I spent a ridiculous amount of money on this mini baby Popsicle mold, but it was so worth it! DS looooooves them, and they really help cool him off in this heat. They're the perfect size, they pop right out of the molds, and they don't break off in his mouth.
The one he's eating in the pic is peas and carrots and it's also a great way to use up extra purées you may have around like I do since we mostly practice BLW and just use purées to flavor oats, yogurt, etc.
Omg these are so adorable! DS is always starting at my popsicles and I never let him try them cuz of all the sugar so I love the idea of his own with the purees. Not sure if he'd be able to eat them on his own but it would be adorable to watch lol
The Nose Frida. Yes, it's a typical baby purchase, but I had no idea how awesome they were until last weekend. Baby doesn't share my feelings about it.
I have seriously been eyeballin' this and one other similar product. I kept telling myself that it would probably be a waste, but oh, how I want it now!
@caseyp10 I just put straight purée in, and I layer them so they're pretty and tasty too. I've made peas and carrots, carrots, pineapple, and pear, and I'm going to make a strawberry, yogurt, spinach concoction too. Oh, and prune for when he's having tummy issues.
@scamberlous3000 just got these today at Boston Store! Did you put straight puree in them or water it down? I wonder if pedialyte would work too?
Careful using pedialyte when your baby isn't actually dehydrated. There's about 250 mgs of sodium in a 1 cup serving. I think babies this age aren't supposed to get much more than 400mg.
I went through this with the nurse when DD had some diarrhea issues, she just told me to be careful not to give her pedialyte unless she really was dehydrated as it can be hard on their little kidneys and heart. Just an FYI I wasn't aware either!

Oh good! I knew I was keeping those plastic Easter eggs out for something. Now I have an excuse!
ETA: I deft think pedialyte will work too.

Confession: this after I let him steal sucks on my otter pop. His gums are so sore...still I had successfully avoided sugar. #badmommyawardhere
