Thermos Foogo Leak-Proof Stainless Steel Food Jar, 10 Ounce

Thermos Foogo Leak Proof Stainless Steel Food Jar, Blue, 10 OunceI dont know what I could be doing wrong. I tried this 5 times in 2 days and was very dissapointed. I am really stressing trying to find a good thermos that works for my daughter at day care. I dont microwave any of her food so I want to give her warm options at daycare. I read all the great reviews and thought this would be perfect. I boiled water put it in the cup for 12 minutes. Heated the pasta to very hot and after dumping the water out of the thermos immediately put the pasta in so I would not let any heat escape. I screwed the lid on tight and made sure it was on properly. 3 hours later the pasta is cold. What am I doing wrong?? It must be me since so many people have had good experiences. There are 4 hours between when I make lunch and my daughter eats there is no way this would stay warm for that long. I think maybe liquids would stay warm in this but not regular foods. Did I just get a faulty thermos? I really wanted to keep this its really cute to. My sister said stainless steel thermos's never worked for her either, maybe I will try the plastic insulated kind.

REVIEW UPDATE 1/21/11

Instead of returning this item I had amazon replace it. I figured since so many people on so many websites gave this a good review that there must have been an issue with my food jar. I am not entirely convinced that every reviewers food jar worked I really doubt some tested it before they sent there child out with it. But like a said I ordered a replacement tested it last night 1/20/10 and it 4 hours later the food was still quite warm, perfect temperature for my 1 year old. So I think that maybe my original food jar had a faulty vacuum which if it fails will not keep food warm. I plan on testing it a few more times over the weekend before sending her out with it but it was warm at 2 hours and warm at 4 hours. My first food jar didnt even keep the food warm for an hour.

I had the same problem as another reviewer with discoloration from stuff like spaghetti-o's. It sounds a little strange, but try spraying a little PAM on a paper towel and rubbing it on the 'rubbery' surfaces worked for me with my daughter's thermoses like this. I've also found that washing on the top rack of the dishwasher gets the stains (and the gross greasy residue from condensed chicken noodle soup) out very well. To keep things hotter longer, fill the thermos with the hottest tap water you can, put the lid on and leave it sit awhile, then dump out the water and fill with the hot food. It'll still be quite warm at lunch time. Hope that helps. :)

We just moved to colder climates last year so sandwich and chips just wasn't enough for our kids on cold days. My wife was trying to pack them a bowl that they could heat in the school microwave but our kids complained at the length of the line to the microwave.

We wanted to get a thermos that looked nice, encourages the kids to bring it back home, and was functional at the same time. So we picked these up because we could get different colors for each of the kids.

Now my wife will make them some hot soup at about 7:30 in the morning and by lunch time at 12:30 the kids have said everything is still hot. The other nice thing is they say all there friends comment them on their thermos.

Bought for older kids (8 and 12)--perfect, fits in lunchbox, keeps food hot until lunch (almost too hot), good size for spooning out of, washes easily, no scratches yet after a couple weeks of use, seems very durable and NO LEAKS! Great product.

My daughter loves soup and other warm foods for lunch, so we gave this a try. It works very well! No leaks so far ... More importantly, it is made with BPA-free plastic. Another reviewer needs to realize that just because an item is made in China doesn't necessarily mean it's hazardous!

Happy Baby happy munchies Cheddar Cheese and Carrot

Happy Baby happy munchies Cheddar Cheese and CarrotMy daughter likes these a lot, but I wish they were more reasonably priced on Amazon. Five dollars a can is ridiculous.

I am also still waiting to hear back from Happy Baby company to make sure this can is BPA-free. The rest of their products state that they are, and this one has some metal on it, so I am assuming that it probably does have a BPA coating. I dont see why Happy Baby didnt put these in a BPA-free container!

UpdateAfter reading about Happy Baby products that contain GMO's I am no longer buying from the brand. Also, the company does not use sprouted or soaked grains so the nutritional content of the grains is not available to the child. Young children have a hard, if not impossible time, digesting grains as it is, so grains are not a good food for a child under 1 anyway. I wish I would have known these things earlier or I would have never bought these or given my baby grains as a first food.

I brought these to a play group and the babies kept on grabbing for more off their mommies plates. Each piece is the perfect size for little hands and offers a great crunch. I like they are made with whole grain corn, they are organic, and they have less sodium than other brands.

