“We’ve been using the Élhée straw cup for a few weeks now for our 9-month-old daughter, and we love it. The weighted straw is really practical: she can drink no matter what position she’s holding the cup in, even lying down in the stroller!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
From what age can you use Coconut Élhée?
The Coconut is recommended from 9 months, when the child begins to refine their coordination and shows a desire to hold a cup on their own.
At this age, they are developing their fine motor skills, their ability to sip, and their ability to control the flow.
The Coconut allows for a smooth transition after the Bubble (5/6 months), thanks to the sensory continuity of Élhée medical-grade silicone, and represents a key step toward independence.
What is a weighted straw, and why is it useful?
The weighted straw has a small, discreet medical-grade silicone weight that keeps the straw submerged in the liquid, even when baby tilts or turns the cup.
This means:
– easy sipping at any time, even when the cup is no longer full;
– less frustration for your child;
– a natural, gradual way to learn to sip, essential for gradually replacing the bottle or sippy cup.
Is the Coconut cup suitable for breastfed or sensitive babies?
Yes. The soft, flexible straw respects the oral physiology of a breastfed baby.
It allows for gentle sipping, with no effort or excessive pressure on the palate.
The velvety texture of the medical-grade silicone, with no taste or odor, helps avoid the refusals common in babies who are sensitive to new textures.
The transition happens naturally, with no sensory disruption.
Why do healthcare professionals recommend straw cups?
Professionals recommend straw cups because they stimulate the development of oral motor skills:
– strengthening the muscles of the mouth;
– improving hand-eye coordination;
– better management of mouth breathing (useful for speaking and chewing);
– preparation for the future use of water bottles and glasses.
The Coconut, with its flexible straw, perfectly supports this development.
Is the Coconut leak-proof?
Yes. The fold-down lid protects the straw and greatly reduces the risk of leaks, even when in motion.
The mechanism has been designed to provide optimal safety in a crib, stroller, or bag.
It also protects the straw from dust or dirt, making it an ideal everyday companion.
Can it be used as a mini water bottle?
Yes. Thanks to its compact size, leak-proof cap and weighted straw, the Coconut can be used as a mini water bottle from 9 months.
It goes with baby in the stroller, the car, to the park or daycare.
Its medical-grade silicone material ensures a soft and secure grip, with no risk of shattering.
Is the Coconut compatible with Élhée baby bottles?
Yes. The Coconut uses the same medical-grade silicone base as Élhée baby bottles.
This allows the child to maintain the same sensory cues, making every transition easier:
– nipple for the baby bottle,
– Bubble spout for the first sips,
– Coconut straw for independence.
The modular system means you can buy fewer items and support your child over several months.
What is the straw in the Coconut cup made of? Is it safe for babies?
The Coconut is made of premium medical-grade silicone, a safe and durable material used in hospital settings.
It is guaranteed to be free of BPA, PVC, phthalates, and endocrine disruptors.
It is heat-resistant, hygienic, non-porous, and does not absorb odors or colors.
All plastic components do not come into contact with the liquid.
How do I clean the Coconut cup?
The cup is completely dishwasher-safe (top rack).
It comes with a fine brush designed to thoroughly clean the straw.
Medical-grade silicone is easy to clean thanks to its non-porous nature, which limits bacterial growth.
For quicker cleaning: disassemble the straw and rinse immediately after use.
What is the difference between Bubble and Coconut?
La Bubble (5/6 months) is designed for first sips, with a spill-proof spout.
It helps baby manage the tilt and the flow of sips.
La Coconut (9 months) introduces the straw, which is essential for developing sucking, advanced coordination, and oro-facial motor skills.
La Coconut is therefore the natural next step to encourage greater independence.
Is Coconut made in France?
Yes. The Coconut is made in France with partners selected for their expertise and the quality of their processes.
French manufacturing guarantees a high level of standards, compliance with strict regulations, and full transparency regarding the materials used.
Why choose a medical-grade silicone cup instead of plastic?
Medical-grade silicone is the safest material for babies:
– safe and hypoallergenic;
– no particle migration;
– heat-resistant;
– soft and flexible, which reassures children;
– long-lasting.
It is far more reliable than traditional plastics, especially for sucking products.
Why is the Coconut ideal for autonomy?
The Coconut is ideal for independence because it combines:
– intuitive handling;
– a flexible straw that adapts to the child's pace;
– an easy-to-use lid;
– a steady flow, even on the move;
– a reassuring sensory experience.
This allows the child to drink alone with confidence, at their own pace.
