Suction bowls for kids - do they actually work?

[nelly]

yep ditto. DS just pulled them off anyway - was challenge and a game.

We were given one as a baby gift. Both boys were able to pull it off the first time we used it LOL!

We use one EVERY night. I find that Oskar only pulls at it when he's had enough food. It makes it easier for him to be able to use his spoon or fork as he's not yet understanding about the whole concept of holding the bowl to keep it still whilst trying to get say mashed potato scooped up and the bowl sliding across the high chair tray. I just got one from Big W which came with a spoon and fork.... bowl is blue, suction part yellow and the spoon and fork are blue I think?? Change colour if food too hot... actually now I can't remember if I bought them seperate... anyway, short answer to your question, yes I find it good as opposed to everyone else so far...lol.

Nope, no good. DD pulled it off straight away. DH on the other hand couldn't get it off at all and I had to give him a lesson!!

I love the suction bowl Leasha. Ds stopped taking food off a spoon not long ago, ans his diet is pretty limited. But i found with the suction bowl, where he can see the food and feed himself with one spoon while I shovel it in with the other, he is much happier and actually eats.

If he gets really determined, he *can* get the bowl off, so I have to keep an eye on it... but the actual suction piece stays stuck, it's just the bowl that comes off
