MSE Parents Club Part 13

errrr, I don't understand those mesh feeders? If a baby can put the food into its mouth then why on earth would it choke? The fact that a lot of people do BLW these days kinda proves that choking isn't as much a hazard as we 'think' it is? I'm honestly confused, not trying to be anti-purees or snobby or anything. Unless someone can tell me why they're useful, I'm inclined to think it's all marketing ploy to make us buy more stuff our babies don't actually need...

I think perhaps with slippery things like banana it probably helps them keep a grip on it. And you probably don't have to give them a giant piece of food and therefore waste loads in order for them to be able to hold it.

does feeding a baby purees make it more likely to choke? That seems backwards! If i stuck my fingers down my throat, i'd choke too...pieces of food are quite different! I think people confuse choking with gagging, too. Though i am no expert.

Susan, your use makes sense. It was the product description that confused me. We do get a lot of wastage in order to get pieces big enough for him to be able to grab. Can't wait for pincer grip!

Lol maybe it's good i don't browse around baby stuff too much as there's just so much out there i get confused. I prefer simplicity!

No - I didn't say anything at the time because she said it as she was leaving the room, I was so shocked and I was concentrating on paying close attention to what she was doing/saying wrt the noise test and didn't want to create a big distraction in the middle of it.

No I don't think i would probably have said anything at the time either, shame though.

If anyone going 2mo wants a mesh feeder thing shout up and i'll dig one out, I didn't bother with it so its still sealed in the pack but i'm too lazy to post it to someone

oh an EA I think I know why your 'friend' always comments on your fb statuses, I think she's got txt updates on

Hmm, maybe. I hate text updates, when my sister is here her phone is always going off due to fb.

Im also very paranoid
My brother one choked on a biscuit when he was a baby and i had to stick my finger down his throat to get it out _pale_
