Frozen fruit in mesh feeder...?

Jessis62781

Who has done this for your teething baby?  It was suggested and I'm not gonna lie, I'm nervous.  About what, I don't know.

 

If you did it, did it help?  What type of fruit did you use?

We used frozen grapes.  I kept a bowl in the freezer and would just pop 3 or 4 in the feeder as needed.

What are you nervous about?

ETA: yes, it did help. He loved it, and it was the easiest way to get him to chew on something cold. He didn't really want to hold a teether for some reason. I guess the taste of the fruit helped hold his interest.

What are you nervous about? I've used frozen apples and frozen pears. This is predominantly what I put in the feeder.

That's a fabulous idea!!!!  I have to go to target today and I'm so picking one up!

lol. Thanks.   It's zero prep (besides washing and de-stemming), which is nice. And it seemed to work well - DS would chew for a bit, and then they'd thaw a little and pop open, so he'd get the grape juice/flavor.  I'll have to remember to do it again as he starts getting more teeth.

I do this all the time! I buy the bag of Healthy Harvest Frozen fruits and give DS everything - minus the strawberries - and he LOVES it!

Thanks ladies.

 

Like I said I have NO idea why I'm nervous!  I guess I"ll be trying it tonight!

We use the mesh feeder a lot - DS's favorite is mango (well, that's his favorite anyway).  We buy bags of frozen organic mango chunks and throw them in there - it not only keeps him busy for quite a while, but it definitely seems to help with the teething pain.

We do frozen peaches quite a bit.

DD LIVES for frozen mango. I just chop one up and store the amount that would fit in one mesh feeder in individual baggies in the freezer. One mango gets me about 8-10 servings. She has it almost every night!
