  1. Born To Eat
  2. Baby Led Weaning: These two books were what sparked my interest and ultimately decision to do BLW. The first one is written by two fellow dietitians, and I especially love how it’s broken down into different months/stages with tips/tricks specific to each. It also provides sample menu ideas as well as important nutrients to consider at various stages of development.
  1. Ingenuity: This is the chair that we used in the beginning. You can place it on the floor or tie to a chair. It is super lightweight so it’s great for traveling, and I love that the tray stores under the chair nicely. At first, I just placed a couple of strips of food on the tray at a time. Worked great!
  2. Stokke Tripp Trapp: Then as he grew older and started eating more, we upgraded to this one. I LOVE that you can pull the chair right up to the table so the baby truly joins us at mealtimes. It’s a bit on the pricier side but it’s well worth the investment because it will grow with the baby!
  3. Water Wipes: I LOVE these wipes so so much! I simply wipe his hands before and after each meal. it’s fragrance and alcohol free and contains 99% water and a drop of fruit extract. Nice to take with us when we’re out and about too.
  4. Bumkins: Smocks/bibs are a must! And the ones from bumpkins is what we’ve been using as well as the ones from IKEA. Buy several so you don’t have to wash them after each use.
  5. ezpz mat: These suction mats are da bomb!! We’ve also started using this silicone grip dish, and love it so far as well!
  6. Num Num: These “gootensils” are perfect for little hands. The handles are short and sturdy. With their flat heads, there’s no need for scooping or balancing.
  7. Munchkin weighted straw cup: I really didn’t want to use the sippy cup, and the baby took to these straw cups pretty quickly! The straw is weighted so there’s no need for tilting it back. The baby can drink at any angle
  8. BabyBliss freezer storage tray: When I make sauces, pesto, dips, etc, I like to store them in single serving portions, and this tray is perfect for that! Once frozen solid, I just pop them right out and store in a freezer safe bag.
  9. Crinkle cutter: Very handy for making slippery foods easier to hold for the baby
  10. Manual food chopper: I like to prep a lot while the baby is napping and this manual chopper is so awesome!! It’s super quiet, lightweight, and powerful. I like that I can easily take it with me anywhere.
  11. Silicone mini muffin pan: I’ve been making so many muffins and other finger foods for the baby, and I absolutely love this silicone mini muffin tray! Silicone really is the way to go!
