I hope you all enjoyed the first installment of the series! For today's post, I am going to discuss some feeding essentials for a new baby. Just to let you know, I did not include my nursing favorites in this section. I am going to devote an entire post to nursing favorites at a later date. I will also do a post on toddler feeding favorites once I get a list going - Chase is still new to eating solid table foods so we are still experimenting with products now.
1. Spoons: Munchkin Soft-Tip Infant Spoons - We have gone through several different types and brands of spoons but these are by far my favorites. They are sturdy, soft enough to not bother teething gums, dishwasher safe, and very inexpensive. We also really like these spoons by Munchkin (they tell you if the food is too hot) and Chase really loved these by Beaba when he first started eating solids (they are super soft and are great for teething gums).
2. Boon Lawn Drying Rack - This seems to be an essential item on any registry I've come across! It is wonderful for all of the little bottle parts, pump parts, sippy cups... you name it! It fits all shapes and sizes! It also comes with an array of different attachments (we have this one) for extra space and is easy to clean as it's only two pieces! I was originally going to return the lawn, which is the largest size, for the grass but I'm so glad I didn't! It's amazing how much this holds and it doesn't take up as much space as I thought it would (which was my reason for wanting a smaller one). This is a must!!
3. High Chair: Peg Perego Siesta - This is one of the pricier high chair options but it's an example of you get what you pay for. This is also a wonderful investment piece for babies because your child can use it from birth throughout toddlerhood. It has 9 different height positions and 5 recline positions. It also has a 5 point safety strap and lock buttons for the wheels. There is a double tray that stacks on top of each other and each piece is dishwasher safe. It's easy to clean and my favorite feature is that it is one of the slimmest folding chairs on the market! I love this chair and highly recommend it! Well worth the money!
4. Bottle Set: Philips Avent Infant Starter Set - This is a great set to register for because you get a little bit of everything - 5 bottles of various sizes, a soothie pacifier, a dispenser, and a bottle brush. This is also a great set for both breast and formula fed babies - my son has been exclusively breast fed and loves these bottles and I also have a niece and a nephew who were both formula fed babies and they used them as well. For a breastfed baby these are great because they have a breast shaped nipple which helps to prevent nipple confusion. We also have these bottles and love them too!
5. Bibs - The amount of different bibs on the market is amazing! There are so many different fabrics, styles, and brands out there. For infants, I love these by Frenchie and these by Tommee Tippee because they have a neckline that prevents leaks. We have both and love them!
So these are a few of my essential feeding items for little ones. Like the items in the previous post, we own all of these, love them, and use them on the daily for Chase. I hope you find this information helpful! Next up is playtime!
