Which spoon should baby use first? Essential feeding equipment
⚡ Short answer: The real list is short: silicone spoon, small bowl, silicone bib, and floor mat—highchair helps but isn't required; the rest is marketing.

We're starting solids. Silicone or stainless spoon, is a highchair required—what equipment do we really need?

Starting solids is exciting and a bit confusing, totally understand. The things you actually need aren't as long a list as it might seem:
1. Silicone spoon—doesn't harm baby's gums, safe and healthy. That's enough, no steel needed.
2. Small, shallow bowl (ideally with suction cup base).
3. Chair: Not required but very helpful. Without a highchair, you can feed baby in your lap in an upright position—chair just makes keeping baby upright easier, not a must.
4. Bib (silicone with pocket ones work best).
One extra thing that saves the day: a mat or newspaper to put under the eating area. In the beginning, your patience matters more than extra equipment. Anything else you're wondering about?
