A lot of you have asked how we like our Boon Flair highchair, and we absolutely love it, but I'm going to save the full review for another post. This is going to focus on items we use for feeding.
I love these spoons because they turn white if food is too hot. Since I make all of Harper's purees, we freeze them and microwave to serve them. I always test on my wrist as well, but this is extra reassurance that the food is not too hot. If it is, I briefly stir in an ice cube and it very quickly cools from hot to warm.
These spoons are awesome and we use them daily. You can even see that the middle one is stained from carrots. They are soft yet firm enough to feed purees perfectly. The size is wonderful and Harper loves to chew on them and hold them. I also love the design. Not that it matters, but it doesn't hurt that they're the cutest baby spoons out there. I like that the tips are all silicone and not just silicone coated.
These containers are safe for the freezer and microwave and are BPA-free. We use them for Harper's solids at daycare. The lids snap on nice and tight and they come with a little tray to help organize them.
I'm obesessed with these bowls! They're also BPA-free and microwave-safe. I just pop some frozen puree into them and in less than a minute food is ready. They're easy to hold and just the right depth. Highly recommend them.
The Green Sprouts silicone bowl is a nice alternative to plastic (even though all of our stuff is BPA-free, some people still prefer to avoid plastic). It's on the smaller side but it's the perfect size for mashing foods like bananas and blueberries. The Boon bowl we started to use recently and it has a suction at the bottom so it sticks to her highchair tray---it's great now that Harper is learning to feed herself a little bit. I love the "catcher" feature too.
This is one we haven't used yet---but plan to when she can self-feed more effectively. I like that it is shallow and stays on the tray, making it easier for baby to self-feed.
These bibs are an absolute must-have for feeding solids. They are waterproof, are easily washed and have a little pocket that catches any food that falls. Need I say more? They are absolute perfection---and come in precious designs, to boot!
We are just now really starting to integrate sippy cups---we started by just giving her one to explore and play with. Then, we showed her that water comes out. She doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and I don't want to put breastmilk into a sippy yet. I'm going to ask our pediatrician at our 9 month appointment if we should offer water, transition to breastmilk in a sippy�etc. I like that these have the silicone vs. hard nipples. I have also heard some babies prefer straw sippy cups so if you have any you love, please let me know in the comments.
I hope this post was helpful for any soon-to-be moms wondering what to register for or mammas about to start their babies on solids. Thanks for reading!
