A few basic tools will make complementary feeding easier:
- Cup or spoon instead of bottle: From 6. month onward, offering water or food in a cup or spoon prevents bottle dependency.
- Silicone spoon: Won't damage gums and is ideal for first spoon trials.
- Suction-cup bowl (or deep dish): Safe to eat from without spilling.
- Divided plate: Keeps different foods separate and encourages exploration.
- Bib with mouth guard (with pockets): Catches spills and saves cleanup.
- Freezer molds for soups/smoothies: Handy for cold snacks in summer.
- Reversible high chair cushion: Easy to clean and comfortable to sit on.
Beyond these, a blender, grater, and steamer also work well. When deciding what to buy, base your choice on your baby's age, hand-eye coordination, and your own kitchen habits.
