Baby and Toddler Feeding Set

I always look for the best products that will serve the needs of my children. Here are the factors I consider:

• Price: I am willing to spend for an item if it is durable and can serve its purpose for a reasonable time frame.
• Availability: If I can purchase the item anytime and anywhere. If I can buy it from an international seller like Amazon to save on costs, I schedule the purchase.
• Safety: I always make sure that the products I buy for my children are safe.

When buying any feeding item, here are the things I keep in mind:

• There will be no peeled off layers of the plastic. I once bought a feeding bowl from a department store that peels off because of everyday usage. Peel offs might get into the food of your baby.
• It can be sterilized.
• It will not spill when covered. I always look for non-spill tumblers and food containers.
• Colourful and attractive. I always go for orange and yellow colors if I have the options to choose. Orange color helps enhance the appetite. Yellow is attractive to the eyes of children.

I do not settle for one brand for all the stuff of my children. I choose from a particular brand that is the best for my children. Here are the items on the pictures that I love for my kids.

Pigeon step 2 spout: From SM department store. Pigeon offers different stages of cups for your children.

Munchkin Straw Cup: From Amazon.com (can also be bought from SM department stores, from the big branches such as Megamall though pricey when bought locally). The price of one piece here in the Philippines is equivalent to three pieces from Amazon.com.

We also have the Pigeon’s straw cup but my one year old daughter is having a hard time drinking from it that is why we go for a bigger straw. My eldest son used the Pigeon’s straw cup for a year. He preferred this for a drinking cup. Then we shift to Munchkin’s straw cup. Now, he loves drinking from the Tupperware Eco tumblers. We shifted to tumblers without a straw when we observed that he wants to drink from our tumblers – the bigger version of the Tupperware Eco 1L or 750 ml bottles. Now that it is summer, he can finish 500 ml of water. In our family, we encourage our little ones to drink more water and to always keep themselves hydrated.

First Years Take & Toss: From Amazon (available locally)

Ikea Kalas Feeding Set (Yellow): From Amazon. It is a 36-pc feeding set – 6 plates, 6 bowls, 6 cups, 6 spoons, 6 forks and 6 knives. You can also check online deals that offer the best prices of Ikea Kalas feeding set.

Below is a picture of how the Ikea Kalas feeding set looks like when used everyday. The plastic layers do not peel off.

First Years Toddler Fork, Spoon & Knife: Bought from SM department store with travel case.

Biokips containers: SM department store

Eco Tumbler from Tupperware: 500 ml is perfect for my growing kids.

When I want to save and my children do not need the item immediately, I schedule the purchase. I buy through Amazon.com and have it delivered to a US address, courtesy of cousins and friend. This is to save on shipping costs and to buy quality items. 

Above are some suggestions that you can apply. Just always remember, settle for any item that works best for your children.

Mommy kisses,
