BABY FEEDING SUPPLIES EVERY PARENTS SHOULD HAVE
Is your little one graduating from a liquids-only diet and ready to take on solid foods? It’s time to stock up on must-have baby feeding tools for meal time, along with some essential extras that every mom or dad needs. Don’t forget—baby will still be drinking milk for a while, so you’ll be continuing to use bottles and burp cloths, too!
Are You Still Nursing or Bottle Feeding?
Make sure to have these:
- Bibs & burp cloths. Look for adorable patterns, cute character designs and oh-so-fun prints in sets and multipacks.
- Bottles. Because you can never have too many!
- Feeding pillow. We love the ones from Boppy.
Is Baby Ready to Join the Dinner Table?
These are some mealtime must-haves:
- Forks & spoons. Look for baby cutlery and utensils in smaller sizes with soft edges that are safe for your little one to use.
- Bowls. Plastic versions are our favorites since they’re unbreakable. Also check out suction bowls, which attach to table surfaces to avoid getting tossed.
- Bibs. We’ve warned you: baby’s first experiences with finger foods will be messy! Stock up on waterproof designs with a catch pocket to help make cleanup easier.
- High chair. Adjustable settings, compact designs and convenient features to keep baby safe and secure during feeding time, and help mom and dad with cleanup and storage. Also invest in one that will grow with your little one from infant to toddler age.
Other Necessities You'll Need?
For breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack time:
- Soft-spout training cups & straw cups. These are a must for helping baby transition from bottles to cups while avoiding spills.
- Mealtime on-the-go sets. They come with all the essentials you need for mealtime anywhere: a bib, utensils, food containers and more.
- Booster seat. When your little one has outgrown a high chair, boosters are perfect to use with adult chairs so that baby can sit high enough to reach the table.
