What's the point ? They don't taste great an have like 0 nutritional value. Are they just to practice biting/chewing ?
-
I actually like them and so did both my kids. They are like puffs, quick dissolving so less hazardous.
-
I felt like you...what's the point? I try not to entertain my kiddo with food and felt this was the major purpose of these so we avoided them. I never missed them.
-
Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I think they're yummy. They were LO's first practice with feeding herself before she had gotten the hang of chewing.
-
He loved them when he was learning to self feed and I loved them for the reasons @mamimami said. I could give him one in the car and he would be happy for 10 mins whereas if I let him be he would whine and cry.
-
They have one role in our house - distracting LO while I trim her nails.
-
@rattles: I thought they were kinda good too!
-
@coacheswife123: No clue, LO has never had one because I thought the same thing
-
I bought the veggie kind - I bet the banana is good. I do like how they are individually packaged though !
-
We use them to teach LO to self-feed. She has hated every "real" food that we have given her (strips of banana, pieces of avocado, etc) and puffs make her choke and gag. She does great with purees, but I want her to learn to eat other foods that she can hold. Plus, she seems to like them?
-
We don't generally use them in day-to-day life, but they were a lifesaver on our most recent plane trip. We pull out all the "forbidden" stops to keep the peace!
-
DS loved them when he first picked up on finger foods. They were easy for him to grasp. Now he's kind of over them since he can chew on tastier things now.
-
I thought they were great for learning how to hold, bite and 'chew' food. The fact that they dissolve almost immediately reduces the fear of gagging / choking.
-
We give them to her sometimes if we get home late and I need to sit her in her high chair while I get her dinner ready...just a distraction. And only if I don't have blueberries or something around for her to munch on.
-
We used them when C was teething and wanted something to rub on his gums that wasn't as messy as some teething bars were.
-
I didn't see the point as well so I didn't give them to either LO. I saw that they are Made in China? So that didn't sound good.
-
The banana ones are good! We gave them to L when he was just starting solids. Not sure he'd be so into them now.
-
R likes them. We did in the beginning to get her used to feeding herself. Now they are good when say like today we were still eating lunch and she wasn't into her food and starting to get bored, gave her those and she was happy. She loves the banana ones the best. But she is obsessed with bananas.

I like the Plum crackers...apple spinach?
