I know food feeders mesh and silicon have been discussed here, but I have yet to buy one. LO is loving purees and I would like to add some more for his lunch too.
He is 7 months, and I don't want to have them make a huge mess for his nanny to have to clean-she had a horrible time with the mesh ones for her own kids leaving a giant mess.
Have I missed the time frame for these until what age do you think they are appropriate?
Re: Kidsme food feeder
IMHO, the best use of a mesh/silicone feeder is to help a teething baby. It gives them something to gnaw on. It's not really for nutrition. They just get the flavor of something and the satisfaction of pressing against their gums.
Also, they're not all that messy, and even if they were, that's what the baby food process is - messy. I'm a little perplexed that any nanny caring for a baby would have an issue with cleaning messes. It's par for the course. My nanny has happily dealt with diaper blowouts, food smeared on baby and every surface within arm's reach, etc. As far as the teethers go, my girl makes a much bigger mess with the sticky mushy reside of a teething biscuit than she does with a mesh feeder.
