The Sili Squeeze...can we say ingenious? I had a whole slew of things I wanted to give Ansel, it just wasn't happening. I wasn't up for the mess, and he wasn't up for the confinement of the high chair. There were things that he'd eat only if he could help himself to them, apple sauce, yogurt; you know the messy stuff that mom's want to spoon feed ever so carefully?
I am so happy to found this! Ansel not only can have the things he really likes, but I can let him wander and roam with them like he wants. It doesn't spill, it doesn't leak, and he can't squeeze it out! The spout requires compression along with sucking in order to get anything out. It only took Ansel a minute or two before he had it down perfectly.
Sili Components:
- Detachable, clear, plastic cap keeps the nipple protected while storing your Sili Squeeze™
- Silicone nipple with built-in plastic base attaches smoothly to the Sili Squeeze™ 'home' ring, locking in place, completing the squeeze-controlled/spill-proof, patent pending design
- Silicone body is soft, easy-to-squeeze and easy-to-clean due to the naturally non-stick quality of the silicone. The wide opening makes it easy to fill with your homemade purees and smoothies.
I just take it apart like that and put it on the top shelf of the dishwasher, put the two lid parts in with the sippy cup stoppers and bottle rings and nipples and all is clean.
There are two sizes, a 6oz and 4oz size. I will say the 4oz one has the two jars of pictured baby food in it. There is just a touch left in one of the jars.
They do not have to be completely full to work either. Feel free to put in as little or as much as you want and it all works the same!
So the nipple gets a little discolored with use. I put carrots in it, Ansel ate them up and it is not a touch orange. But that's to be expected! He is prefectly happy with them, loves them infact. He walks around saying SQEEEEZE...
I give this product two thumbs up, it's easy to use, easy to clean, and is a super easy and clean way to get the fruits and veggies into my little guy that other wise he might not get.
I will definitely recommend it to my friends, and will for SURE give it as a gift.

So great! Love this idea!
ReplyDeleteNot so much, speech therapists that I've talked to absolutely hate these types of feeders (and the squeeze pouches at the grocery) for young eaters. They don't learn how to manipulate their food properly with their mouth/teeth/tongue/lips with these products. They need to learn that 'solids' are different from liquids, these feeders teach them that they're the same. What happens when you move on to chunky/stage 3 foods? They choke.
