Mesh feeders

AimeeL85

I can't remember at what age I gave my son the mesh feeders with fruit in them...but I remember he loved them!  If you started already, when did you do it?  We started solids at 6 months, so less than a month ago, but I would think they're safe enough to start anytime now, right?

We started using it around 5 months.  LO loves eating fruit from it.  I think you are good to go because the LO is just sucking juice, they aren't eating anything.

We started around five months with frozen breast milk. It feels good on his gums and I'm giving him some extra nutrition.

We tried at 6 months, but she wasn't interested in holding it herself.  I tried again at 7 months and it went much better.  Now at 9 months, I give her a mesh feeder with frozen fruit almost every afternoon, I call it a Popsicle.

I get cubed frozen mango pieces and put them in. He loves it! I also froze bananas in it which was great for his first round of teething. Watermelon is fun too - but very messy!

My dd loves watermelon in them she sucks it til it's a tiny piece. It is a little messy but nothing a bib can't handle. We have been using them for about two weeks now.

Our daughter is 6 1/2 months old and so far all we've tried is banana which she loves.  I do have a question for those who do the frozen foods, do you boil or steam them first?  I have freshly picked peaches which I plan to bake and then puree but I want to freeze a few slices first for her mesh feeder.  So should I bake, slice and freeze those peaches or is it safe for her to just each frozen slices that weren't baked or steamed?

I waited until DS stated solids at 6 months. He isn't interested in pureed foods at all, but I put some food in the mesh feeders and he's all over it! He's tried pretty much everything - raw fruit, cereals, meat. They're great!
