Munchkin 4 Ounce Easy Squeezy Spoon

I am starting to wean my 5 1/2 month old daughter, using homemade baby food that is prepared with a Vitamix. I bought this because I have an impatient, hungry baby. She starts to fuss every time I need to refill her conventional spoon. This spoon is just okay.

Pros

It is easy to clean. I use a bottle brush to clean the inside of the "handle. I "open" the spoon, and run water through the hole that the food goes through to clean it.

It is easy for my daughter to hold it, with supervision.

It is easy to pour the food from the Vitamix directly into the "handle" part of the spoon.

It is clear, so you are able to see how much food is left.

Cons

If even the tiniest piece of food gets into the hole, the food won't come out unless you squeeze very hard. This can make the food go flying everywhere or into your baby's face.

The spoon "locks" to keep food from coming out, but if you squeeze, food will still come out.

Due to a design flaw, there is always food left in the "handle" after feeding.

My daughter likes to chew on the spoon, which is made of a hard, ungiving plastic. I wouldn't mind if it was a softer material.

We had a lot of problems with my 9-month old daughter wanting to feed herself thus creating horrific messes every mealtime while still not getting her to eat any significant quantities of anything other than Cheerios. I bought this spoon on a whim that she might have more interest in eating if she felt like she was more in control and have been really impressed with the results. So far we've seen a dramatic improvement in how much she eats along with a dramatic decrease in how much we have to scrub off of her and the high-chair. Overall I would highly recommend this product for early "self-feeders" We've also been really happy about its portability and the ability to pack food and utensils within a single unit.

Pros:

Easy to clean.

Can be refrigerated to allow for food to last for more than one serving.

Easy to use.

Durable.

Good spoon and reservoir size.

"Environmental" alternative to portable squeeze packs of baby food on the market.

Cons:

Small fill opening.

Doesn't always seal well.

Open/Close valve is hard to read.

Small opening on the spoon itself.

Sometimes it's difficult to get food into the spoon (i.e. it collects at the bottom).

We have two Boon Squirt Spoons that we really like. I wanted to get one more to use when the other two are dirty. I saw the Munchkin version and because the it could stand on it's own and you could see through the base, I wondered if they had improved the concept. Nope. The design is poor. There's a large lip inside the base before it enters the spoon portion where a lot of food gets stuck. There's no way to squeeze it out and it's also difficult to clean out. The spoon is a different story there's a lock on the spoon to supposedly keep food from being squirted out when twisted a certain way. I found that food get's out regardless, it either comes out a lot or a little. But the locking portion gets impacted with food and I could not find a way to get it clean. I read here that a reviewer bent back the plastic and then ran it under the tap. I'll have to try that since I'm really frustrated from trying to get it clean.

I don't understand how anyone can get this spoon to work! I've tried it with rice cereal (thinned), but when that was a complete bust, I figured I should try a puree. The spoon shoots out a tiny runny portion and then is plugged completely. I tried thinning homemade puree and using Gerber. The spoon is definitely "open," so I'm at a loss. Tried adjusting how tightly I screwed in the top, as I was getting almost a vacuum effect, but then food shot out from the sides. What a bummer! Really hoped to use this on an upcoming trip. Thank goodness I test drove it first. If you use this successfully, please post some details about what food you're using and what your "technique" is. :) Thanks!
