Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Mesh Teething Baby Safe Feeder Feeding Food New
Customer Review: A MUST for all babies!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Baby Safe Feeder is wonderful! I know it was designed to allow a baby to eat safely, but it also allows a baby to eat and explore new foods independently. My 6 month old daugher has just started eating 'food'. Today I put a piece of banana inside the Baby Safe Feeder and she kept herself busy for 1/2 an hour mashing the banana with her mouth, tasting and eating the banana. I love that she can 'feed' herself. I have also put an apple slice inside and she spent a long time licking the apple, getting to know the taste.
This is a must for all babies! Only one suggestion - do buy an extra set of of the mesh food bags. You can buy them in sets of 2 (I got them at BabiesRUs store.) As it says in the instructions, some foods, especially bananas, stain and are hard to clean out all the way. Even when I spend 10 minutes cleaning the mesh net with a small brush and then put it in the dishwasher, some pieces still seem stuck. So we have one net we use for the bananas, and one net for all other foods.
Enjoy!
Customer Review: Easier to clean bags are here!
Summary: 4 Stars
For those who complain about how hard it is to clean all the food out of the bags, you'll be glad to know that the manufacturer has designed a new type of bag that is easier to clean. The bag separates from the ring, and so it is much easier to get to all the food particles (you get four bags and one ring in a package). The bags are reusable and dishwasher safe, even though they're labeled as "disposable". As of this writing, some stores already have the bags in stock, and others will be getting them soon. I bought mine from www.babycatalog.com. The new bags are longer and narrower than the original bags that come with the feeder, and this shape seems to be easier for the baby to get his mouth around. The bags appear to be made out of the same mesh fabric as the original ones - don't be mislead by the "disposable" label - they're just as sturdy as the originals. I give the product four stars because of the trouble it is to clean the bags that are permanently attached to the green ring.Customer Review: No more tears

I came across this product with a recommendation from a friend who's twins were having an easy time with teething. My little guy was so unhappy and crying all the time. The bitter biscuits were so messy and even without his first tooth william was able to break them into little chunks. I bought the feeder and used it originaly for his teething. At around 4 months old I was putting melon in it. Although it said to use frozen fruit, I just used fresh and of course fruit juice was everywhere afterward but the crying stopped. The only teething upsets after buying this product were when the tooth actually broke thru, otherwise william was suddenly the happiest kid in town. Melon, strawberrys, oranges, peaches, you name it. and once he was old enough i'd use it at dinner time and give him whatever we were having. Steak and potato....No problem. It made all the difference and saved my sanity to boot. I ran out and bought one for every gal in the family who was having a baby.Customer Review: Messy, hard to clean, and hard to use

While I don't share everyone elses enthusiasm about this product, I will say that my 5 month old 'liked' it. I gave two stars instead of one only for that reason. I can't understand how people are able to clean this thing. I scrubbed it, put it in the dishwasher, used a brissle brush, but it took forever to clean. One thing is for sure, if you buy this, don't use the peel on foods as suggested. I had a little more luck cleaning this when I peeled the grapes (which you'll see isn't really that hard, apples and pears. Bananas I'll never use again, they are virtually impossible to get out of the inside mesh area by the ring. Also, when my baby was done, he was soaked from all the juice and sooo sticky. On the positive, he did seem to have fun at first. Up until the food was small and it kept going up to the top where he couldn't put his mouth around it. Good luck to those who buy this, maybe you'll have better luck like the other reviewers.
Customer Review: GREAT FOR DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED CHILDREN!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son, Jimmy, is 19 months old, and we have been told that he may need a g-tube for nutrients because formula alone would not be enough for him his whole life. The problem is, Jimmy doen't have the "normal" swallowing reflex, nor does he have the muscle control to chew well. We tried the baby safe feeder for the first time today, and I am in tears writing this review at this very moment! My Jimmy was able to chomp down, and continued to do so for 1/2 an hour! He doesn't have to worry about gagging or choking, and it is obvious that this is making a world of difference in his exploration of food! I highly recommend this feeder for babies, disabled or not, and to children (or adults!) of any age with a disability effecting their swallowing reflexes and ability to chew. I am excited to say that Jimmy may well be able to eat one day without the feeder due to his response to it so far! It is, literally, teaching him to eat!
