Great invention! – Food pouch spoons, what a great invention - begs the question which came first, the pouch or the spoon? Joking aside, these detachable food pouch… Read more

spoons really come in handy for feeding bub on the go. If for some reason I don’t have a Cherub Baby food pouch with me, these spoons do screw onto different brands. They work by squeezing food from the pouch onto the spoon, so you don’t have to worry about carrying all sorts of baby paraphernalia around with you. Plus they come with their own carry case, so they don’t have to gather fluff at the bottom of your bag!

Plastic peels off – These spoons were used for only a few months and plastic on the tips started to peel off. Can no longer use given risk baby swallows the plastic. Would NOT recommend. Show details

More hassle than help! – The theory is great but there are better options on the market. Pots are fiddly, often lids open in the freezer or they fall over when you are… Read more

getting things in and out of freezer.

They are a good portion size though.

Shop around and find a moulded tray where all of the cubes are together with a lid. good portion size Fiddly. Fall over. Lids sometimes open.

Excellent – LOVE these bibs. We have one that is used for every single meal, and has been for the past year. My only gripe would be that my 1.5 year old… Read more

sometimes spills her food over the side, so something a little bigger for toddlers would be great. I love that the plastic is so soft (unlike other brands that you can buy that are stiff and hard), the catcher part comes undone for very easy cleaning (just throw it in the dishwasher) and it can roll up nice and small to go out and about with you. Soft plastic, doesn't fade, easy to get on and off, portable They should come in a bigger size for toddlers

Post must have tampered or someone must’ve tampered with the package just wanted to argue with me and I said I was going to return for a full refund at my expense and they would refund at their discretion why on earth would I bother for one cup and one fork missing in my package pretty rude customer service. I purchased directly and should have gone to a store and support local

Good! – Good shape, long enough, appropriate size for baby's mouth and it's nice that it comes with a case. The only negative point is that by looking at the… Read more

photos you imagine the head of the spoon is silicon while it's steel covered with a layer of silicone which means that it's not soft enough that can bend. I won't use it for starting solids for my baby but it will be good for the time she is a bit older and knows exactly how to use a spoon.

Great but you need to make sure it will work for your requirements – I initially bought this to use on our Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair table. Unfortunately the Tripp Trapp high chair table is not a great surface for… Read more

suction plates and bowls. However, this product works well on our timber dining table so my son now eats from a plate on the same table. I actually think that is really nice. It works well with a porcelain plate. Not great with melamine plates or plastic. My son initially tried to pull the plate off the table. Sometimes he was successful... but he was pulling very hard. He's around 10 months old and he eats really well using this product - he's no longer trying to pull the plate off.... I think he sees the plate 3 x a day so he doesn't consider it to be something new to play with. I would recommend this product but you should make enquiries based on the specific surfaces / materials you want to use it on.

Keeps your milk feeds organised in fridge or freezer – I was soooo happy when I heard Kiinde had an Australian distributor - I intended to exclusively breastfeed my daughter and so made sure I bought one… Read more

of the starter kits when they became available.

Sadly my breastfeeding journey has had many bumps along the road - I had major milk supply issues and needed to use the breast pump a lot to increase supply, and these pouches came in very handy. I pumped into bottles usually, as I couldn't get a whole bagful at each session, but I'd combine my various milk amounts in the Kiinde pouches to create a frozen milk bank. The bags freeze well and allow for easy thawing and warming under the tap. The bottle and nipples attachments are great too, easy to use, hygienic and mess-free.

The Kiinde keeper was a useful piece of kit to have - it keeps your feeds in order and makes them easy to access when you have a squirming infant in one arm! I kept mine in the fridge and stored them in order of date pumped so that I always knew which ones to use. Very helpful when you're sleep deprived, but still like to be organised.

Much to my dismay, I had to abandon breastfeeding when my daughter was 4 months old, and I had a whole box of 20 pouches left. I was thrilled to hear of the "Foodi" system for storing solids and purees, and will be purchasing this as well. What a relief to learn that the pouches will not go to waste.

I would recommend the Kiinde system to anyone. kept things organised in the fridge, meaning i didn't have to look too far for what I needed

keep it clean, but just after first use itself the white part got the color of whichever fruit/vegetable we use. Loved the way bib looks but disappointed after every use. I bought 3 different colors and all got discolored.

feels toxic to humans! Very short life span makes this product terrible for the environment. Wish I’d read reviews prior, apparently this happens a lot and the company never resolved it.

