Fresh Food Feeder

Have you ever seen a fresh food feeder? They are genius! Made by Munchkin, these puppies are great for giving your babe a snack to munch on without the chocking hazard.

My favorite use? Placing a frozen food cube in the feeder for instant teething relief. When a feeding strike hits due to teething the feeder just might come to the rescue. Last time my hungry munchkin was on a strike, frozen food in the feeder was the only sure way I could get him to eat!

Here are some ideas for your hungry munchkin. Make sure to use a bib... this is guaranteed to get messy!!

My First Sippy Cup

When my hungry munchkin got his first sippy cup we had a lot of problems with him accidentally biting his tongue. Ouch!

We experimented with a number of different sippy cups and found that Munchkin's Mighty Grip 8 oz Trainer Cup was a great first sippy cup.

First, it isn't too big for little babies to manipulate. Even now, at 9 months old, a cup with a capacity more than 8 oz is a little cumbersome for our hungry munchkin. We totally love the handles, which are perfect for little baby hands.

Second, the spout is made of a silicone, which is quite forgiving when it comes to accidental tongue chomping.

Cons? While the product claims that it is "leak proof" I can attest that it is not. The silicone spout, when pinched a certain way, can get squeezed open. Like when I toss it into my diaper bag and something is placed on top of the spout... It is never fun to realized all the diapers in the diaper bag have already been saturated. Doh! So be careful!

Overall I would highly recommend this cup, at least until your hungry munchkin learns that it is no fun to bite his tongue!
