How to keep food warm?

[cchavez]

Diego is finally starting to eat more table food but the minute it gets cold he doesn't want it anymore.....is there anything I can use to keep his food warm????

Hi Christine,
Can you give him a few tablespoons at a time in a bowl and keep the rest of it in a hot-case (insulated case thingies) ? When he is done with what is in the bowl then you can give him more? I sometimes make Leela's lunch and keep it in the hot-case if we have to run an errand.. when i come back it is just as hot.. no need to reheat and such.

I have the baby food warmer from my babyhood. It's very scary and my mom is offended that we don't use it. ;) If you do a search on ebay for "baby food warmer" there are lots of vintage items--most are sectioned plates with a compartment underneath for hot water. My old one plugs in to keep the water warm. Also, you can use a bottle warmer to keep the food warm--you'd just have to serve it out of a bottle-shaped thing.

Hee-hee, Anna. I had to read your post a few times before I realized "my babyhood" was not a baby products website like babystyle. Duh!

Umm.. it is an insulated case.. if you have an indian store nearby.. you can go check them out there.. relatively cheap.
A tortilla warmer might even work!
