FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can the Feeder be sterilized?
The nipple can be sterilized. Hand-wash the Forage Feeder base in warm, soapy water. Do not boil or microwave the handle. Wash before each use.
Can the Ice Tray be sterilized?
Yes. The matching Moss and Fawn ice tray can be sterilized. The tray is custom made to fit the Forage Baby Food Feeder nipple.
How to clean Feeder
Hand-wash the base in warm, soapy water. The food-grade silicone nipple can go in the dishwasher or be sterilized. Dry fully. Cleaning steps are also in the digital booklet from the QR code on the box.
How many ounces does the ice cube tray hold?
About 3 oz. total. Each cube is about 8 ml. The tray can hold breast milk, formula, baby food, yogurt, bone broth, juice, or smoothies. Cubes are sized for the Forage Baby Food Feeder nipple.
What age can my baby start using the feeder?
Product guidance: many families use the Forage Feeder around 4 months for supervised frozen breast milk or formula pops if baby can hold the handle and bring it to the mouth. Food in the feeder waits until your baby has starting solids. Three nipple sizes are included to grow with your baby. Always supervise.
Can formula be used in the ice cube tray?
Yes. Freeze formula in the ice tray the same way as breast milk. Texture can change by brand. Pop a cube into the Forage Baby Food Feeder nipple, snap shut, give to your baby while being supervised.
What is a silicone feeder, and is it the same as mesh?
The Forage Feeder is a silicone baby food feeder: a handle plus a perforated food-grade silicone nipple. It is not a mesh feeder. Mesh is fabric. Moss and Fawn makes silicone because it rinses clean and does not hold pulp the way mesh can.
Silicone vs mesh: which stays cleaner?
Silicone is easier to rinse. Mesh can trap pulp and stay damp. Hand-wash the Forage Baby Food Feeder base. The silicone nipple can be dishwasher-safe or sterilized. Dry fully after every use.
What can go in the Forage Feeder before solids?
Frozen fresh breast milk or formula cubes made in the matching ice tray. That is the teething use. Soft food waits until you have started solids. Snap the feeder shut and supervise your baby.
Can I freeze breast milk and put it in the Forage Baby Food Feeder?
Yes. Freeze fresh milk in the ice tray, pop a cube into the nipple, snap shut, and supervise. Do not refreeze thawed milk.
Can I use milk I already thawed?
Do not refreeze thawed milk. Make new cubes from fresh milk in the ice tray.
Can I refreeze leftover milk pops?
No. Do not refreeze leftover thawed pops.
What foods can I put in the Forage Baby Food Feeder Feeder?
After you have started solids: soft, mashable food such as ripe banana, avocado, stewed apple, ripe pear, yogurt, or cooked vegetable. Do not overfill the nipple.
What should I never put in the Forage Feeder?
Do not overfill. Check the nipple before each use and replace it if there is a hole.
Is the Forage Baby Food Feeder baby-led weaning?
It is a support tool, not a full BLW method. Families use it as an on-ramp for tastes and hand-to-mouth practice.
What size nipple should I use?
The Forage Baby Food Feeder includes three sizes, roughly 4–6 months, 6–10 months, and 10+ months. Start with the size that matches how your baby is using it: smaller for early milk pops, larger as they chew more. Replace a worn or bitten top.
When do I stop using the feeder?
When baby is eating open soft food well and the feeder is only a snack helper. Many families keep it for travel or teething that lasts up to 2 years old.
Is this a pacifier? Can it go in the crib?
No. The Forage Feeder is a feeder and teething tool, not a pacifier. Do not clip it in a crib for sleep. The cap is for travel while baby is awake and supervised.
Why buy the ice tray?
Cubes are custom sized for the Forage Baby Food Feeder nipple. A kitchen tray makes awkward chunks that do not fit. The ice tray holds about 3 oz total.
What is in the box?
Forage Baby Food Feeder handle, three nipple sizes, cap, and digital booklet. Ice tray is sold separately or in Baby First Bites Bundle or Little Explorer Kit.
Feeder alone or Baby First Bites?
Feeder alone if you already have the Moss and Fawn Ice Cube Tray. You will want the Baby First Bites Bundle if you want milk pops that fit the Forage Baby Food Feeder nipple.
Is it tested?
Yes. Forage products are tested to CPSIA and FDA standards and tested free of BPA, PVC, phthalates, and lead. Non- toxic.
Are cheap no-name feeders the same thing?
Look for named tests, replaceable nipples, ice tray cubes that fit, and a real company. Moss and Fawn is based in Salt Lake City. The Forage Feeder is the silicone feeder paired with a custom ice tray with steel frame to prevent spilling liquid gold.
Does it come in different colors?
Yes. Foliage, Fern, Dew, Bloom, Terracotta, and Ecru.
Can daycare or grandparents use our feeder?
Yes if they allow a personal feeder and will follow your fill and clean steps. Send labeled cubes from the matching tray, an extra top, and written rules: fresh freeze only, no refreeze, hand-wash the base, stay with baby, no crib use.
Is this a good registry gift?
Yes! Most baby registry items are outgrown in a month. Moss & Fawn products cover two stages: frozen breast milk or formula pops for teething to soothe sore gums, then first foods in the same handle with three nipple sizes that grow with baby.
Plastic-free packaging since 2018. Tested to CPSIA and FDA standards and tested free of BPA, PVC, phthalates, and lead. Made by a woman-founded brand in Salt Lake City, not a no-name listing that disappears. That is why it belongs at the top of a baby shower registry instead of things they grow out of.
