I have made so many delicious meals with this book that my baby, my husband and I all eat together. Who wants to make two different dinners every night?!

How to Wean Your Baby: Step-by-Step Plan

Baby Einstein Sticky Spinner High Chair Toy
I like to mix it up between this toy and the baby Einstein spinning toy (also on this list) to avoid my baby getting bored. Another highchair toy with great suction and especially good as a teething toy. Also works as a great bath toy!

Bamboo Baby Suction Plate - Elephant
My baby loves feeding himself with one of these, and it’s so easy for him to grasp! Dishwasher safe and the dipper end doubles up as a great teething toy.
Multi-stage baby spoon and dipper - Dippit™ (two-pack)