Fun colours & good size – These spoons are good when you first start solids. They are easy to hold specially when your also battling a fidgety baby. The colours are cute and… Read more

attract my sons attention. They all also hold a good amount and the softer tips make it easier for feeding. Some of the other weaning spoons which are silicone kind of effect the taste of the purees especially after they’ve been put in the dishwasher a few times, the plastic ones are hard on their soft gums so the munchkin ones are perfect.

best of the best. It might seem expensive from the beginning but worthwhile for the long run. You only need to buy 3 bibs which lasts you for years use. Maybe that’s why it is hardy on sale ;)) but I’m very happy to pay full price

a long time still! They are the perfect size for a new little eater, and great for snacks for a toddler. The lids create and airtight seal so there is no leaking, but what I like best is their durability - I wash mine daily and they get quite harsh treatment, but have not faded or scratched and still almost look like new. Great size, grooves on the inside for mashing up food, very durable

Excellent – These are the best spoons out there for weening in my opinion, they are just fantastic. They are very soft but still teeth mark resistant, have nice… Read more

long handles (for when bubs wants to hold on as well), the spoon part is nice and shallow which makes it easier for bubs to learn how to take food off and they haven't shown any sign of wear or tear even with frequent trips in the dishwasher. The only drawback is that they don't fit in the travel bowl (from the same AK range) - they are too long. Durable, long handle, shallow spoon, very soft tip

Great spoon for little mouths – I started using this spoon when my baby was 4 months old and I'm still using this spoon at 8+ months. It is the perfect size for little mouths. It's… Read more

also good that the spoon does not touch the table. Sometimes my baby grabs the spoon and can put it in her mouth herself. The handle of the spoon is suited to little hands. Highly recommend. I have been able to put it in the dishwasher and steriliser which is an added bonus.

Good – This bowl is great in theory so I bought one as soon as they came out in Australia, but in practice, I have only used its finger food tray once or… Read more

twice. The bottom bowl section is a little big to use for every day food as well, so I really don't use it to its full potential. Whether or not this suits you would depend on your lifestyle, but as we eat mostly at home it hasn't been that useful. Sections to keep food separate, space for storing spoons, large bowl space Not really that practical - didn't use it as much as I thought I would!

son would use it... he is very particular about the shapes, texture and colour of foods, we get the vaalia yogurts which he likes, so i decided it is much cheaper to ourchase the tub and use the refill packets or even re suable squeezies, but because he didnt like the look of the see trhough packet i wasted my money :( but for anyone whom has a nero typical developing child i can strong suggest this product worth the money.

thank you for taking the time to read my review and i hope it helps you.

Good – I really like the spoon and wish I had bought more separately without the foons. My daughter feeds herself easily with the spoon and we've never had… Read more

any self-feeding problems. The foon on the other hand is quite useless and she doesn't use this much at all - I think it feels funny in her mouth. Ironically, she uses a metal fork without any problems at all, it's just the foon that she can't get her head around. I don't blame her, a spoon with holes doesn't make any sense! The spoon is great with a good sized handle and bucket The foon is kind of useless

anxiety is a big seizure trigger for me so being able to hold onto the bowl and not worry about my son chucking it aside is really helpful! we’ve made this bowl specially for his breakfast, I hold one handle and use other hand to feed although we have not used the straw feature yet I love how it’s an option to take on/off

Features: Large easy grip handles encourage independence Removable straw and clip Tear drop bowl shape, non - slip base Snack insert included BPA, Phthalates and PVC free

*i recommend if you’re looking for a good sustainable bowl *

and then fill them up through the ziplock. I bought these design https://littlemashies.com/collections/shop-all/products/little-mashies-boho-10pk it was easy to clean, just like a baby bottle with a bottle brush through the open zipper at the bottom and they are dishwasher safe but I don't do that.

Fantastic – I have two of these, one for hot foods and one for cold foods. I bought them because we travelled a lot to our farm which is a 6 hour drive and we… Read more

needed to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold for our little boy. They work a treat. When I use them I put the one I am going to use for cold food in the fridge for a few hours and with the one for hot foods I pour boiling water out of the kettle into it to warm it first for a few minutes, then tip it out and put the hot food in there. The food stays hot or cold for 7 hours. They have a wide opening which makes it easy to use a spoon for feeding and if your baby doesn't eat it all you just put the lid on for later. They are stainless steel so no BPA or other chemicals that are present in plastic, also plastic retains smells and tastes of food this is not a problem with stainless steel. They also do not leak either, even when tipped on their side in the nappy bag which is a real plus especially as my son loved soups. Fantastic product if you are out and about a lot and want to give your child warm or cold food without having to carry a microwave or fridge.

you can buy it. I am desperate to wean at night (day is done) so I thought I’d give it a try anyway and I bought 2 bottles. I thought it would come with some product information and instructions. It didn’t, it only had generic instructions for all sprays that they make. I started taking it 3 sprays, 5 times per day. The taste is fine. I emailed asking how long it would take to dry up my supply. I was told I would probably need a 3rd bottle and to reduce night feeding by only feeding every second night, then 3rd night and so on. Hahahaha if I could go even 1 night without feeding I wouldn’t be so desperate for something that claims to aide with weaning. So it is actually a useless product. Maybe it could dry your milk up once you have stopped breastfeeding completely, but it is marketed as weaning support, when that is just simply not true. Disappointing and I’ve stopped taking it now.

New kiddie Kutter knife isn't worth a dollar – Teaching kids knife skills is so much harder with this product. Would NOT recommend. The old design were pretty good. I've owned and raved about… Read more

these knives for years. A week ago I bought the new wooden handled knife for over $20 and my step mum excitedly bought one for her other granddaughter. We got them home and gave it to my 3 year old and the thing hardly cuts apples. I'm shocked. I tried and it's rubbish. Save your hard earned money. The new style knife is useless.
