Baby-specific pots and pans are sold. Do I really need separate cooking equipment for solids?

A separate pot and pan set for baby isn't technically required - you can use clean stainless steel or teflon cookware from your kitchen for baby too. But practically, two things are worth noting:
First, if non-stick (teflon) cookware has scratches or you cook at high heat, chemical transfer risk exists. A small separate steel pot for baby, especially with frequent use, is a safe investment.
Second, baby portions are tiny, so cooking small amounts in a large pot is awkward; a small pot gives better control and less dishwashing.
So: not required, but if you get one, choose solid stainless steel and avoid expensive "baby sets" - a basic 10-12 dollar small steel pot does the same job.
