The Best Baby Weaning Products
Beaba Babycook Duo
Have fun with natural organic foods for your baby even in the early stages, everything your baby eats contributes to their health and wellbeing. I highly recommend good nutrition from the first spoonful of food your baby tastes.
The Beaba Babycook Duo Steamer and Blender will make your life a breeze when weaning your baby. It is an all-in-one Steamer, Cooker, Blender and Defroster. Saving you time and space in your kitchen!
When first weaning your baby it’s all about trying foods and getting a taste for them, getting used to solids and swallowing food rather than milk. It’s not about eating specific amounts of food as your baby will still need milk for 100% of their nutrition in the early days of weaning.
I love the Annabel Karmel Food Masher and Bowl
The bowl has inner ridges to help make mashing ever so quick and easy and the handle grip prevents slipping, as does the non-slip base on the bowl.
The Annabel Karmel Food Masher and Bowl is really convenient when you’re on the go or travelling, just pop in the soft fruit (some great fruits to try are banana, avocado, pear and peach) and cooked veg (you can try carrots, sweet potato, parsnip and swede) and you’ll have tasty and nutritious food for your baby in seconds.
Annabel Karmel’s New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner
which is a very handy book providing advice on what, when and how to wean, as well as including meal planners for the different stages of progression onto solids.
I frequently refer to Annabel Karmel’s New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner which is bright and colourful with over 200 varied and easy recipes for purees and baby meals.
These recipes help to ensure your baby is getting the right combination of nutrients, proteins, carbs and fats. This book has certainly helped to make my life as a Mummy easier!
And when weaning you will certainly need some good bibs for your baby so we’ve selected the best baby bibs – these are truly brilliant!
