I sure did, and was glad to see that they are still around! I thought they were wonderful for feeding the strained foods, but sighted people criticized me and felt that if ya used the feeders, your baby never would learn how to use a spoon and fork; what shallow way of thinking! after all, it was just for their strained foods, not for a lifetime menu for pete's sake.

Oh, cool. So do mothers use that instead of spoonfeeding? Just curious, Becky From: Sandra Warren Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Re: Lora It is a tube like thing with a plunger on it, and you fill it with baby cereal, fruits, the strained kind, and the strained dinners for infants, and put on the lid with nipple, and let them have at it, and eat and less mess on you and them. Sandy not sure if they are still available; my kids were born in the seventies. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 7:30 PM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Re: Lora What is an infant feeder? Becky From: Sandra Warren Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 12:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Re: Lora Oh, memories! I used the infant feeders for both my boys, and got criticism like the dickens from sighted people, mind you, not the pediatrician, though; he had good common sense, the others were all horses' petunias! grin! know it alls, who knew nothing about folks with disabilities! That cereal is runny, so is applesauce, and it would be a terrible mess! this way I knew they got all their food! some folks would say if ya fed them that way that they never would know how to eat with fork and spoon, well, they are not on infant feeders today! another blind couple would make a bigger hole or two in the nipples of the bottles and make feeders that way, but the infant feeders had the plunger so the baby did not get the air which caused colic! Sandy also, nothing stains clothes worse than the formula! I used Dreft for the baby wash; not sure if it is even around these days. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lora Leggett To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 11:44 AM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Re: Lora Oh, i bet that was fun to clean up after. The formula really disagreed with both of them. At five months the doctor changed Deb to regular milk, and when Georgie started upchucking at three months, I just went ahead and put him on milk and never did we have that problem again! Yuck! i also used one of those infant feeder bottles with Deb because, try and shut your eyes and get a spoon of cereal or apple sauce into a baby's mouth when they are in an infant seat so you don't have to hold them and try to get into their mouth instead of all over them! haha Lora --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
