Boon Baby Feeder

Posted by Missy W. @ 11:29 AM

Boon Baby Feeder

A friend of mine received this all in one squirt baby feeder by Boon at her baby shower recently. Of course she hasn’t used it yet so I can’t twist her arm into reviewing it for me. I can’t tell if it’s a overly-designed uni-tasker or a lifesaver for travel feeding.

I just keep looking at the picture and thinking, would I use that? I never found it all that laborious to dip the spoon into Sy’s bowl of food to feed her when she was wee. Would it really be helpful on a plane or in the car? Of course, in today’s world of travel, you couldn’t fill it up until you were on the plane, and knowing my luck, we’d hit turbulence and I’d pour it in my lap in the process.

It’s not that expensive ($8.00), is made of BPA-free plastic and is dishwasher safe, which is good because I can’t imagine how I’d get it really clean with a sponge. I wonder how comfortable it is for the feeder to hold the large spoon handle and squeeze every time they need to feed the feedee? I guess I’ll have to wait for my friend’s report because I am just not at all tempted to buy this uni-tasker.

I just bought this tooday and LOVE it already! So easy and convienient! I know it’s not that laborous to dip the spoon in a bowl and feed, but my problem was my little one would have hands/clothing in her mouth before I could make it back to her with more of the ‘yummy stuff’ on the spoon. This is VERY frustrating - but hey, she’s hungry right? BUT with this spoon, there’s not enough time for her to do that, nor is there enough time for her to get mad because I am not feeding her ‘fast’ enough. Again, give it a try, it’s less than $10…I bet you’ll love it too!

BTW - it’s easy to squeeze. I have carpal tunnel in both hands and it’s not a problem at all!

I love mine too!  The spoon never has to leave her reach, so she doesn’t start crying between bites!
