I am due to start weaning my son very soon and I was just wondering what people would say are the "essential" items to have? At the moment I have nothing and I also don't have a massive amount of money to be buying expensive "do it all" machines. So If anyone could advise on essential items that would be helpful then I would be much appreciative!
Thank you xx
You definitely don’t need any machines etc. Also depends whether you are doing puree or baby led. I started with puree and one weekend just bought a load of veg and cooked and blended it up. I then put them in ice cube trays and put in the freezer and then when frozen into freezer bags. When the time came I would defrost what I needed as they only need one or two ice cubes at a time and went from there. So only thing I really needed was the blender and that was only £5 from Argos x
I agree with above reply. You don’t need fancy machines a cheap blender will do the job! I started with baby rice , blended & sieved fruit purées, yogurt. Gradually I introduced her into “solid”foods to try. Now she’s 7 & half months I basically give her what we have ( except for spicy food!) We are also introducing finger foods. You will know what is right for your son all the best with it xxx
P.s The only essential items needed - highchair, bibs (with plastic backing), baby spoon & bowl, cheap blender & sieve. xxx
