Utensils/Storage for food

I can understand the situation :hide:..We cannot avoid this in these kind of family system..Better we stay good from our side.You sterilize everything before use.Now-a-days you get a kit for sterilizing baby products,fetch something like that or go for manual process of heating water and cleaning in them.

Like the nuby spoons try to get the main utensils from similar brands(feeding bowls,sippy cup and so on)..obviously these will be untouched by others..These days we get good quality baby-products in chennai without any compromise..check for stores like Just-born,Naidu Hall,Mothercare,Apollo pharmacy and so on.

By the way where did you get those nuby spoons..if someone is there in U.S. to help you well and good get things through them :thumbsup

 

Ramya, we used either Prime brand of m/w and freezer safe plastic that has PP5 on it and tupperware ( gifts) for food. If you can manage with SS, it is even better. No risk of BPA, phthalates, etc. I did use nuby and first step spoon and fork sets.
For freezing I used ziplocs and small stackable m/w cups from Prime. I used a keep warm bag (actually a diaper bag) that my sister gave me for the food when we were on the road.

 

everything for Z is seperate.
in the morning i wash everything in hot water with dishwashing soap and microwave sterilize it. later for the whole day i keep it in the sterilizer itself.

for feeding i have these stackable cups from fisher price, we got at baby store. good thing about these are they are microwave n freezer safe too.

for storage, i have a few of these freezer safe containers we got here locally, but they are from mothercare

1 hv one SS vessel for making her purees, i steam veggied whenever i have time on hand. Also i have a 1 litre miniature pressure cooker separate for her. her water from the purifier is boiled, dunno why but i find it a bit of peace of mind with this double process, and we use the same vessel for boiling her water.

but for us its easy since its only me n DH and he has been warned to keep bubs vessel separate. maybe u can occupy one of the shelves,drawers for her and keep all her vessels in that, and inform the others

 

ramya its available in mothercare, and online too.

 

Ramya,

Keep your LO's vessels always seperate and wash/clean it seperately.
I use silver cup, tumbler and spoon for him, so no worries about BPA...for preparation it is SS.
I use pigeon brand food storage box for travel. It is good and you have place to mash apple/potato/anything...and it is microwavable too....

 

Hi Padmini,

Can you please let me know why one uses silver as a medium for serving and storing? One of my colleague too serves her daughter food in Silver spoon. I just got an interesting article http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&so...DmyN8J&usg=AFQjCNHAJpSs7G4uz0zNU_OOtNWLNcJfdw

Is it Silver Spoon in the Mouth Story ? Mommies are all of you doing the same.

 

Lee,

Our tradition says eating anything through silver is good for health (i dont know how far, i can check with my mom and MIL and give you the full details). In our house we use to eat only in silver plates and so it continues for all LO's utensils. Only I know the pain of cleaning it:hide:...
I shl tel u the full description soon...

 

Thanks Padmi,

How do you clean it? Just my inquisitive mind needs to know.
