TAKING THE MESS OUT of mealtimes THESE 10 PRODUCTS CAN HELP FOOD END UP IN YOUR BABY'S MOUTH - NOT OVER THE WALLS E very parent knows how difficult it can be to manage a child's feeding routine. From nightly bottle feeds to weaning and on-the-go snack-times, there are a number of challenges to overcome throughout the various stages of your child's early development. The team at Munchkin believes that mealtimes should be fun, not stressful. That's why it has created a special range of feeding accessories and utensils, specifically designed to make a parent's life easier. Here's a list of 10 must-have feeding essentials that will see your baby right through from the moment they first begin to feed, to 12 months+. 1 LATCH™ BOTTLE Ensuring your baby gets the correct amount of nutrition from their feeds is crucial during those important first months. If you choose to introduce a bottle while breastfeeding your child, the LATCH™ bottle could be a great option. Suitable from birth, LATCH™ has two distinct features: an accordion-style teat that pumps and rotates to be more like the breast and nipple, and an anti-colic valve to reduce colic symptoms by controlling the flow of air inside the bottle. 2 LATCH™ STERILISE BAGS Sterilising your baby's bottle in a safe and clean way can be challenging when you're away from home. LATCH™ Sterilise Bags are a solution to this common problem. Available in packs of six, the handy pouches kill up to 99.9% of common bacteria on bottles, pump parts and accessories in as little as 90 seconds. Plus, each one can be used 30 times and includes an Easy Close Pull Tab for straightforward, repeated use. 3 PROTECT™ BOOSTER CHAIR COVER Sometimes, no matter how much care you take, baby mealtimes can turn out to be a little unpredictable. To ensure your furniture survives food stains and grease, the Protect™ Booster Cover uses Xtra-Grip traction pads™ to keep booster seats in place, while the top fabric catches spills. Simply attach it to your chair to stop signs of wear and tear.
