We’ve been at this solids thing for about 2 months now, so I feel like I can officially have favorites. Laikyn for sure has her favorites too! It’s so funny how she has preferences over others….and really is showing what she likes and doesn’t like now. I’m also going to be doing this post in parts, because many of you have asked what I feed her, our feeding schedule, etc. So, I want to include all of that for you. Here are the things that we really love for eating time around here (and I’ll tell you…Little Piggy LOVES eating time).
1. Beaba Baby Cook – I knew with LC’s allergies, that it would most likely be best for me to make her food. I wanted to know exactly what went into it and who was handling it. I have had such a fun time coming up with combinations for her to eat, and watching her love all of them. It’s SO much cheaper than buying baby food, and I think tastes better. By all means, it’s just fine if you feed packaged food (because I do often when we are on-the-go) but this is the perfect baby food maker for those who want to make their little one’s purees. We also do Baby Led Weaning…but more on that later.
2. Baby Mum-Mum – aka Laikyn’s favorite food. These are great for teaching self-feeding. She gets so excited when she sees these in the package!
3. Lil Crunchies – aka Laikyn’s favorite food.
4. Beaba First Stage Soft Spoons – These are my favorites. I have 3 different kinds and always choose these over the others. I like the way they hold the puree and I also like the way they wash. They’re great quality.
5. Joovy Dood Sippy Cup – We found this at Buy Buy Baby and it has been one of her favorites. It doesn’t leak and it’s easy to put together. I don’t know how many I’ve thrown away because she hates them or I can’t figure the dang things out. Mom problems.
She doesn’t really love sippy cups and prefers ones with straws, but she will take this one. This is her favorite straw cup, which is what we usually give her, but it leaks so it’s not my favorite.
6. Beaba Freezer Tray – These are great for freezing baby food in portions. I just freeze and then pop them out and store them in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Super easy!
7. Burts Bees Bibs – These super soft and comfy bibs have been our favorites. They just slip over the head like a onesie and feel great. She doesn’t tug at them like she does most bibs, and they’re super easy to just throw in the washing machine to clean. And, they were on Oprah’s favorites…so it’s a given that they’re great.
8. Infantino Squeeze Station & Pouches – Coolest invention ever. You know those squeeze pouches of baby food? Well, this allows you to make your own baby food and put it in the pouches. I have several types of foods in these on hand to grab when we go somewhere so she can just suck it out of the pouch. The squeeze bags are not reusable, but you can find some that are. I just didn’t want to mess with cleaning them so I just throw them away and grab another from the freezer when we go somewhere.
9. Boon Flair High Chair – We absolutely can’t say enough good things about this high chair. It’s SUPER easy to clean, disinfect every day and roll around. You can change the height, roll it, lock it, etc. Boon, you’ve impressed me once again.
What are your favorites for feeding the little one? I would love to know something new! I’ll also be posting our eating schedule, what LC eats, and eating on-the-go….anything else you guys want to know?
