Jul. 16, 2005 - A Handy Dandy Baby Feeder

Here is a wonderful little tool for feeding babies - the Baby Safe feeder!:

I have used one of these for all of my babies once they were old enough to start eating fresh fruit. You just unscrew the mesh bag from the handle, fill it with fruit, screw it back on and hand it to baby. They can then gnaw away to their heart's content and you don't have to worry about them choking! Especially nice filled with frozen fruit when they are teething!

I have not seen these available in too many stores, but I found mine at Babies R Us. One Step Ahead also carries them.

Note: Bannanas and fresh Strawberries are NOT the easiest fruits to clean out of mesh! Therefore you get the added bonus of a lesson in patience and thoroughness.

Another Note: Blueberries have been a popular choice for my babies as they clean out of the mesh easily and are a wonderfully tasty, healthy fruit. However, baby, and everything else within arms reach of said baby, will be a lovely shade of purple when said baby is through with said blueberries.
