A lot of parents ask us for recommendations on baby-friendly products that can be used during weaning. Before we get into that, remember these 3 things!
1) Babies outgrow things very quickly, so take a call depending on what’s most comfortable and affordable for you.
2) If you and your baby can manage with what you have at home (or hand-me-downs), there’s nothing like it!
3) The most valuable thing you can offer your baby is your loving presence and attention. It’s tough to be fully present when you have responsibilities, but when you are keenly interested in your baby’s mealtime, they sense your love and will have a positive weaning experience!
That said, let’s see what are some of the items you can choose to keep in your weaning tool kit. This can differ from parent to parent, so see what works for you, your lifestyle, your budget, and your needs!
A good high chair or booster seat is a very good investment before your baby starts solids. And it is necessary no matter which weaning approach you choose. High chairs allow babies to sit in one place in a steady, upright position. As mentioned earlier, babies should not be fed when they’re moving about or lying down, as that can result in choking.
A good sitting position is important before your baby begins their meal. Use the “90 90 90” rule as described below.
When babies are sitting in their high chair,
And, their feet should be on a footrest or on the floor straight down, not dangling in the air.

Using an open or straw cup will help babies learn and master a skill that they will need for life (as they move to drinking from regular cups or glasses as they grow up).

What material cup should you buy?
Consider using under the table mats when your baby starts weaning. This is because meal times will be messy and placing a mat will help you clean up faster afterward.
So what can you use as a mat?
Place this mat under and around the high chair or feeding area, so that you can clean the spills and mess more easily after.
The size of your baby’s spoon should be small enough to fit into their mouth. Use a spoon that’s made with safe materials (BPA free), is soft, has a good grip handle, and is not sharp (avoid stainless steel spoons).
The main reason parents use bibs is to protect the baby’s clothes. Having said that, you can avoid a bib by dressing your baby in old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty or opt for no clothes (your baby will be a happy camper!). Many babies also hate bibs and may try to remove them!