I am loving the Happy Munchies Cheddar Cheese and Carrot snacks. These are a great snack alternative for the kids. My kids love the crunchiness of the munchies and I love the real cheddar taste. Another thing I noticed was that there was no salt or preservatives in them. The canisters that we got were full to the top with snacks (so many times I open the bag and it is 3/4 full). Great value and great taste. Definitely a winner and a buy again!

Baby Food Maker - Sage Spoonfuls Award-Winning All Natural Baby Food System - "Let's Get Started" P

Baby Food Maker - Sage Spoonfuls Award-Winning All Natural Baby Food System - 'Let's Get Started' Package with Immersion Blender and Food Processor, Storage Jars, Trays, and Recipe BookWhen I first bought this product I was worried that it would be a waste of money or too difficult to use. I was wrong. So so easy! Everything is a great quality. And the recipe book is amazing! It is extremely detailed which this first time mom needs. It breaks down all the food into age groups. There is just a ton of information in this book. If you do not want to purchase the whole kit I highly recommend you purchase the recipe book.

I got this Sage Spoonfuls kit as a baby shower gift and I have to say I LOVE it! I actually wasn't planning on making my own baby food, because I work full time and don't even cook, but when I opened the box and started flipping through the book (which is amazing by the way!) I saw how really easy it is. I absolutely love the storage jars! They're the perfect size, they don't leak, you can put them in the dishwasher and I really like that they're made in the USA. Plus, the kit comes with so many that you only have to make baby food once every few weeks, just prepare in big batches and store in the freezer. I also really like the blender and food processor. They're good quality, don't make a lot of noise and I love that I can use them for more than just baby food. As someone who had no intention of making her own baby food, I am so happy I got this kit, because I didn't realize how easy it is and how much healthier homemade is for my baby.

My husband got this as a gift for me for the holidays as we have a small baby in the household and the baby is starting to have real food. He knew I wanted to start making food but had no idea where to go so he got this for me. I never heard of Sage, but so far its great. The book included has given me some very easy ideas and I know this is much healthier than store bought formulas. I'll keep you posted if anything goes wrong, but love it so far.

This is a great product. First of all... it does the job well. Nothing complicated, not too many parts to put together and take apart. Easy clean, can store easily under counter/in cabinet. Puree works well and immersion is great for bulk amounts and storing. I personally LOVE the cookbook. I think it is clean, straight to the point of "how to" and I love that it included great suggestions for different food combinations. The storage containers are a good size. You can also use the immersion for soup and other home made dishes that aren't JUST for BABY! =) Overall... I would definitely recommend this.. and I did A TON of research (Im talking hours and hours for days and days) and finally landed on this. I just love that it doesn't have to sit on your counter all day every day and does everything it says it should no complications or tricky quirks so far. I make bulk to last 3-4 days and then store it away until the next time I need it VERY NICE! =)

Munchkin 4 Ounce Easy Squeezy Spoon

Munchkin 4 Ounce Easy Squeezy Spoon, Colors May VaryI 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).

The opening for the food to enter the spoon is so small you end up having to squeeze so hard when it finally goes you spray your baby with food

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. Save yourself some frustration and get the Boon Squirt Baby Food Dispensing Spoon in Orange

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!

My son is a picky eater, and he loves this flavor. I think it is a good food, for a child that has not started to walk yet. If you want a good transition from baby food to table food, I recommend this product.

Happy Baby Organic Happybellies Oatmeal Cereal (3x7oz)

Happy Baby Organic Happybellies Oatmeal CerealBeing a self proclaimed 'foodie,' I must admit when it was time for my little girl to start solids, I had done more then my fair share of educating myself on what was the best first food, particularly health wise, taste and nutritional value. While most books and websites still promote the 'rice cereal' concept, I wanted to go outside of the "box" for her first food since we have been bombarded with info about how 'white foods' offer no substantial nutritional benefit and it just turns into sugars. I was thrilled when I came across HappyBellies offerings of Oatmeal, Brown Rice Cereal and even a Multigrain version, instead of white rice cereal. I eat Oatmeal as a daily part of my diet so I was especially thrilled to be able to offer this to my little one. Not only does it have DHA and Priobiotics to help with her digestion, something the typical rice cereal does not offer, knowing her first types of solids not only provide her with something filling but is healthier and substantiated with vitamins, it truly was a perfect offering for one of my little girl's first foods.
