Lora, I know that! Sighted folks at times can be such petunias! Not all, but
quite a few!

I never got any criticism about using them and my kids had no problem
learning to eat all the regular things with a spoon or fork or fingers or
whatever.

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,

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.

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.

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
