5 Must-Haves for Starting Weaning (That Actually Work)
1. 💛 A Suction Bowl That Actually Sticks
Forget bowls flying across the kitchen floor—look for a good-quality suction bowl that stays put during mealtimes. Our Rainbow Divider Plate with Lid & Cutlery has strong suction and compartments to keep foods separate (ideal for picky eaters in training!).
✔️ Less mess
✔️ Baby can explore independently
✔️ Parents stay (mostly) san
2. 🥤 A Soft Silicone Cup for First Sips
Water with meals? Yes! Learning to sip is a big milestone. A mini silicone tumbler is perfect for tiny hands and safe for new gums. It’s a great way to build independent drinking skills from 6 months and beyond.
Try our Mini Tumblers – available in dreamy colours to match your feeding sets.
3. 🧃 Snack Cups for On-the-Go Munching
Once snacking starts, you’ll want a collapsible snack cup in your bag at all times. Think buggy walks, car rides, or just avoiding a crushed rice cake situation at the bottom of your handbag.
Our Snack Cups keep snacks in place and are super easy for babies to grab.
4. 🍽️ Travel Bowl with Spoon & Lid
Whether you’re heading to Grandma’s or out for brunch, a travel bowl is a lifesaver. With a matching spoon and lid, you can store leftovers, serve purées, or carry porridge without the spills.
Our Travel Bowl Sets are compact, leak-resistant, and come in soft, neutral tones.
5. 🧼 Easy-Clean Bibs (Because You'll Need A Lot)
Weaning is messy—and that’s okay! But a wipeable, waterproof bib can help contain the chaos. Look for deep food-catching pockets and adjustable straps that actually stay on. Bonus if they’re cute enough for photo ops.
💫 Final Thoughts from One Mum to Another…
You don’t need to buy everything under the sun. But having a few thoughtfully chosen, baby-safe essentials can make weaning smoother and a lot more fun—for both of you.
And remember: it’s okay if your baby throws food, refuses veg, or just licks the spoon. You’ve got this 💛
