Weaning is an important stage in a baby’s development, when parents begin introducing their baby to solid foods alongside their usual breast milk or formula milk. This transition usually starts when the baby is around 6 months old. Weaning begins with purees and soft foods, gradually moving on to different textures and harder foods as babies grow. It’s important for parents to offer their baby a range of different foods during this stage, in order to provide a variety of flavours, nutrients and even rule out potential allergies.
A baby food feeder is an effective weaning tool, allowing children to explore new foods at their own pace. These handy tools are designed to let only small pieces of food through as baby chews or sucks on the feeder, ensuring each chunk is the perfect size for baby to swallow. Their design means that parents can easily feed fresh fruits and vegetables to their little one without having to worry about them choking. Using a food feeder means that baby can gain all the nutrients and goodness from healthy fresh food. Easy for little hands to hold, these food feeders are perfect for snacks throughout the day!

We offer some great food feeders from Munchkin. These items are colourful, with lovely pastel colours that complement other items in their portfolio and feature intuitive designs to make weaning easier. Munchkin Fresh Food Feeders feature a mesh bag to hold chunks of fruit, vegetables, treats or even small, easy to chew chunks of meat. Their child can then safely suck or chew on the mesh bag to enjoy the flavours and swallow small chunks – while large chunks and pips remain inside. The feeder has an easy grip handle and can be a great tool for teething too, as parents can put frozen fruit or chopped up ice lollies in the mesh bag and provide soothing relief for their aching gums!
Another model from Munchkin is the convenient Munchkin Silicone Baby Food Feeder. This alternative to the mesh bag is made from flexible silicone. This food feeder offers a safe and easy way to feed baby purees and other soft foods. The Silicone Baby Food Feeder features a small hole at the bottom, allowing small amounts of food through at a time. The feeder features an on-the-go cap, perfect for travel or storing in the fridge.
