Thanks.  I found the mesh things to put whole foods in but haven't found the 
spoons, I'm going to look online.

Hi,
If this hasn't been said already, the spoon is the boon squirt spoon if my 
memory serves me right.
Hth, and have a great week!

In Christ, Miranda

Hi Peggy,

It's pretty normal to get food everywhere when feeding little ones, so don't 
worry when it happens.  smile  The consistency of the food, and the movement 
of the baby make it almost impossible not to make a mess.  I actually found 
feeding my babies on my lap worked well because I could monitor where their 
head was and get the food pretty much in their mouths most of the time.  If 
you're just starting cereal, you could get one of those squeezey spoons, 
sorry I can't remember the name of the one I had, but they work well if 
you're just starting out.  Maybe someone on the list knows what I'm talking 
about and can provide you with the name of the spoon.  But basically it's a 
baby spoon at one end and a rubber bulb that's about twice the size of a 
nasal aspirator at the other end.  This bulb screws off and you put food 
inside it, about 3 ounces I'd say.  Then you put the spoon back on and when 
you squeeze the bulb end it squeezes food on to the spoon.  This allows you 
to feed the baby with one hand and there's less mess because there's no 
bowl.  I used one for my last baby and we both loved it.  It's not something 
you'd want to use for a long time, but when they're just getting the hang of 
the spoon, and eating pureed fruit and cerial, it helps a bit.

hth

I asked this question on another list but thought I’d ask again on here. 
Always good to get different opinions.  How did you feed your babies baby 
food?  My son is almost six months old and we started feeding him baby food 
about a month ago.  I think I get more of it on his face and clothes then I 
do in his mouth, lol.  Any suggestions??  I should have expert answers on 
how to do this as my two older kids were fed and survived but I think with 
them I got more everywhere too.  Any thoughts would be helpful!!

Peggy
