I love the idea of bentos, mainly because I think it's a great way to keep different foods organized. But I think LO is still too young--I feel like if I put one in front of him, he'd take all the compartments out and throw everything all over! I don't know that he's got the coordination to reach into separate little cups to pick stuff out (but maybe I'm not giving him enough credit??). He's 8.5 months old...when did you start giving your LOs bentos?
