BUT they are near impossible to clean! Bananas are the worst to get out! I have rinsed and turned inside out & rinsed, run them through the dishwasher, and cursed at them. I would throw them out if my daughter didn't love them so much.
In the dishwasher, they catch crumbs and keep them, so the only way I have found to sanitize them is by first handwashing (10 min), then boiling for five minutes.
These are great for babies, but weigh them against the amount of cleaning frustration you are willing to tolerate. Also note that some foods are a lot easier to clean out than others anything stringy will have pieces twisted and wrapped into the mesh, so bananas, citrus, celery, and skins of any sort will give you a headache. I've had this a few weeks and finally tried some bananas in it. My son LOVED it. He cried when we were done with it. I thought it was great because he could actually feed himself with something (he's 6 months) while I ate my own lunch. He got all the bananas. We tried frozen and fresh and both were a hit.
Now, they are still sitting dirty downstairs. I have tried scrubbing with a sponge, my hands, turning them inside out, using the sprayer, putting them in the dishwasher, dumping in boiling water.. i cannot get them clean. THere is banana all over them. I am thinking of calling Munchkin to get a new pair and just not using banana in it. I love the idea. Maybe grapes or something would be better. I still recommend trying this out, and if you find a better way to clean it let me know because i want to love this product!

With a small ice cube tray, you can freeze baby food and give it to them...... it helps SO much for teething, and also you really don't have to struggle to get them to eat! My son didn't even need to be taught how to use this! I was amazed and he's been using them twice a day for two weeks now! It's been a teething life saver as it helps keep him from being too grumpy.

This product is genius and it doubles as a teether. Our baby frequently flips it around and naws on the handle. We use fresh organic pear and frozen organic strawberries, blueberries & raspberries (the cold is great on the gums). It is challenging to clean and would just say mush up your bananas and feed with a spoon this doesn't work well with bananas. Pear comes through the mesh very easily along with the berries. Our little one loves this and it's a treat for her. This is a must have for all new mamas and a very cheap purchase.*Baby may initially reject because of mesh but express some food out and they will love.
*Great for teething babies.
*Great transition from super pureed foods but before lumpy foods (this makes the food have some texture).
*Can be difficult to clean but just buy a baby tooth brush to get into all the nooks.
*Buy it, it's wonderful! hi, just wanted to make you aware of a hazard on this product. the Munchkin fresh food feeder that i purchased had a small piece of different colored plastic on the locking part. this came off while my daughter was using it and she started to choke on it. luckily we were able to dislodge the piece and she's okay, but make sure yours doesn't have this part. I contacted the company and told them of the problem but i noticed the new feeder in the stores still have this hazard.
