Making Eating With The Family More Pleasant - Full Liquid Phase

[Amanda 3.0 140]

I have a few more weeks of full liquids to go.

It just wasn't that fun to eat with the family. I don't mind that they are eating something different (although baked chicken certainly smells better than bean Soup or oatmeal), but taking so long to eat 2T - 4T of food, and it being cold quickly, and much of it being stuck to the bowl, and the spoon too big for small containers, was just no fun!

So I took some advice and bought an electric mug warmer off Amazon. Some of the negative reviews stated that it didn't keep coffee "hot", it kept it "warm". One person's curse is another person's blessing, I guess. So I keep that at my place at the table.

I also went to a restaurant supply and bought six cute small glass bowls with very sloped sides, and a dozen demitasse spoons.

It feels much more civilized now!

Good afternoon all,

i just went to my local grocery store, they have some baby supplies there. In one pkg there were 6 itsy bitsy teaspoons. I also bought little bowl w/matching covers.

Besides being really helpful - they are the cutest things you ever saw

Amanda that was a great suggestion about the cup warmer. I'm going shopping today.

As far as eating w/the family - my DH feels funny eating in front of me. i tell him it really is ok - but he still feels weird eating what he does in front of my delicious oatmeal.

Kathy,

I looked at some baby food spoons too, that was my original idea on Amazon. Then I thought of demitasse spoons I already own but they are really nice, and were a gift, so I didn't want to ruin those.

I found the basic demitasse spoons at the restaurant supply for like $2 for a dozen!

The mug warmer is great. I wish I could remember where I read about it and go say thanks.
