Hello, I'm answering this question as a general guide for our community archive.
Here are the basic supplies you'll want to have when starting complementary foods:
Feeding tools:
- A soft-tipped silicone or rubber spoon (metal spoons can feel hard on gums)
- A divided plate or bowl
- A secure, absorbent-bottomed feeding bib
- A small, shallow bowl for first attempts
Preparation tools:
- A steamer or small pot (for cooking vegetables)
- A hand blender or fork (for purees; a blender works well at first, later a fork is enough)
- Small storage containers or ice cube trays (to portion and freeze leftovers; prep once and freeze)
Safety and convenience:
- A non-slip high chair for your baby
- BPA-free silicone or glass storage containers
- A soft, washable bib
- A cup without a valve or spout for water (from 6. month onward)
Extra tip: Starting with one fruit or vegetable helps you figure out which food caused a reaction if needed. Don't forget to label frozen purees. Keep your baby upright during and after meals to reduce choking risk.
Every baby is different; starting when your doctor recommends is best.
