There’s a saying that if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door. If the same principle holds for baby bowls, then the world should soon be beating a path to the door of The Baby Dipper Bowl.
But let me back up for a moment. Why does a 47 year old whose youngest child is 12 care about baby bowls?
Have I mentioned lately that I’m going to be a grandmother in the late summer? Oh yes. It’s a boy who will be named Eli. It’s hard to believe that it is possibly time for that, but considering that my little sister (by four years) became a grandmother almost two years ago, I guess it’s definitely time.
So when I got the chance to review the Baby Dipper, I was more than interested. I had already noticed from my great niece and nephew’s things that lots of really great products have hit the market since my baby was a baby.
And the Baby Dipper is cobalt blue. That, by itself, told me that the inventor has good taste. Plus she’s a real mom, so she knows what moms need and want.
So now let me tell you why I like this better baby bowl so very much. And it does go beyond the color, I assure you.
Before opening the package, I read it all completely. I found what I wanted: dishwasher safe, top rack. If a baby product can’t go into the dishwasher, forget it. I’ll save my handwashing for my prized hand-crafted cobalt glass, thank you very much!
The first thing that impressed me was the non-skid bottom. I hate for a bowl to slide when trying to feed with just one hand. And it worked perfectly.
The second thing I really liked is that the bottom is sloped. How much time of my life have I spent scraping baby food up so that I could get it onto the spoon? This bowl is contantly helping out by allowing the food to flow into one corner. Great!
The best part is how the spoon fits snugly into the lowest corner, allowing the feeder to easily scoop up a full, but not overly full spoonful of food.
In my case, I had the opportunity to spend a few hours with my great niece this week. We tried it out with oatmeal to both our satisfactions. She’s old enough to feed herself, after a fashion, but also enjoys a little help with really soft foods. So we both got a chance to try out its qualities.
It will be some months before Eli is born and several more before he eats food, but The Baby Dipper Bowl will be there for him when he’s ready. In fact, I think there will be more than one. It so very easily became a favorite to this future Nanna.
