Mesh Teething Feeders (andreahshields)

I love this thing! We just tried it out for the first time yesterday. I put a couple baby carrots in there but she didn't seem to care for it. Today I peeled a couple grapes and put those in there and she loved it! I'm guessing I can put any kind of fruit or veggie in these, does anybody use these or have suggestions for other foods to try?

    Cantaloupe is a great idea!  I was thinking it might be better to put something juicy in there.  I figured that's why she didn't really care for the carrots.  She has two little teeth on the bottom, but she'll probably need a few more teeth before she enjoys those carrots.  THANKS!

    Oh!  I don't know why I didn't even think of cooking the carrots!  Thanks, daylights!  I'll have to give some of those a try.  I like the idea of frozen peaches for teething, too.

    Also, @Bumgellica216 and @daylights1, are these the type of silicone feeders you have?

    We have the mesh feeder, too. It is a bit of a pain to clean, but not that bad... We have put in different types of melon- watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches- fresh and frozen, nectarines, and ice cubes. We don't use it as much now as we used to. We are going with more of a BLW approach, so now I just give the food directly to him. Though the mesh feeder is great for when I am busy doing other stuff and can't be right there watching like a hawk while he eats. Like when I am cooking dinner!

    When W was around the same age, he would only eat pureed peas and spinach out of this thing because he didn't like the texture of the skins/leaves, and this basically strained it all out.  I put a chunk of frozen puree (any kind) in there and C goes to town. 
    I love this idea too!  I hadn't thought of putting a frozen food chunk in there.  Thanks!

    My nanny bought the mesh one so I will try it, but I may see about the other one too. I have not tried any food yet, but she recommended frozen fruits for teething.

    I used these with my boys. I did frozen and cold fruits and veggies too to help with teething.
