New Baby Spoon
Flowspoon is a great new baby spoon that is closed on one end with a
hole. It sounds strange, but it works like magic! Because the food is being sucked out, it goes down without a mess, instead of squishing out of the baby's mouth. I got a free sample from a friend who is selling them on Amazon.com. It prevents air from being swallowed with food. It would be great for infants with GIRD. |

I also cannot picture how attempting to suck a thicker pureed food or chunks of food through a straw device results in elimination of swallowed air - sounds completley the opposite to me. A baby eating with any utensil needs to learn to chew their food and chewing their food takes time, which in turn results in the body having a moment to tell the brain when it is full, which I've heard takes around 10 minutes. You can suck pureed foods down in a matter of 3-4 minutes, resulting in baby finishing an entire serving of something that they may have otherwise only consumed half of. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me at all. Maybe a novelty for kids eating ice cream for the melted ice cream at the bottom of the bowl, but not baby food. |

Maybe a novelty for kids eating ice cream for the melted ice cream at the bottom of the bowl If you have'nt actually bothered to look at the product, this explains your misunderstanding of its application. It's for infants who are just taking their first feedings of "solid" food. Doctors recommend infants start on an infant cereal blended with breast milk (or formula if your baby has special dietary needs) to a smooth and thin consistency. Infants should not start on pureed foods until they have been on simple grains first. The reason for this is to give their digestive tract time to adjust. Particular digestive enzimes and bacteria are present at different stages. Food allergies are also a concern if you begin even pureed fruits too soon.You should never feed your 4 to 6 month-old baby any food which has "chunks" in it, for obvious reasons. It takes time for infants to learn how to move semi- solid food from the front of the mouth to the esophagus. They begin by ejecting the food as a natural reflex of both trying to suck (in which the tongue moves up and forward in order to create negative pressure), and the tongue-thrust reflex which is a choking preventative reflex present from birth. By simply creating full circumferential contact with the infant's mouth, the spoon employs the sucking reflex. But it is by no means a "straw". It simply creates a surface for the baby's upper lip to seal with so she can actually get the food into her mouth. She's sucking on a regular baby spoon too...nothing is different or unatural. In fact, because she is trying to suck, she ends up having the same bite reintroduced many times before she actually swallows it. For every time the spoonful is reintroduced, that's another chance to ingest air with the food. That's the reason this product would be great for babies with GERD. Ingested air is a major aggravation in the condition. A transitional feeding spoon is a great idea for the first few weeks of feeding the thin infant cereal/milk mixture. |

You've followed me to 3 boards and felt the need to try to educate me on issues I need no education on? LMAO. First of all, once the baby "sucks" its food through this hole on this product, it will get air because second of all, any baby who doesn't know how to put it's lips down over a regular spoon won't know how to do so to accommodate this thing and will therefore suck out air at the end of each "suck.", not to mention this seems to be something one with a child younger than 4-6 months would use, which is against recommended guidelines. Thirdly, I am quite aware of how the digestive system develops, and it is widely believed, by even the WHO and AAP, that the infant systems are ready by six months of age, (or longer for children with a family history of food allergies) at which age they also don't have to out-and-out suck food off of a spoon. Most are also able to self-feed manageable and appropriate thicker items and they even have their first attempts at *holding* their own utensils if so inclined to mimic, which is big. Also, I was not simply referring to a six-month-old infant in my comments to the use of the spoon, thereby the comments pertaining to chunks. Older infants have GERD too. Older infants face less of an air-swallowing issue as well. Lastly, the tongue-thrust reflex and ability to chew are both gone and developed, respectively, to feed normally, and not as you describe it. My best guess is that you must be the inventor of this spoon. |

You are aware that there are citable studies searchable online that
indicate that the swallowing of air does not increase acid reflux aren't you? For every time the spoonful is reintroduced, that's another chance to ingest air with the food. That's the reason this product would be great for babies with GERD. Ingested air is a major aggravation in the condition.

I'm sorry you have obviously not seen the product and still feel the
need to be negative and unpleasant. Your assertion that: "the baby "sucks" its food through this hole on this product, it will get air because second of all, any baby who doesn't know how to put it's lips down over a regular spoon won't know how to do so..." is erroneous on two points. First: the size of the cavity holds an amount of cereal/milk that equals a comfortable "bite", or mouthful for an infant between the age of 4 and 8 months. It has been tested, and has demonstrated effective delivery of semi-liquid smooth foods. Second: an infant who can make oral contact with a nipple will also be able to utilize this utensil because the end of the spoon is shaped exactly like a slightly depressed nipple. The tongue-thrust reflex dissipates after the age of 4 months. The ability to chew does not develop until well after the infant has learned to move solid food from the front of the mouth to the back of the mouth and into the esophagus simply with the action of the tongue, not by any means of mastication. You are correct in your assumption that the post was offered as advertisement for a new product. However, you are incorrect in your assumption that anyone cares to "follow" you on your various excursions to internet attractions which apparently occupy quite a bit of your leisure time. |
