[blparent] Spoon feeding infants

[Brandy W]

The mesh feeders mainly give them the juice from the fruit not the actual
nutrients. I do like the boon spoon, but it only works for stage 1 and some
stage 2 food. I purchased a kiddopotamus bib that is rubber can be washed in
the sink, and has a large pocket that actually stays open. I like a very
small tipped spoon, have to make sure not to get too much food on the spoon,
and then I feed away. Quite often all I need to do is a quick wet washcloth
to clean them up because most of the mess ends up in the bib that I can then
just rinse out. I also have discovered the thicker the food of course
depending on what they can handle the easier it is to feed.

Hope that helps,

Bran

Actually when you feed them through the mesh feeders they mash and suck and
the food does come out and they eat it.  I have used them with my son.  I
tried the (boon spoon) mentioned in another e-mail and those work okay. 
There are also bottles that when you push the bottom up the food comes out
on a spoon, those work okay too.  But the best thing I've found is to just
use a spoon and deal with the mess.  The baby will get better about eating
and the mess will get better too.

That is a device for teething, not for feeding. It is purposely designed to
be difficult for your child to have difficulty actually getting the food out
of it. This doesn't strike me as the most nutritional thing to be doing,
because I doubt the child is really getting much out of it other than the
taste.
