Those are called Take N Toss cups. They come with either just a spout or a straw. You can find them everywhere.
7,311,702
mommit
Umm can't remember the name but the package said something about a 4 pack of disposable cups with lids and straws. They can be disposable but have been washed and reused many times.
7,311,703
mommit
I used the baby bullet but when making more then just a serving for her I do use my blender As for some mixtures, the base is always oj or a bit of water and vanilla yogurt (i use greek for added protein). You can add mixed berries, any fruit really. As for veggies, frozen avocado chunks, frozen spinach, shredded carr...
7,311,704
mommit
No just a cup then I usually hold the straw but this particular cup has a lid so the straw was secure. You want something that can be washed easily.
7,311,705
mommit
They are called take and toss cups you can find them on Amazon and at Walmart they are only 4 bucks for a 4 pack (I don't toss them they are able to be reused over and over)
7,311,706
mommit
Haha. Mine’s the same but with dried seaweed snacks.

If you have a Costco membership/nearby Costco they have giant bags of power greens mix (baby kale, baby spinach, and baby chard) it blends into smoothies way better than other kale and chard that I’ve found and the bags are only $4-5 for.

Not only CAN they eat these foods but they should. Flax seeds and Chia seeds are a fantastic source of fiber, magnesium, and protein. I also put flax meal and chia seeds in a sprinkle container for my son to sprinkle his food with. Cinnamon can cause rashes for children with more sensitive skin but shouldn’t cause any ...
7,311,709
mommit
They absolutely can, starting at 6 months. A simple google search would tell you as much.

I have a silicone one that’s AMAZING! Dishwasherable. Has a valve so they don’t volcano it all out. He’s current drinking smoothie in it while I Reddit. I also put soup, yogurt/cereal/apple sauce. (Squeasy brand I think?) I find it much easier to clean than the ziploc bag style ones
7,311,711
mommit
Yes! On Amazon, I got a pack of 10 and keep most of them in the freezer. I pull one out the day before I want to give it to him. I love knowing that he’s getting veggies and it’s cheaper to buy a bag of spinach and some blueberries than to constantly buy new pouches
7,311,712
mommit
Highly recommend the reusable ones! I blend homemade applesauce with half veggies and the littles gobble it up!
7,311,713
mommit
Yes!! You can buy the infantino pouch station too and there are refillable pouches compatible with it. They zip at the bottom and are dishwasher safe. It's on my purchase list for next payday. They also have pouch covers so they can only suck the pouch, they can't squeeze it. I'll be buying a couple of those when my d...
7,311,714
mommit
Same. Mine LOVED green beans and broccoli and now he won't eat them.
7,311,715
mommit
Hahaha this was my kid, too. Then he turned 3 and he's trying something new almost every day! Such a relief
7,311,716
mommit
It might be a texture thing I think.
7,311,717
mommit
Oh sorry not you. I was supposed to comment on the [identical post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mommit/comments/matmpq/mom_hack_when_they_dont_want_to_eat_whats_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) This was the original. My bad.
7,311,718
mommit
Haha on the hubby comment. This is super helpful. Thank you!! I’m excited for the possibilities since my two are getting quite picky and I’m out of food ideas.
7,311,719
mommit
Awesome! I have those! Thanks!
7,311,720
mommit
Adding power greens, flax seed, and plain yogurt to smoothies has been my secret for years! How did it get out?!
7,311,721
mommit
You believe google more than pediatricians? Feed your kid whatever you want though. Not my problem.
7,311,722
mommit
Thank you!
7,311,723
mommit
I can second the silicone one. I've purchased both that and the ziploc style reusable ones and it's much much easier fill and clean. Totally worth it!
7,311,724
mommit
Thank you! It’s too expensive to buy baby food so we only make our own and this is great to know!
7,311,725
mommit
Thank you! We were just at a dr’s appointment the other day and I wished that we had something like that because we don’t buy premade baby food (too expensive) this is amazing!
7,311,726
mommit
Omg! I’ve only ever seen the disposable ones from infantino and thought that was too much to spend but reusable ones would be so worth it!
7,311,727
mommit
Can you link those reusable ones? I’ve only seen the disposable ones too!
7,311,728
mommit
You totally don't need to spend money on the pouch station. They're really pretty dang easy to fill with a spoon.
7,311,729
mommit
Yeah could be.
7,311,730
mommit
With smoothies the possibilities are pretty much endless, the oj and vanilla yogurt over power quite a bit!!
7,311,731
mommit
Should mention that I use the ones with the straws
7,311,732
mommit
Every pediatrician we've had for our multiple foster babies have only ever said no honey. Flax, chia, and cinnamon are all fine. Theres even Gerber baby food that has cinnamon in it. A quick Google search will confirm this through evidence based articles.
7,311,733
mommit
Well considering you can find pediatrician recommendations VIA Google.....someone doesn't seem to understand how a search engine works
7,311,734
mommit
The only thing I was told mot to feed my child is honey and shellfish until she’s one. Everything else she can have. Where do you get your information from?
7,311,735
mommit
Look into baby led weaning, if you haven't already! We found it so much cheaper, didn't have to buy baby food or spend time making our own. I occasionally used a pouch in the early days if we were on the go or eating at a restaurant and I didn't want to risk a mess, but other than that it was just a case of preparing...
7,311,736
mommit
For sure! [Here](https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00TXBSHBQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_5CzUFbY42Q95Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) They're not infantino brand but if you look in the Q&A section they tell you that they're compatible.
7,311,737
mommit
It’s a chart made my pediatricians and nutritional specialists and other health care professionals. It’s commonly used in my country. For instance it says that the coumarin in cinnamon can be toxic in large amounts.
7,311,738
mommit
We did BLW for second baby, and wow, so easy. He didn't like being fed, anyhow... he wanted to do everything himself.
7,311,739
mommit
Interesting. If you wanted to find such a chart, how exactly would you go about, ya know, searching for it? Idk about how things go in your country but in my country we would probably GOOGLE it! May I have a link to this chart your referring to?

I can't imagine. You must be in absolute and utter shock and disbelief. I lost my first partner very young and suddenly and I thought the pain would never let up.

I’m so so sorry for this. I urge you, if you don’t already have it, to find a system/village/squad. At least 4+ people that you can call or text or be near at a moments’ notice.

I’m so sorry for your loss and I know the wound is fresh. Take care of yourself and your little one as best as you can. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from anyone who might be able. Speaking to a therapist, when you’re ready, can help a lot but don’t feel rushed.

Things are going to be really hard and awful for a long while. And one day you’ll have a slightly less hard day. And then it’ll get harder again. But gradually the days will get lighter and the waves of grief will become less frequent, less overwhelming. You have a long road ahead of you but you will get through it. Do...
