Expert opinion
Drinking through a straw helps children develop an increasingly mature way of sucking and swallowing. A drinking straw also strengthens the muscles of the lips, tongue and cheeks. By drinking through a straw, children can practise a mature swallowing pattern that will enable them to drink and eat healthily and safely in the future.
Correct positioning of the tongue muscles will help with proper swallowing and, later, articulation without myofunctional problems. Drinking through a straw stimulates and strengthens the orbicularis oris muscle, while correct, symmetrical positioning of the straw between the upper and lower lips also influences tongue symmetry. Drinking from a bottle stimulates fine motor skills and hand-to-mouth coordination, and supports correct tongue and lip movement patterns during swallowing.
