned with environmentally friendly agent. The inside of the bottle is then sprayed with chemically-inert enamel, similar to the ceramic stove top found on many electric ranges. After some cosmetic maneuvering, the leak-proof top is lastly added as the final touch. See here for an animated description of the process.
The Sigg bottles come in many sizes and shapes. There is even a line for "kidz." The enamel inner coating is perfect for juices or any other liquids for your little one because there is no leaching of metal particles to worry about.
As a side note, our middle hound child, F, is actually bred by our good Swiss friend, A.K. Hence the nickname, Greater Swiss Mountain Beagle. We hope to take O to Switzerland and visit A.K. for her birthday one day. Wouldn't it be nice to spend her birthday learning how to ski in the Swiss Alps?
