When can you introduce it? TIA!

As soon as you can introduce the food you're putting inside.

I started at about 7 months when DD started showing interest in the foods we were eating. We gave her grapes, apples, carrots, & broccoli at first, then started experimenting with some other things later on.

Then what's the purpose of the mesh?? I've heard of it and knew the purpose (I thought), but that doesn't make sense to me.

The mesh is there to prevent choking on whole pieces of food.

OK, stupid question here....are you cooking those foods before putting them in the mesh feeder? Apples and carrots are pretty hard to chew, esp. if they don't have teeth yet (like DS).

My DD wasn't so fond of banana when I mashed it up with a little liquid, but she loves when I give her a chunk of banana in the mesh feeder. ?She knaws (sp?) on it and sucks all of the pieces. ?It is actually quite gross, but she loves it. ?It is a PITA to clean!

I actually cook, then freeze slices of fruit to put in it. Works wonders on bad teething days.

Jennessey, love this idea!

We steam the carrots & broccoli before putting it in the feeder, but not the apples. Most of the time they are straight from the fridge and she just sucks the juice off of them and loves the cold on her gums while she's teething. This is assuming she's not having a day where she's refusing apples. ?

We freeze pureed baby food in ice trays and put the cubes in the feeder. We do this with diluted juice, too (although that makes a BIG mess as the cubes melt). Great for teething.

Our ice cube trays make cubes that are too big for our (munchkin) feeders, though, so I have to fill them only half full so they'll fit inside.
