Sainsburys weaning bowl

N.B. The review is about the single feeding bowl not the pack of 4.

With little grandson having made a completely unexpected visit and being very hungry, (and me with no food), it was time for me to invest in lots of bits and pieces for him to use should it happen again.

WHAT IS IT?

As the name suggests it is a weaning bowl which is for use with children from 4 months onwards; probably because this is about the age of weaning.

The bowl can be used for feeding as well as for heating food in the microwave and for freezing food, and can also be cleaned in the dishwasher, so it's very handy.

PRODUCT AND PACKAGING...

The plastic bowl comes in a cardboard sleeve with all the information on the sleeve. The bowl itself is dark blue with a green lid and is shaped so that there is a protrusion on the bowl presumably for the adult to hang onto the bowl whilst baby tries to throw it! The green lid closes slightly off centre to the bowl shape and this makes it very easy to lift off and to push back on to the bowl.

It is PVC free and is safety tested, complying with specific and noted regulations.




USING IT...

The bowl should be placed in boiling water before use to ensure that it is really clean, and then after that it can be used according to what you want to use it for.

There are a number of what i think are quite common sense warnings including;

* Use under adult supervision- no leaving baby to throw the contents onto the floor
* Clean before each use!!
* Cold water sterilisation is recommended
*
PRICE AND AVAILABILITY...

Available instore at sainsburys, the bowl, if I remember rightly, cost around the £2 mark. This seems a lot for what is in effect, a plastic bowl but it is very sturdy and can withstand lots of use.

VERDICT...

This is a very well made and handy bowl. We have a few of them now and have used them to feed Little man- we put his food in the bowl and heat it to the desired temperature and off we go. I have also made meals and frozen them ready for him to eat, and the bowls suffer no ill effects in the freezer; i think I was almost expecting it to crack. So, it really can go from freezer to microwave to dishwasher and even the colours don't fade, ensuring that it doesn't look all nasty and washed out. The lid is easy to lift on and off so if you already have food in the bowl, there is no struggling to get the lid off and when it finally pops, the food also pops out!

A good value, sturdy and nice looking (can a bowl be nice looking?) weaning bowl for baby

Thanks for reading.
