Fresh Baby ~ So Easy Baby Bowl & Divided Dish ~ Reveiw & Giveaway

As parents we sometimes find ourselves doing just the thing

that we said we would never do or not following through with the things that we planned to do.

For example, I said that I would never put my baby in my bed with me...

but here are I am 11 months later, struggling to get my little guy to sleep in his crib.

I am proud to say that I have followed through with one of the things that I planned to do though....

Making My Own Baby Food!

I must say that some people were skeptical when I declared,
 "I am going to make my own baby food."
Not believing that I would actually follow through with it...and I will admit (only now) that I did doubt myself a little too. But I am proud to say that my little guy has never eaten food from a jar, not once, not even when we have been traveling....but I can't really take all of the credit for it. I really could not have done it without

CSN Stores Make Feeding Time Easy.....

Do you remember me telling you about
CSN Stores before we left for our trip to California?

 I was excited about all of the great products they had to offer and was looking forward to sharing with you what I found in the
Baby Feeding section of

CSNBaby.com
once we started Bresden on solid foods.

Well the time has come.....

Bresden had his first taste of rice cereal on Thanksgiving Day while we were in California.

So we were finally able to try out the

Boon Squirt Baby Food Dispensing Spoon in Orange

&

Baby Bjorn Soft Bib in Blue

that we ordered from

CSN Stores.

The Boon Squirt...

I had actually never used a Boon Squirt before this but I have actually given them as gifts. My sister-in-law raved about them and I went all over town looking for them when I needed a baby gift (this was before I knew about CSN Stores).  I could have saved myself a lot of time and energy if I had known about CSN Stores back then. 
Anyways, I was pretty excited to finally try it out and I liked it even more than I had expected....which says a lot because my expectations were pretty high.

To use the Boon Squirt you just pour food in the handle, screw on the spoon, squeeze and feed.
Then just toss it in the dishwasher!

It really is that simple!
There is even a cap in case he doesn't finish it all.
According to my sister-in-law you can dump an entire jar of baby food into it at once.

A Little Tip: When filling the Boon Squirt....I found that I could scrape all of the food into the handle easier if I set the handle in an empty cup... then it was sitting upright and I had both hands free...one to hold the bowl or jar and  one to scrape the food into it with a spoon.

I actually thought that I would mainly just use the Boon Squirt for feedings on the go but I have been using it at home for every feeding since I first tried it.
Definitely going to be getting some more of these!

It makes feeding him so much easier and cleaner too as I am not dripping food on the way to his mouth.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

Baby Bjorn Soft Bib...

I had actually used a Baby Bjorn Soft Bib before this.  A family that I babysat for had one and I really liked it.  You really only need to have one of these at home because you just rinse it off and it is ready to be used again.  With fabric bibs you have to have a bunch because they have to be laundered. Another benefit to it not being fabric is that it won't start looking dingy and stained the way that fabric bibs do when they are used again and again.
 I love that it has a food catcher...great for catching drips now and pieces of food that would end up on the floor (when he is older). 

Bresden is loving eating solid foods and

I am loving the convenience of the
Boon Squirt & Baby Bjorn Bib.

Thanks
CSN Stores!!!
