How to use and clean a food feeder

Britton Berry food feeder, 6m+ holds food in a removable mesh bag and has an easy-grip handle and protective cap. It is labelled 6m+ and can be one option for exploring suitable foods.

Prepare a small portion

Wash your hands and prepare food appropriate for your baby's stage. Remove hard pits and other unsuitable parts. Put a small portion in the mesh and close the holder fully, checking the fastening before handing it over. Never assume the mesh makes every food safe.

Use it while seated

Let your baby explore at their own pace while sitting upright, with you beside them. Britton Easy-Roll bib can help keep clothing cleaner. A feeder is a feeding accessory, not something to leave in a cot or use while moving around.

Clean straight after use

Empty leftovers, remove the mesh as instructed and rinse away food before it dries. The Britton product information allows washing on the dishwasher's top rack. Wash the handle, closure and cap too, then dry the separate parts before storage.

Check condition before using again

Inspect the mesh for tears and the closure for damage or looseness. Stop using it if anything is worn or damaged. The feeder does not remove choking risk or the need for adult supervision.
