Use and Re-use

Kids love snacks, am I right?!

My two year old asks for a snack about 37 times a day.

 

It is super vital, in our home, to have prepared snacks, ready to grab, at all times.

That’s why I’m loving WeeSprout and the re-usable food pouches they make. Keep reading to hear all about them and other products they offer.

Using these reusable pouches means you’re using less waste – keeping the environment a little more clean. The WeeSprout products and packaging are made from recyclable materials; they truly use ‘green’ in every aspect of their business.

SILICONE DIVIDED TODDLER PLATES

The WeeSprout divided plates are the perfect addition to our home. I love using these plates for our two year old.

BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalate free. These are all materials we don’t want in the products we’re using; especially when eating off them.

Made of 100% food grade silicone, these FDA/LFGB certified plates are perfectly safe for children.

These plates come in a variety of bright, fun colors; all available in packs of three. I love bright colors, and our house is full of them, so these plates are the perfect addition to our kitchen!

The plates are so easy to clean, and can even go into the dishwasher. Not only that, but the plates are perfectly safe to in the microwave too!

I love that the plates nest together. Storage space is minimal because of how well they sit together; which is very important in our little house. Because of how well they stack they can stay super organized – this mama loves that feature!

“NATURE’S LITTLE SQUEEZE” REUSABLE FOOD POUCHES

Preparing healthy food just got a lot easier with these reusable food pouches. These pouches are not only reducing waste because of the reusable factor, but they are saving you money and giving you the option to give your child exactly what you want them to eat. We all want our kids to eat healthy, right? So these pouches truly allow you to be creative and fill them up with true, raw, natural ingredients.

WeeSprout makes it easy to fill the pouches with applesauce, smoothies, yogurt, baby food, fruit and/or veggie purees. Filling and cleaning the pouches is easy because of the extra wide zipper opening. I would recommend using a funnel to fill the pouches. I have found that it’s much easier and less messy doing it this way.

The bottom of the pouch has two zippers that close easily and are super strong. We haven’t had any leaking problems with these pouches. The duel zippers really do keep leaks at bay. We all know that this is a huge positive when giving kids food. Last thing we want is to find some fruit puree on the floor or in the car seat.

The rounded corners on the top of the pouches means there is no corners for food to get trapped in. When cleaning, water flows easily through the zipper opening and down out the spout – easy peezy! It is recommended that before putting the pouches on the top rack of the dishwasher you rinse them.

My favorite aspect of the pouches is that I can freeze them. This makes my life so much easier; it saves me a ton of time too! When filling my pouches I make a large batch of whatever I’m filling it with, and then freeze the extra pouches. Seriously such a lifesaver.

When thawing a pouch I recommend using the same method you would when warming up a baby bottle. Fill a bowl, cup, or container with hot water and place the pouch in the water until thawed. Warm the water in the microwave if needed. You can also hold the pouch under warm water until thawed to your desire.

These food pouches are perfect for children of all ages. There are three sizes of pouches offered: 3.4oz, 5oz, and 7oz. We have the 3.4oz. and 5oz. pouches and they are great for our two year old; I think the 7oz. would be too much for him.

 

The WeeSprout products are the perfect addition to your home. These reusable, eco-friendly products are easy to clean and make being in the kitchen with children more tolerable. The fun colors will bring your home brightness and the products are easy to stack and store.

Avanchy

avanchy-review

Since my daughter was six months old she has been in her high chair at the dinner table. Slowly we introduced foods one piece at a time and I would place it on her tray. It didn’t take long for her to demand a plate and silverware like everyone else at the table. Being a first time mom and not really putting much thought into toddler dishes, I was unprepared and only had my ceramic dishes to offer. Although they were the perfect size, I was waiting for my plate to hit the floor when she was done eating. Nervous to use cheap plastic dishes full of chemicals that could leach into my child’s food, I was on the hunt for dishes that were safe for my daughter and something that would last and not need to be replaced.eating

Avanchy’s dishware is perfect for my independent toddler. As soon as I placed the bowl in front of her she tried to pick it up. The suction base proved to be stronger than my 16 month old, a major win in my book.

The Bamboo Baby Training Spoon has a nice silicone tip, which helps food stay on the spoon and is gentle on your child’s sensitive gums and teeth. The handle is ideal for tiny hands trying to navigate feeding themselves. Avanchy also offers Bamboo Baby Training Forks.

The bowl itself might seem large for a childs bowl, but I have found that the size is appropriate. Any smaller and I think my daughter would fling food out while trying to scoop it onto her spoon.

The Avanchy Bamboo Suction Plate is the perfect size whether you place on a highchair tray or directly onto your table. The plate itself is divided into three sections which is great for keeping food separate for picky eaters or entertaining for those that like rearranging their food while they eat.

I love that the suction base is removable, allowing these dishes to grow with your child.

 Avanchy dishware, designed for your baby, but so beautiful and versatile that you will want to use them too.
