We thankfully have not had to use this, but the peace of mind it brings is worth every penny. Of course, it is SO important as parents that you know how to handle choking without a device. Having this in the cabinet at all times certainly helped us i...

We didn't get much use out of these in the early days, but boy were they nice once my son got the hang of them. I make small fruit popsicles with them and they're the perfect size for him.

The Nutribullet Steamer is SO versitale! We used it in the very early days to make some purees (before my hubby was confident enough to do BLW). We then graduated to steaming veggies. Bonus points: It can sterilize pacifiers!

We LOVED the solid starts app. Having a database at your fingertips of how to serve any food at any stage was so helpful. I truly think it is what helped us reach 100 foods before 1! We loved so many of the recipes and continue to serve them to my so...

IKEA High Chair: A silicone harness was a LIFESAVER. After about a week of BLW and struggling to clean the original high chair straps, I stress ordered this. Best. Decision. Ever. I love that they can be wiped clean or thrown in the dishwasher. It's ...

If you have an IKEA highchair, it's so important to add a footrest for the optimal 90-90-90 positioning! This one is so easy to install and I love that it's adjustable.
