Travel with Ecoware
We went on a short road trip last week and my daughter hates taking muskmelon as small pieces so while travelling in the car, I cut the muskmelon and made a puree in the Ecoware Bowl and fed my baby. Easy!!! If you want to use eco friendly disposable tableware during travel then Ecoware is a great choice.

Hi
Does musk melon and pumpkin cause cold in babies? My baby loves them both. How many times a week can I give her pumpkin and musk.
Thanks in advance
