Toddler Self-Feeding Made Easy: The Baby Dipper Bowl Review and Giveaway!
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
Lucas, of course, will not allow anyone to feed him. He MUST feed himself or he just simply clamps his mouth shut and refuses until mommy and daddy give in. That's ok, I don't mind if her feeds himself UNLESS it is something very messy like applesauce, ice cream, yogurt, cereal with milk, etc. Recently, Barbara Schantz contacted me to review her Baby Dipper Bowl and Spoon set, which promises to make feeding much easier for parents and even for toddlers trying to spoon-feed themselves. I review a lot of products here at Jolly mom and rarely does a product surprise me, but that's exactly how I felt when I received the Baby Dipper Bowl and Spoon set. This little unsuspecting bowl is genius!About the Baby Dipper:
The Baby Dipper was invented out of necessity by Barbara Schantz, mom of four-year-old twin girls, Greta and Cora, and also the mother of infant twin boys, Franklin and Carlton. As a mom of TWO sets of twins, Barbara needed a bowl that required only one hand to successfully feed a baby. After realizing that nothing like that existed, Barbara set out to create a truly unique product that would help parents everywhere.
The Baby Dipper Bowl is definitely a very uniquely designed baby bowl. It has a thick non-slip base to keep it from sliding and transparent sides so you can easily see the food inside. What makes it unique though is that the shape of the bowl actually aids in the collection of the food. It has a contoured, sloped interior that guides the food to the spoon and the spoon fits perfectly into the lower corner of the bowl. This means that parents can feed their babies with just one hand and who doesn't need an extra hand? Also, for toddlers this bowl can help them learn how to feed themselves without the mess! Lucas now eats cereal with milk, yogurt, applesauce and all the messy food he wants ALL BY HIMSELF! Just watch the video and see!
Want It: The Baby Dipper Bowl and Spoon Set retails for $9.99 and can be purchased online.
This contest is closed. Congratulations to the winner, Jeanine! Winner has been emailed and has 48 hours to contact me.
