4.0 out of 5 stars Best mesh feeder I've seen, June 3, 2008

My daughter got this from my mother and at first she wanted nothing to do with it, screamed every time it got near her mouth so my husband & I figured she didn't like it and put it away. Fast forward about 2 weeks and we were desperate one night while fixing dinner so I pulled it out and tried it again, she was more accepting of it this time and once she figured out food came out of it she loved it. The best things I've found with it (so far) is strawberries w/ seeds cut off & bread/ bagel pieces to suck/ chew on without fear of choking. One cavaet: DO NOT use with bananas it is a pain to clean off, I eventually had to watch the mesh twice then soak it in very diluted bleach and finally wash it again to get it clean.

I like the construction of the Nuby better then either Munchkin or Sassy feeders. In my opinion the mesh is finer but yet easier to ger something out of, it's easier to clean & the twist/ turn method is better then then the 'snap' close of the others. It's great for them on chew & suck on to get new flavors but I wouldn't use it for true teething purposes, the mesh can irritate already sore gums (which may have been our problem at first) and it can wear down over time so you'll have to replace it quicker.

4.0 out of 5 stars great product for weaning and teething, October 27, 2010

I am using these with my now 8 month old son (started a month ago), and I wish I'd had them for my first. I'm giving them to everyone I know with weaning/teething infants. My son figured it out right away and loves it, sometimes for the food, sometimes just to gnaw on the handle. It's perfect at restaurants to pick out bits of all the grown up food for the baby to try (my oldest loves sharing) - it enhances both kids' experiences. It's also great for the obvious feeding more whole foods at home to let the baby experience new tastes/textures (not much diminished by the net as far as I can tell). And on more occasions than one, putting ice in there to aid teething pain has saved many tears... even just to soothe baby's mouth so he can go back to eating his regular meal.
Some reviewers mention the difficulty with cleaning some foods (esp. banana) out of the net, but I have found it's not too hard... getting the remaining food out can be slimy, but rubbing some dish soap around the net (inside out) with my fingers and rinsing well has worked easily every time. It's dishwasher-safe, but mine has not been effective on messy nets, so I stick to hand-washing that part.
The only downside I've experienced is that there's no good way to attach this to my toddler, and when he drops/throws it to the floor, it can need a rinsing before I'll give it back (wet nets attract much). I like the chunky, easy-to-hold handle the way it is and prefer that design to some that are more like large plastic loops, so I would not use a different feeder, but it seems a small loop on the end of the handle that would allow for attaching would make this a truly perfect product.

4.0 out of 5 stars baby loves it, August 5, 2011

I heard about fresh food feeders from a friend, and so I went out and got a couple different kinds to try. I like the Nuby Nibbler b/c it has removable bags, making it easy to clean and cost-effective to replace/update down the road if we need to. To clean, I just take the bag out, flip inside out under running water to remove any clinging food, and then put the parts in the dishwasher. (Note that our dishwasher water is VERY hot, but we air dry, so I have not seen how it holds up if I use the machine-dry cycle.)

I like that the Nibbler is impossible for my baby to open. It took some time for me to figure it out the squeeze and twist locking mechanism, but I discovered you have to 1) squeeze and twist, and then 2) squeeze and pull. To put the thing back together once you have food in it is even more of a challenge; you have to do those 2 steps in reverse. After a couple of times I got the hang of it. I give it 4 stars b/c of this difficulty, but I don't see it as a drawback.

It took a couple of times for my 12mo baby to get the hang of munching on it, but she loves it now. Her favorite food content is a peeled chunk of raw apple. She seems to find the handle easy to hold, although she does hold onto the bag itself some.
