Silicone Feeder

Question

Hello! 
My little one just had her 4-month old check up and the pediatrician gave us the green light to start trialing solids. We were going to purchase a silicone feeder to put some frozen breast milk in, as she is teething as well. I am stuck between the Haakaa or Moss and Fawn feeder. Just wanted a little feedback if you’ve tried either or another brand. We were also planning on putting some fruits once she’s old enough.  TIA :)

Answer

That pediatrician is not up dated with current standards for starting solids. He is to be following the board certified pedi nutritionists at all the major health organizations and they all say no solids until 6m old with all ready signs met. Pedis aren’t nutritionists and often give false/outdated info. 
Here are ready signs that are to be met:
At least 6m old
Loss of tongue thrust reflex (crucial to prevent choking)
Sitting unassisted for at least 1 min (crucial to prevent choking as it says the core strength is fully there to do so)
Has actual interest in eating foods
Has the chewing motion within the jaw

Answer

Make sure baby is ready for solids!

Answer

I'd skip the silicone feeder if your baby has poor dental genetics. I have friends who brush their kids teeth but sadly those things can be a factor. 
Also, I'd wait for starting solids until 6 months. My daughter got really sick from giving her solids too early and I'd hate for any other kids to go through that. It's not easy to have your kid dry heaving for hours, let alone at that age.

Answer

We used these for breastmilk pops for my daughter and once she was older some frozen berries. They are easy to open (for me not her) and clean. We tried the mesh Munchkin ones but I had a hard time opening them and they were really hard to get clean and got so gross.
