I already know that I'll be getting the Ikea ANTILOP high chair for when they're sitting up on their own, but I'm in search of--I bet you can guess--good bowls, spoons, and cereal for my growing twins.
I've already got my eye on a few things, and I'd love to know what other moms think, so throw your two cents my way.
First off, I know I'll need spoons. I want soft ones that are pretty shallow since the cereal will be mostly formula at first. I'd like to keep the handle long since I've got two grabby girls, and I personally would like to keep feeding time as neat as I possibly can. (Don't worry, I'm not delusional; I know it will be messy.)
The Nuk soft bite spoons seem like a good buy. I also like the Munchkin safety tip spoons. (I should admit that I pretty much like all things from Munchkin.) I also already have this cool dispenser spoon from Boon (thank you Rachael & Sean) that I'm dying to try out. If that works, then I'll buy a few and won't need nearly as many bowls.
On the food side, I'm leaning towards Happy Baby cereal. I've never been one way or the other on organic food, but I like that I can pronounce all the ingredients, they have probiotics and the price is right for us. Oh, and the fact that it comes in a canister instead of a box is a big bonus. I'm definitely not turning my nose up at Gerber, so I'll be trying their cereal out as well.I have no idea what kind of bowls I'm supposed to get. Is there a special bowl for babies just starting out? I definitely like the idea of something with a suction cup bottom so that the girls (nor me) knock it over accidentally. I saw this snazzy little thing online, but I don't know if it's really worth buying or if a normal bowl will work just as well.
As I said, throw in your two cents or your dollar fifty. I always like to get feedback!
You are so good. Thanks for doing my research for me! lol We're not going to start Armand on solids until he's 6 months old. We've been given a bunch of spoons, but I love nuk products, so we'll probably try out one of those. We're also going to get a steamer/food processor to make our own food for him. When I was a teenager I worked in a fruit packing shed and all the bruised crap fruit was what they put aside to use to make baby food. So, we'll be making our own from our organic fruit and vegie delivery. Liking the Happy Bellies link too. Thanks for that!
