Kambry is just starting to learn how to feed herself. I was frustrated with the bowls that I had bought for her and with Tucker when he was a baby. I looked around and I found Baby Dipper. This is truly a great product! What I love about the Baby Dipper bowl set is that it has rubber on the bottom so that it does not slide around on the table, or on Kambry’s high chair when I am trying to feed her or let her try to feed herself. She grasps the spoon very well and is doing surprisingly well with self feeding.
Here is a video to show me feeding Kambry and her feeding herself. Notice how the bowl does NOT slip.
How was Baby Dipper thought of? Here is the story:
As a stay-at-home mom of twin babies, I faced the daunting task of feeding them. Frustrated with the bowls I had already purchased, I investigated and bought other bowls, but still remained disappointed. The vision for the Baby Dipper® bowl came to me when Cora and Greta were about 6 months old, not long after they started eating baby cereal and other pureed foods. I needed a bowl that required only one hand to successfully feed a baby, but why wasn’t there one on the market that satisfied this need?I was thinking that to accomplish one-handed feeding, the bowl should not slide around on the table and it should aid in the collection of the baby food. A non-slip bottom surface would keep it from sliding. A sloped interior surface and a spoon-shaped collection point would help gather the food down to the last bite. Also, adding to those features, vertical sides would help push food onto the spoon and transparent sides would allow the food to be seen easily by both the parent and the child. The bowl I designed has proven to make feeding much easier for parents and even for toddlers trying to spoon-feed themselves. The Baby Dipper bowl is truly unique in the marketplace and hopefully will help parents everywhere.
What is great about the Baby Dipper?
- Contoured interior guides food to spoon
- Spoon fits in lower corner of bowl
- Non-slip base helps prevent sliding
- Transparent sides allow easy viewing of food
I only wish I knew about Baby Dipper when Tucker was just learning to feed himself. I love it and think this is a great holiday gift item, stocking stuff for mom to be or new baby and a great baby shower gift!

Make your own food for baby so they get used to eating what you eat.

Sometimes, it’s nice to just let them dig in without utensils. Our son is 9 months old and loved Thanksgiving dinner the other night! Instead of feeding it to him bite by bite, or trying to help him use the spoon (which he really doesn’t understand still) we put a little of everything on a plate and let him do all the work with his hands! It was messy, but he did a really nice job feeding himself and ate the whole plate, seconds, and a little bit of thirds (of course, these were small portions)!

I would love to win this for my friend…I have one and i know she really wants one! A feeding tip..Don’t rush!
[Reply]
Never try to force a child to eat. If they are not hungry or don’t want to eat then take a break, don’t keep trying to feed them.
[Reply]
Don’t force foods. If the baby really doesn’t like it you will just create feeding problems as they get older. Just try to make it a happy feeding experience.
[Reply]
My friend just won one of these and I’m bugging her to give it to me! lol anyway I’d like to say using the rubber ended spoons is helpful, if the baby bites it wrong it wont hurt as badly

start with one new taste at a time
[Reply]
I always use a molded plastic bib that has a place for the food to fall into. It saves on messes and my kids with better appetities use to retrieve extra food out of there.
[Reply]
little bites and pieces…let the baby take his her her time in the beginning to get used to taste and texture…always have food on hand in the beginning that you can feed them, and that they can try to feed themselves… would LOVE this bowl for sister having new baby.
THANKS

My feeding tip is let the baby feed itself as soon as it shows an interest. My daughter loves eating frozen peas all by herself.

Thanks for the contest. My feeding tip would be, never tried to feed the little one while the tv is on and they can see it. My baby loves commercials and they come on just as I’m putting a spoonful up there and she normally wears it.
[Reply]
Enter me I’d love it for my son
[Reply]
Love it! I need one, my one year old loves to feed himself but he makes a huge mess! My only tip is to get a dog…they clean the floor up just as well as a mop and I don’t have to do anything!
[Reply]
My tip is to not put a towel underneath the highchair – inevitably food will end up on the floor no matter how careful you are!
[Reply]
My tip would be to serve healthy foods in small portions. This is great!
[Reply]
tip – don’t stress out about what they are eating…it only makes it worse
[Reply]
I would like to share is to offer your kids healthy foods and vegtables at every meal so they don’t feel forced to clear their plate of the serving during each meal. I know children are a lot more willing to do something when they’re not forced and get to make their own desicions.
[Reply]
I would like to donate this to our local shelter for women and children. They can use all the help we can give them.
[Reply]
my best tip is to use the plastic guards that go under the high chair, they save you on clean up big time, especially with food throwers!

I would give the advice to keep trying to introduce new foods even if your kid doesn’t liek them at first. One day they might surprise you and take a bite!
[Reply]
use a large bib-might be messy, and offer foods that are easy for the child to pick up with their spoon

My tip is to change your baby’s clothes before meal time if he or she is wearing a treasured outfit! No matter how big or absorbent the bib is, Murphy’s law says it won’t hold. Thanks for the chance to win!
[Reply]
We’re just starting solid foods, but I’m finding that mixing her rice cereal with vegetables entices her to eat more.
[Reply]
My tip is to give your baby/toddler a variety of food to try–not just the usual bananas and peas!
[Reply]
let the baby get used to one taste at a time. You want to make sure your baby doesn’t have allergies to anything and they get a chance to identify each taste separately.

Maintain a happy atmosphere at the table … talk to your baby, praise and encourage him and smile sweetly if he refuses to eat. Keep any feeding problems in perspective – “fussy feeding” phases seem awfully long and worrying at the time, but most babies go through them. Just continue to offer a wide variety of healthy foods and things WILL settle down

feeding tip- don’t be in a hurry and only put a little in thebowl each time
