Lena Loves: Weaning Essentials

Having spent quite a bit of cash on various weaning tools below are my top picks for anyone starting out. My most important point to highlight is that as a newly weaning parent you may become slightly obsessed with spoons...... what spoon is best became almost like a mission for me, and in the end (although fussy to start) she will take any spoon. So try not to become a spoon obsessed researcher like me.

1. MAM weaning spoons to start as these are great for mini mouths, then Vital soft tipped spoons  as these are gentle on teething gums.

2. Beaba freezing trays - Lena soon grew out of the ice cube phase and went straight for large portions

3. Tommee Tippee bowls

4. Tommee Tippee storage pots - great for her lunches or popping in the freezer.

5. Tommee Tippee mat - the only thing that will keep a high chair toy attached to the tray!

6. Doidy cup for mealtimes - oddly Lena prefers her Doidy to a sippy cup. I think it's the joy of being able to blow bubbles that gets her excited when she sees it coming. 

7. Tommee Tippee sippy cup for out and about and various points during the day

8. Ready made food pouches for when you're on the go - Lena seems to hate the Hipp jars but loved Ella's kitchen.

                         

9. Bibetta neoprene bib - great for when you're teaching her to sip from an open cup like a Doidy.
