Munchkin Fresh Food (Fruit/Veg) Feeder

Here's my review of the Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder.  We bought ours at WalMart, but you can also find them at Amazon and maybe Target??  Although I would have never bought this after just seeing it in the store, we had a friend recommend it to us.  She is a grandma who's just recently had two young grandkids, so she's been through this stage less than 1 year ago.  She recommended trying it because it's a great way to give babies fresh foods AND it can also help with teething (when you use frozen fruit)!

It's a handy little contraption that has a mesh bag, lockable top, and holding ring for making it easier to feed your baby fresh food.  With this device, you can feed your baby fruits and vegetables that you don't want to have to mash/cook.  It seems that they should be naturally soft foods though, and foods that can sqiush through the small holes in the mesh.


Here's a video of Enoch eating some frozen blueberries out of it.



As you can tell, he is a fan of chewing/sucking on it now, but the first few times I tried to use it, he was a little hesitant about how the mesh bag felt on his tongue.  I would suggest continuing to try it if your little one doesn't take to it immediately.  The blueberries worked well this time after they had a few minutes to defrost so that he was able to suck out some juice and blueberry filling. :)

One other note that I would add in about this is that it can be quite messy (depending on what kind of fruit/veg you put into it)!  As you saw in the video, Enoch got SO purple from the blueberry juice.  So, this is certainly not the kind of thing I'd take in the car or to a restaurant.  In our house, it will mainly be reserved for before bath time when Little Man is already naked.  Giving it to the baby when he/she is in a high chair could also be good, but once it falls onto the ground, it picks up any little debris it can find (because it's wet and juicy), so you might also need use a paci clip to keep it up on the high chair (depending on how much of a pitcher you have).

Overall, I'd give this 4 stars out of 5.  It's handy to use, and it did make Enoch's sore gums feel better, but it's pretty messy and is really only useful to me at home.
