Win a Two-Pack of Baby Dipper Bowls!
You know a product is going to be great when it's designed by a mom. I recently confirmed this when I discovered the Baby Dipper bowl, which is a perfect example of Mom Ingenuity in action. Invented by a mother of two sets of young twins, it was her solution to the problem of trying to feed her big family -- while keeping one hand free and her floors clean!
Barbara Schantz, inventor of the Baby Dipper bowl, describes how she came up with her fabulous idea: "I was thinking that to accomplish one-handed feeding, the bowl should not slide around on the table, and it should aid in the collection of the baby food. A non-slip bottom surface would keep it from sliding. A sloped interior surface and a spoon-shaped collection point would help gather the food down to the last bite. Also, adding to those features, vertical sides would help push food onto the spoon and transparent sides would allow the food to be seen easily by both the parent and the child. The bowl I designed has proven to make feeding much easier for parents and even for toddlers trying to spoon-feed themselves. The Baby Dipper bowl is truly unique in the marketplace and hopefully will help parents everywhere."
Barbara was kind enough to send me one of her bowls, and my boys thought it was so cool! It's truly space-age looking, with its triangular design, nonstick base, sloping bottom, and curved spoon. I remember how many times our bowls ended up on the floor when my twins were small. This product would have been a real mess-saver for us! If you're looking for a really unique and useful gift for someone who's pregnant or has a baby, this fits the bill perfectly!
Barbara is generously allowing me to give a Baby Dipper bowl two-pack (that's one bowl for each twin!) to four randomly picked members of TwinsTalk!

Baby Dipper bowl
How About Adults!
What a great idea.....lord knows that trying to feed 2 babies can be a handful literally and it's generally a slip and slide event on the dinner table with bowls and cups going everywhere. The non-slip feature is nice! I'm thinking my husband could use one of these too :)

My twins are older now but I would love it for my baby. I like the "no slide" option. Plus it looks real cute!
The bowl!
As a first time mom with twins, this product looks like it will really help with feeding. The non-slip base will definitely help keep my floors clean and those cool corners look like they will help the girls get all their food easily.
Baby Dipper Bowl
What a great bowl. I could have used the non skid bottom today! We had sweet potatoes everywhere : )
We have just started the girls on their vegetables and I think the bowl will make the process alot more fun for everyone.
neat invention
The baby dipper bowl looks like an answer to twin-mom prayers. Heaven knows we could always use an extra hand and now with my 9-month old girls wanting to feed themselves, the contoured spoon looks like it would help them be much more successful!

I wish I had had this when my twins were first learning how to feed themselves. It is amazing! We are expecting #3 and this would be a lifesaver!
