Mesh Feeder ?

I had to google it, never heard of it! So from what I've read, you just put fruits in here for babies to learn how to chew, but they don't ever actually eat the food that is in it? Should it be used only for fruits?

How interesting!

I had them for my DS when he was starting on solids but not ready to chew. You can put watermelon, apples, bananas etc and the mush it with their mouths. They get yummy fruit minus the choking hazard.

they kind of do eat it, cause they mash the food in the feeder and it squeezes out through the mesh. The kids basically make things into purees on their own I've put things like cucumbers, orange and apple slices, bananas, figs, etc. in there. They are crazy messy and so I only let the kids have them in the high chairs with bibs on now. 

A friend of mine just emailed me a link to some by nuby (I think) on Amazon and the mesh is disposable/replaceable versus the munchkin ones which kind of skeeve me out. I am replacing ours with the others cause they are getting gnarly and I like the idea of changing the mesh out. HTH!

We also put frozen fruits, frozen chunks of yogurt tubes or even ice cubes in them when teething to soothe gums!

I had put those on my registery and only used them a few times...I didn't really care for them and found them hard to clean, but from other posters it seems like it worked well for them so who knows.

We used them with fruits as well.  We put watermelon and peaches.  One baby just sucked the juice out.  The other managed to empty the mesh.  : )  After about a wk, we just gave them the fruits individually, and have since.  That was at about 7 mo.
