Baby Dipper. End Self Feeding Frustrations!
Tuesday, August 18, 2009 Posted by Felicia
Graham has always been very good with his gross motor skills (great runner, jumper, dancer, acrobat, etc) but his fine motor skills have been the ones that have come the slowest. One of those fine motor skills is self feeding with a spoon. Now, I must say that part of this I think is from being a little bit on the lazy side (mom and dad can shovel more into his mouth at a faster rate than he can), but he also has just needed more practice.When I was contacted by the extremely innovative mother who created the Baby Dipper I was thrilled to try it out. Barbara created this when she found herself with two sets of twins and not enough hands to feed them all! With most bowls you have to have your hand on the bowl as well as on the spoon. Barbara was struggling to find a product that would allow her to have a free hand so she invented her own! The best part is that it also helps toddlers learn to self feed!
See it in Action:
I was surprised to see Graham gobble up his apple sauce all by himself the first time I placed the bowl and spoon in front of him! The Baby Dipper works by having contoured sides, a sloped interior, triangular shape, and a bottom that does not slide! All of this helps aide in making one handed feeding and toddler self feeding possible. Even the spoon has a curved shape in order to make things simple. I also love the fact that the bowl is transparent so that you and your child can see what is inside and how to get to it. The weight of the bowl is more than regular bowls also aiding in keeping it in one spot. Because the Baby Dipper is Phthalate and lead free, it is also safe for your kids.
This is definitely on the top of my lists of what to get new moms! The Baby Dipper retails for $9.99.
This giveaway has ended! Congratulations to Melissa.
