Who knew that feeding could be this easy and fun?
When Ollie was younger (like..10mo, which seemed like an eternity!), I was looking for a container/bowl that could be suctioned to the table so that I could leave him to eat his Cheerios and not have it tossed all over the floor. The snack catcher was a good alternative, but he was not ready for it then. When he was finally ready for it, he would be tossing it on the floor, so I was the one spending all the time picking it up. FML.
That container with a suction base..SUCKED big time. I have a quartz counter-top in the kitchen. You always had to ensure the base was moist so that there was enough moisture to ensure the base would stick to the counter-top. And then when I washed it, the base warped. FML. Which meant it just got even harder to stick it down.
*tosses suction bowl in the bin* Err..actually no lah, it is part of the boys’ kitchen playset now. Hahaha. Too kiam to toss it in the bin.
So this year, I got introduced to ezpz mats. Seriously, when I first saw it, I was like pfffffpt. Come on, another suction plate, bowl? Hah! It is going to come right off the table when kiddo pulls it. That was before I tried it.
After? It was impressive. How impressive?
this impressive
I actually am able to lift this IKEA chair up just holding on to the mat. And for a long while leh!! No damp surface required.
Actually..that was the last surface I tried. Before this, I went on to try on all other surfaces I had in my house..like
kitchen counter-top with Ollie trying to rip it off the table
dining table glass top
my wooden bench
heck, even my floor (glossy floors)
Okay..bathroom floor, surely no need right? Who eats in the bathroom anyways…=P
But yes, you get the idea. I really tried pulling it all off these surfaces. It took A LOT A LOT of pulling and tugging. But it doesn’t come off. That said..if you have an older kid like Ollie who knows that he can peel it off the surface if he can’t pull it off, then it is a different story. Idea is..don’t let the kiddo see how you peel it off the table!
If you are into Baby-Led Weaning (BLW), this would pretty much be the product for you. You get to prettify your meals to baby, and it comes served properly on a plate that baby will get associated with for food and meals! And the mat helps to minimise any mess on the table (can’t speak for the mess on the floor tho! hehe). The above image also provides you with a guide as to how much you are feeding your little one. Nifty eh?
