Starting Solids Essentials We Still Use Daily (Baby to Toddler)
15
items You don’t need half the feeding gadgets marketed for 6 months. These are the versatile, indestructible solids essentials we bought for early purées and baby-led weaning that survived the transition and are still used at every single meal well into to...
My favorite thing about this highchair is that I can put the seat portion and the tray straight into the dishwasher or hose the whole thing off outside. The straps are silicone, the footrest goes down and up without a tool - it is a little tricky tho...
Mockingbird High Chair
These are our go-to pouch toppers. My son loves to squeeze the pouches, and these prevent the liquid from going all over the place. They fit almost all the pouches we have tried, except the Kirkland fruit pouches (not the applesauce ones).
SoftSip Food Pouch Silicone Tops - 4 CT | Swirl Colors
We were patiently waiting for Catchy to release one to fit the Mockingbird, and they finally did! It has been great! Before, the dog was getting all the scraps on the floor and was getting sick, and then it was too hot for her to go outside. It is ea...
The Food Catcher
After so many cups, we tried these, and he enjoys them. They match my cup, which has the soft straw. The weighted straw cups took too much work, I think. We now use the handle cups for milk and the non-handle ones for water.
Zak Designs Disney Winnie the Pooh Capri Toddler Tumbler For Travel or At Home, 10oz 2-Pack Durable Plastic Sippy Cups With Handle and Leak-Proof Design are Perfect For Kids (Pooh & Friends)
Best leakproof water bottle that isn’t weighted. We have so many of these; everything is interchangeable.
Zak Designs Disney Pixar Cars Kelso Toddler Tumblers For Travel or At Home, 15oz 2-Pack Durable Plastic Sippy Cups With Leak-Proof Design is Perfect For Kids (Lightning McQueen & Tow Mater)
Love how versatile these are, and they fit every pouch out there. This is the original creator of this item (from a small business)—there are so many knock-offs out there.
Flipping Holder for Pouches and Juice Boxes
Stainless steel Zak cups are perfect for those who want to limit plastic use. We use these in the car.
Zak Designs 12oz and 15oz 2-Pack Straw Tumbler Stainless Steel and Plastic with Additional Straw Leakproof and Perfect for Kids, Disney Mickey Mouse
Doubles as a teether. We still use these because they still work.
Munchkin® Gentle Scoop™ Silicone Training Spoons, Blue/Green, 2 Pack, Unisex
We loved this seat and relied on it often when we preferred not to eat at the dining room table. He outgrew it, which was disappointing.
Upseat Baby Floor and Booster Seat with Tray
Once my son outgrew the upseat, we chose this model. Because they use it at daycare, we knew he would fit.
Ingenuity Baby Base 2-in-1 Booster Feeding & Floor Seat: Removable Tray, Safety Belt, Solid Pattern, 33lb Capacity
Although the stainless steel cannot be used as a teething toy. My son doesn’t mind these.
Munchkin Raise Toddler Fork and Spoon Set - 2pk – Blue
I used this with breastmilk at first, but then I decided to put some frozen fruit in here when he is teething, and he loves it! Great on his gums, and it doesn’t get caught on anything.
Silicone Baby Fruit Food Feeder, Breastmilk Popsicle Molds, Silicone Teething Toys, Infant Self Feeding, BPA Free,Green
This stuff actually works! I was skeptical at first, but no more stains!
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Liquid Stain Treater - 12 fl oz Bottle
Our go-to bib! We probably have 20 of these. The best part is you can just throw it in the wash when it gets dirty.
Tiny Twinkle Mess-Proof and Waterproof Baby Bib/Apron, Machine Washable and BPA-Free (Dinosaur, Small 6-24 Months)
If you have a toddler like mine who doesn’t like to be strapped down to eat, these are a must-have.
