11 Best Products for Feeding your Baby Solids
From all the best spoons, bibs, high-chairs, bowls, and more!
It’s such an exciting time when your baby turns 6 months and you get to start introducing solid foods to your baby.
There are tons of baby feeding items to pick from. To make this baby-led transition easier and smoother you’ll need items that make everything simpler and products that are the best. I rounded up my top favorite must-have baby feeding items and accessories that worked great for my new little girl, Liv.
Check out these great baby feeding items! I’ve also included my favorite products to make homemade baby food. Hope this list helps make this new transition stage easier and exciting for you.
1. Ikea High Chair + Mango Co. Ikea High Chair Footrest
This Ikea’s high chair is the absolute best! Everything is made with hard plastic making it incredibly easy to wipe down and clean. The chair is quick to set up or takedown. Most high chairs are really pricey. I loved that this one cost less than $20 dollars but still is an amazing highchair that is functional and modern. If you don’t have an Ikea near you, you can buy this Ikea chair on amazon but it’s more expensive.
The only cons about this chair is it doesn’t come with a footrest. Footrests are so important for babies so they are comfortable and are able to concentrate on eating. So if you buy this chair, I recommend buying this footrest that perfectly goes on the Ikea high chair and you can adjust it for your baby’s height.
This is by far the best portable high chair. It easy to set up and works great on almost all tables. It secure and babies love sitting in it. It has rubber arms to grip the table but not scratch it. It folds flat which makes it easy to travel or store. The seat cover is removable so it’s easy to clean. I love to bring this chair when I visit friends and family or go on a vacation.
I love these silicone bibs. It makes feeding your baby so much easier. First, the bottom open pouch catches food and saves your baby clothes from getting stains or drips.
Second the silicone bib material is easy to clean. You can either wipe it, wash it with soap and water, or put it in the dishwasher. Also, this bib is BPA and phthalates-free. It’s hands down the best baby bib.
4. NatureBond Baby Food Feeder/Fruit Feeder
I love these Baby Food Feeder, it makes starting solids so less stressful since they are designed to only let small juice/pieces out so your baby doesn’t get a large chunk of food and chocking (honestly, this is my biggest mom fear with feeding little ones).
You can put avocado, banana, strawberries, blueberries, green beans, or anything else in this feeder. It’s perfect to let your baby start to taste new foods and practice gnawing on food.
5. Color Changing Baby Spoons
These color-changing baby spoons are a life savor. The spoon will turn white if the baby’s food is too hot, helping you know if you need to wait for the food to cool down before feeding it to your baby. The spoon has a soft tip for baby’s mouths. They are BPA and phthalate-free. They can be washed in the dishwasher.
These Munchkin White Hot Safety Spoons are also a great option and will also turn white if the baby’s food is too hot. This spoon is made with soft materials for baby’s mouths. They are BPA and phthalate-free. They can be washed in the dishwasher.
6. Mama Bear Weighted Straw Sippy Cups
These Sippy Cups are so great. They are perfect to help transition 6+ month babies from drinking from a bottle to a cup. They have a flexible weighted straw at the bottom, so no matter how your baby tilts the bottle they will still be able to get liquid out. The cup also has a spill-proof spout, removable handles, attached lid, dishwasher safe, and is BPA free.
7. Silicone Baby Food Freezer Storage Trays
These freezer storage trays are the best if you are planning on homemaking your own baby puree food. I always make a large batch of homemade baby food, and I pour the baby puree into this storage tray, freeze it, and easily pop them out and add to a gallon zip lock bag.
8. Wee Sprout Glass Baby Food Storage Containers
These baby glass jars are so worth it! Cost around $30 dollars and comes with 12 jars with lids plus a dry eraser marker to label. Its better for your health to heat up food in glass rather than plastic. They are 100% BPA, Phthalate, PVC free. They are dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe. Air tight screw lids that keep food fresh.
9. Refillable Baby Food Pouches
These Reusable Baby Food Pouches are great to get if you like to make homemade baby food or if you are on the go and want an easy mess-free snack. I love these pouches because they are easy for kids to squeeze. They are reusable and eco-friendly, plus they are BPA, PVC, and Phthalate-free plastic.
I love making a big batch of puree baby food, filling them up each pouch up, and then and putting them in the freezer to use later. Whenever you need one for your baby just defrost them in warm water and feed them to your baby. It’s so simple. I also love making a healthy green smoothie or fruit smoothie and pouring some into these pouches for my baby to enjoy!
10. Baby Plates with Silicone Suction
This Avanchy Bamboo Baby Plate is perfect for a 9+ month and older child. Having a suction bottom makes it so there is no food flying when a baby throws their plate. Also keeps the plate from tipping over. This bamboo plate is plastic-free, BPA-free, PVC-free, Lead-free, and Phthalate-free. It also comes with a baby spoon that is great for self-feeding babies and has a nice soft tip for babies teeth and gums.
These Suction Plates with Lids are also are great baby plate option. They come with three plates that have lids and suction to a table or high chair. The lids make it so conveinted to store leftovers and be able to serve it to your baby or toddler when they are hungry again. These plates are also 100%
11. Reusable Storage Bags (BPA Free)
I love these reusable ziplock bags. They are eco-friendly and saves you money. I love storing my pre-frozen homemade baby food cubes in these. To keep everything organized I label the bag with the name and date by writing on scotch tape.
Another reason I love these bags, is they work great to add snacks in like crackers, sliced peaches, blueberries, and more for my baby to eat on the go. I love how easy they are to clean.
