Sassy Teething Feeder

My son enjoyed eating frozen fruit from the Sassy Teething Feeder while he was cutting those first few teeth. However, we didn't use it for very long because once he had teeth, he no longer needed the mesh strainer. The mesh bags do get pretty disgusting and are not easy to clean. I found I could restore them to the original (or close to it) white by:

1. soaking them immediately in lemon water;

2. scrubbing the bits of food out with a bottle brush;

3. then tossing in the dishwasher for a final cleaning.

While the product works and my son enjoyed it, he quickly outgrew this feeder. Additionally, the amount of effort to clean the mesh bags was more than I expected.

It took me only a few minutes to completely clean the remnants of banana from Sassy's removable mesh. It took over 30 minutes to clean the non-removable mesh on the similar feeder by Munchkin and later I noticed additional spots which needed more scrubbing. The way Munchkin's mesh pouch is attached to the plastic makes it very difficult to clean that top edge of the mesh. Someone recommended I try the Sassy and now the munchkin feeders, both the one I had used and the unused (from the twin pack) are going into the trash!

We used this extensively when our daughter first started solids but didn't have the ability to grasp small pieces to feed herself. It was nice to allow her to feed herself and try new things without constantly picking up little pieces of food from the floor or worrying about her choking. We used a tether to clip it to her bib, so it couldn't fall on the floor. Only downsideswe didn't use it for very longprobably only 2 months, so the extra mesh bags I purchased were never used. Also, I don't think the little water reservoir they claim can be refrigerated to keep items cold actually does anything.

Bottom linevery useful for that brief period after starting solids and before a pincer grip.

Before we bought this, we already have another brand of teething feeder. My husband doesn't like another brand because the bag have different color and he worries about the dye is not good for the baby. Finally we found this one which is white in color. At first I worry about if it is very hard to open for insert the food or cleaning as I read from many review before. Once I tried it, I don't understand why those parents complaint about it! Actually it is even easier to open than the other brand! Also, I can take out the bag and wash it separately which is much better than the others. My son love to eat the banana but I don't mind spend a few minutes to wash it because it is one of the only things that can let my husband and I have dinner together without hearing baby yelling. I would say this is a MUST HAVE item.

I bought these awhile ago and have been waiting for a good time to use them. We are still doing purees and hope to move to solids soon. Until my son is ready to use these with food, I have actually been using the feeder bags for teething and they are wonderful for that purpose. I freeze breastmilk in ice cube trays (smaller in size than normal ice cubes)and place the cubes in the feeder bag. My son loves to suck and chew on these milk popsicles and it seems to south his gums for awhile. Using these for that purpose definitely extends the useful timeframe of the product. I find the screw top to be a little difficult to get off but I guess that is so baby can't get it off either. I have also been worned that bananas are almost impossible to clean from the mesh. Other than that no complaints.
