Acelyn has been introduced to the world of solids these past couple of months, and it's no secret that she is alllllllll about her puree food! We are on a nice schedule of having fruits for breakfast and veggies for dinner, so she gets her fair share of eat time in between playing, nursing and sleeping! We love that we have had our Nuby products to help introduce solids to Acelyn, and can't help but feel they've made the transition that much easier! Especially during this current holiday season, as we are in and out for dinners with busy schedules and visiting family, traveling with our feeding accessories has never been simpler!
For Nolan and as well as Acelyn's very first interaction, we used the same temperature-sensing (color changing) spoons to feed purees to our babies. When Nuby sent us the All Silicone Feeding Spoons, I won't lie- I was a little resistant to switch up my beloved "baby spoons" because, well, memories!! They worked just fine and the same classic spoons that fed Nolan were doing the trick for Acelyn, too.
Regardless, I washed up the All Silicone Feeding Spoons and gave them a chance. I am so glad we did! These spoons are seriously magical. These 100% Silicone, BPA Free spoons are so flexible and soft, and fit perfectly into Acelyn's mouth, almost folding into her mouth to make sure it doesn't really even spill out. The Soft Flex spoon makes it easy to clean excess food from around her mouth, and the deep bowl of the spoon allows to scoop the desired amount of food for her (which is a huge spoonful for this little piggy). The soft silicone is perfect for Acelyn during her teething time, too, making it perfect on her tender gums, and she also loves to grab her own spoon and gnaw away at it to teethe. The easy grip handle makes for a comfortable fit in both my hand while feeding her, as well as her own when she decides to take matters into her own hands (literally) and feed herself. They are super lightweight and easy to pack up, so perfect for on the go dinners during the holiday busyness or a quick stash in the diaper bag to Grandma's house for holiday festivities. I love the more square design of the spoons, and although I was a little intimidated that they would be too large for her, they proved me wrong and are my absolute favorite now.
The All Silicone Feeding Spoons are perfect for babies age 4 months+ for babies first introduction to foods, and can be found at the following retailer:
We've used the Nuby Sure Grip Suction Bowl almost every day in our home, whether it's to serve Acelyn her purees or to let her practice some baby led weaning herself. The bowl has a one piece, super non-slip suction base that sticks to most flat, smooth surfaces, which means no more dropped bowls when Acelyn tries her newest tricks of tossing things overboard from the highchair! Because of this great feature, the suction bowl base serves as a great addition to holiday dinners out at restaurants or families' homes- less mess and one less thing to pick up from the floor!
The all-in-one durable silicone Sure Grip Suction Bowl is a great feeding accessory for babies aged 6+ months, is BPA and PVC Phthalate Free and can be found at the following retailer:
The cleaning on both the Silicone Spoons and Suction Bowl is the most magical part! Literally, one rinse under running water and all the food and mess come clean off. Because they are made of 100% silicone, they wipe clean and they are dishwasher and microwave (Suction Bowl) safe... no better thing for a busy Mama to have! I love that when we are on the go, I can just wipe both of them down with a baby wipe and throw it back in my diaper bag to clean later, and not have to worry about food dripping or smearing onto other things in my bag!
Finally, the Nuby Insulated Stainless Steel Food Jar with Folding Spoon is the perfect travel and on-the-go accessory to carry cold/warm foods and keeps to the temperatures for such a long time! We initially used this for Acelyn when she started with rice cereal and oatmeal in her introduction to solids. With the dry oatmeal on the top bowl portion and breastmilk stored in the insulated jar, we were able to keep her food in tow with us while out and about until she was ready to eat, all while keeping it in regulated, safe temperature. Temperatures are regulated by keeping warm up to 6 hours and keeping cool up to 7 hours, all while staying cool to the touch. Now, we use as a great divider between her puree foods in the insulated jar and snacks like puffs in the top bowl portion. Nolan also gets great use out of this for cereal, snacks and other temperature regulated foods such as yogurts and soups. It serves as a great way for the kiddos to snack while playing, a perfect holiday travel accessory and a convenient way to store and spoon up food on the go.
With a folding spoon that stores inside the cap, the BPA Free Insulated Stainless Steel Food Jar comes in one size, at 15 oz./450 ml. It is perfect for babies ages 4+ months and is available at the following retailer:
We are loving all of our new uses for the above feeding accessories, especially paired with the holiday bustle and on-the-go convenience to make life just a little bit less stressful during such a busy yet fun time of the year. Wishing all of you the happiest of holidays and an amazing start to a New Year!
