The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Steamer machines can be a practical helper during weaning, but they're not essential.

These machines steam vegetables and fruits and usually puree them in the same unit. The advantage: one device, fewer dishes, steaming better preserves nutrients. The disadvantage: expensive, used for only a few months, and bacteria can grow if not cleaned properly.

Wide pediatric consensus: steaming is beneficial for babies, but a special machine isn't required — you can achieve the same result with a regular pot with a steamer basket and a lid. After the weaning phase passes, the machine sits unused; a good blender or mashing with a fork is sufficient.

Bottom line: if your budget allows and you have kitchen space, it's convenient — but don't feel you "must" buy one. The steaming method matters; the tool doesn't.
