Customer Review: You have to get one!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, my son is probably like most kids, wanted to try everything we were eating. These are great! You can put pretty much anything in there and they can just gnaw away, it is so great for when they are teething, put frozen mango, banana, etc. inside. And when you are first doing solids, if you don't want to buy yucky jarred food, fresh is best and way cheaper (and much better than starting with cereal). Buy extra mesh bags, organic whole foods, and you are set.Customer Review: The SAFEST way to feed a baby
Summary: 5 Stars
My twins will be 7 months old in a few days, and just LOVED to eat REAL food, not baby jarred food.
One of my sons was teething on a baby biscuit, when a whole chunk fell into his mouth, and he nearly chocked (although I was RIGHT there, it was hard to get it out!). I immediately went online and searched for a baby item that would solve this problem for the boys... Low and behold the Baby Safe Feeder...
***We purchased two safe feeders, with extra bags... I highly recommend this since the bags aren't so easily found***
I place teething biscuits, steamed carrots, bananas, peaches, grapes, and loads of other fruits and vegetables (frozen or not) in these things for the boys. I know that my boys LOVE ice cubes, well the sharp pices always worried me, and now I can freeze many of my own fruit juices (whether its store bought or freshly made!) and place them in here too! The boys even enjoy eating what the family is eating, like chicken, potatoes, stake ect... I also dont have to hand feed them, we just watch them eat while we are eating! No more peeling, or excess chopping (even if I blended the fresh food into my own baby food, the boys STILL wouldnt touch it). I simply place the small pieces into the mesh bag, and screw on the bottom. There's no way a young child could open this thing, and I cant see the tough mesh EVER ripping... The food stays in, except little "mushy" parts that seep through the mesh, making it also great for feeding! The handle is large enough to fit chubby hands through it, and also a great teether as well.
Washing the safe feeder is tricky, but here are a few tips
(1) Once baby is finished, dump out all the larger chunks into the garbage, dont worry about scrubbing yet
(2) Then inside out the mesh bag
(3) After you inside out it, run water through what would be the inside, so the food that's stuck on the inside is facing the outside.
(4) After most of the foods gone, you can scrub it with dish soap, a washcloth, and/or a small child's toothbrush
(5) On occasions dunk the mesh inside warm water mixed with oxy clean, and leave it in for 10 minutes (got this idea from another reviewer!) it makes it white, so you can give the mesh a longer life!
(6) Than you have to clean the green ring/white handle. The handle is easy to wipe up, but for the ring I reccomend using either (1) a nipple brush (2) one of those water brushes for your teeth if you have one or (3) a skinny object like a baby fork to get the gunk out (BANNANAS are extremely difficult to do!)
(7) Finally after step (5) or step (6) place the WHOLE teether into the dishwasher on the TOP RACK, preferably in one of those nipple baskets.
** The most time this has taken me would be a total of 40 minutes (remember, TWO feeders) but it usually only takes around 15 minutes to get both clean... and it MUCH better than trying to clean baby bowls, and the crumbs out of chairs... although food WILL leak out!
As for weening a child off of the BSF, I think they will outgrow it eventually (my 2.5 year old would have NOTHING to do with it) and I am sure if your baby likes the feeder, when YOU think they are ready to eat it with out the feeders assistance, they will be ready to eat with out it too :)
Your child will have the experience of fresh foods, and teething without you having the experience of peeling, and worrying about chocking... a truly great product!
Customer Review: I'd save your money...
Summary: 1 Stars
This item seems like a good idea, but after purchasing two I feel that we've fallen victim to "new parent baby marketing". Our baby wasn't interested at all in sucking on anything in it. She woudln't even go for fruits that we knew she loved. I'm guessing the mesh is too distracting or annoying to them(?) She would just shake it around, bang it, or throw it. Also, it's a total pain to clean it. The netting never gets clean in the dishwasher.
Save your money on this one.
Customer Review: Great product, just wish baby would use it.
Summary: 4 Stars
I became so exited when I read all the great reviews on this product. I went and bought two. One for me and another for grandma. Well, first day I put some fruit in it and my 6 month old seemed to love it, but he did not keep it in his mouth for very long. The next day he outright refused it! He would only chew on the handle, and whenever I tried to put it in his mouth he would cry. He would rather try to hold the food himself and eat it, but I am terrified of him choking. Has this happened to anyone, and if so, did they eventually use it if you keep on trying? I hope he will eventually use it because he loves teething biscuits, but he will bite large chunks out of it and I have to fish it out of his mouth.Customer Review: Great Product

My baby loves this feeder. She just turned 6 months old and the baby feeder can keep her busy and satisfied, when other items such as, teethers and blankies, get old. In order to help me clean it, I bought a small inexpensive toothbrush. It really helps the cleaning process. So I would definitely recommend it.
