WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED TO START ON SOLIDS?

Starting solids is exciting, and having the right equipment can make the process smoother. Here’s a basic list of what you’ll need to get started:

1. High Chair – A safe, sturdy high chair with good back support and a secure harness is essential. Make sure it allows your baby to sit upright and comfortably during meals.
2. Plates & Bowls – Choose lightweight, eco-friendly, easy-to-clean, BPA-free plates/bowls.
3. Spoons – Soft-tipped spoons are perfect for spoon-feeding early on.
4. Bib – A waterproof, reusable bib with a pocket will help catch food and reduce messes.
5. Smock – Game changer for keeping clean!
6. Cups – open and straw
7. Food Storage – Small airtight containers (preferably glass or silicone) are helpful for storing purees or leftover food.
