All of the vessels to feed the baby
From the moment you start to give the first play food to your baby, he and you will enjoy the advantages of practical products for feeding children.
For starters, you want a strong, stable and comfortable seat, a comfortable height for you, where you can sit him. At first you'll use your bouncer, or even your car seat. But once able to sit up, ideally a baby seat at the table. So your baby can participate in family meals and you can feed while you feed him. We also will be easier to clean when you finish eating your little (and throwing food on the floor).
In addition to the chair, learn about the different products and tools that are on the market, as covered for babies, bibs, mats, bowls and cups, mills for preparing baby food, heaters and thermal bags. The ideas then we will help.
What to look for when buying
Spoons: you can use a teaspoon of tea or coffee to feed your baby, but a spoon coated plastic is best for their delicate gums. They may also find helpful the spoons that change color indicating if the food is too hot for the baby. Disposable plastic spoons, free of polyvinyl chloride (material commonly known as PVC), are practical when you're walking and you do not want to lose (or having to save) baby spoon.
In the market we also covered with ergonomic design, but these will not be interested until later because they are actually made for older babies who feed themselves.
Bibs easy to put on, remove and wash: maybe you're about to fall into the temptation to buy a pair of those cute bibs design with matching baby outfit. We recommend, however, opt for practical solutions although not fashionable. Ideally: Large, washable, stain resistant and easy to put on and take Bibs (choose those that are closed with Velcro or poppers instead of ribbons or tapes).
For meals at home, these bibs plastic pockets that trap so you drop the baby are very practical. They can be cleaned or washed after every meal and are resistant to stains. If you do not mind having more clothes to wash, large terry cloth bibs or towel are a good choice. And do not forget to always bring one in the diaper, but also the napkins or wipes work wonders.
Rugs: the rugs splash proof is kind of laminated mats that are placed under the seat where the baby eats, to protect the floor or carpet from food stains and juice. They are sold in various colors and patterns, and are ideal for ground cover beneath the baby seat size.
If you prefer a cheaper alternative, you can perfectly use a sheet or large towel tablecloth. Or if you want something less flashy, cut a shower curtain or vinyl mat width (available at hardware stores).
You may also have to hand mats of fabric or plastic to cover the table of your child's chair, a picnic table, or wherever you need a clean surface to feed. There are even some that are disposable (which also will serve to diaper changes away from home).
Plastic plates or bowls: when you’re little start eating alone, need your own plate or plastic bowl (so you will not break when you throw against the wall of the kitchen). The ideal dish is one easy to hold, with a lid so you can keep and carry the baby food, and you can put the microwave (to heat leftovers).
Some parents love the dishes that can be clipped to the baby seat with suction cups, while others think it not worth it because soon cease to be useful. You find cutlery sets and children's dishes in fun colors and shapes.
Children Cups: When your baby is ready to start drinking from a cup (usually between 6 months and 1 year old), the spill-proof cups with lids or nozzle will be very useful. Most have an internal valve that prevents the escape of liquid, even when the baby turns or pulls the cup.
Unfortunately, this valve can be so effective that sometimes the baby has a hard time getting the liquid. Many parents have to try several different types of baby cups until you find one you like. Maybe you can help change from bottle to cup if you buy one with a soft nozzle as bottle nipples.
Mills and baby food processing: compact no manual grinders that can be loaded in the baby bag and come with a handy carrying case. Wherever you go, you can instantly prepare little meals for your baby with just remove the rotating part of metal, fill it with a little food, cover again and turn the crank. With a few laps ready baby food.
If you plan to prepare food yourself your son, it may be convenient to invest in an electric food processor that allows you to puree the touch of a button. An innovative product is a kind of mesh bag that works like a sieve. Open it, you put the food inside, and shut. The baby is biting the bag and goes sneaking tiny bits of food through the mesh, preventing choking with large pieces, shells or seeds. This bag has a slightly larger handle so that the baby can easily hold.
Food warmers: These practical electrical appliances used to heat bottles and jars of baby food quickly and without being too hot. They have a thermostat that controls the temperature, and are small enough to bring on a trip. You can also purchase thermal bags or boxes made especially to keep refrigerated baby food while traveling.
How much will it cost?
Most commodities (bibs, plates, spoons, bowls, and cups) are fairly inexpensive (if you live in America, you will find them from $ 1 to $ 10). Some products, including electric heaters, windmills and cups to test more elaborate strokes, are more expensive (about $ 20).
