B.Box Kids Drinking Bottle Here at Small Smart, we know that kids can be messy. Many water bottles out there have intricate designs or fancy straw systems, but when it actually comes down to it they often spill when dropped or bumped. Therefore our collection of durable and long-lasting  kids water bottles with straws are designed to be leakproof making them the perfect bottles for little ones who are always on the go! How much water should my child be drinking every day? It's recommended that children drink water every single day as it helps to keep their bodies hydrated and functioning properly which can greatly encourage both mental and physical development. If your child is active, they will likely need more water than if they are inactive. And hot weather or strenuous activities can also increase the need for additional fluids. If your child doesn't like drinking water, Small Smart’s collection of water bottles with straws are a great way to get your child drinking more liquids. The sleek designs and fun patterns mean your little one will be more excited to carry their bottle with them wherever they go and if this doesn’t persuade them (we doubt it) try adding some flavor to their water with slices of their favourite fruit or cucumbers! B.Box Sippy Cup 240ml How to clean a kid's water bottle with straw?  There are a few different ways to effectively clean your kids water bottle and attached straw to ensure maximum hygiene. It is recommended that you wash the water bottle every day that it is used with soap and warm water. This is especially important if you include fruit slices or flavour drops in your water as the bottle can become sticky and unhygienic. Rinse out with clear water, and drain thoroughly. To prevent bacteria growing, allow the water bottle to dry thoroughly overnight before reusing or putting it away into the cupboard. At least once a week, follow the washing and rinsing with a sanitising step. Sanitise with a dilute cleaning solution appropriate for kitchenware will ensure that no dirt or bacteria is in the water bottle or stuck in the straw. Again, allow the bottle to thoroughly air-dry after washing. As a bonus tip, use a soft bottle brush to really ensure that you get all parts of the bottle during the cleaning process or if suitable, put the bottle with straw into the dishwasher. If the bottle is dishwasher safe and you choose this method of cleaning, make sure that you place the bottle on the top rack and that you do not put it in with any other dishes that have sharp edges, as this could damage the bottle or straw. 3 Sprouts Kids Water Bottle

How do Anti-Colic Bottles Work?

For expectant parents, you may have noticed special bottles called ‘Anti-Colic’ bottles, but what do they actually do? Colic is something most babies will experience and can be a big challenge for parents. Especially if you’re first time mums and dads. In this SmartSmall article, we will look at how Anti-Colic bottles work, how they can prevent your baby from becoming colic-y and how they improve the wellbeing of your child. But first… What is colic? All babies cry. Everyone knows that. However, colic is different. If your little one is crying for more than 3 hours a day and you can’t understand why they may have colic, While most parents can normally deduce if your child needs their nap changed or is hungry, colic is when your baby cries a lot more, but there is no apparent reason why. It is a condition that can make your baby uncomfortable, and it can be difficult to provide them with relief. Here are some common symptoms of colic, besides excessive crying without a clear reason: Unable to soothe or settle your baby Your baby clenches their fists. Their faces become red. They bring their knees up to their abdomens or arch their backs. Unsettled stomach or they’re very windy Your baby could be oversensitive or overstimulated by light or noise. While there is no exact cause for colic, many believe it is caused by trapped wind consumed during a feeding. This air builds up in their stomach, causing discomfort. This is why colic can be a huge challenge, especially for first-time parents. While a messy nappy or being hungry are issues mum and dad can work out quite quickly, it can be difficult to work out the exact cause of your child’s colic. How can anti-colic bottles prevent colic? Anti-Colic Bottles are designed to allow air to enter the bottle as your baby feeds. This reduces the amount of air they swallow while allowing an even flow during feedings. When using a traditional bottle, air can slip through your baby’s lips and the bottle's nipple. This can build up in the stomach. This may be a cause for colic and cause your child discomfort. This is done by designing anti-colic teats. These are made to both mimic a natural breast as well as reduce the amount of air swallowed. This can be done in a number of ways. One is by adding an additional hole in the nipple, which allows air to pass into the bottle without disrupting feeding. There is a wide range of anti-colic bottles and accessories available for parents to help prevent colic.
