Introducing your baby to solids through baby-led weaning is an exciting milestone! With baby-led weaning (BLW), little ones explore food independently, develop hand-eye coordination, and experiment with different tastes and textures. To make this process easier (and less messy!), having the right tools is key.
Here are 5 must-have items to support your baby on their BLW journey – including our adorable bamboo baby plate and bowl that parents are raving about!
1. Bamboo Baby Plate with Suction Base
The perfect plate is essential for BLW. Our bamboo baby plate features a sturdy suction base that sticks to the table or high chair tray – meaning no more flying plates!
🌟 Why you’ll love it:
• Made from eco-friendly, sustainable bamboo.
• Suction base keeps the plate secure, helping reduce mess.
• Three divided sections for serving a variety of foods.
💡 Tip: Use the sections to offer fruits, veggies, and protein-rich foods to give your baby options during each meal.
2. Soft Silicone Bib with Food Catcher
Mealtime = mess time, especially during baby-led weaning! A silicone bib with a wide food catcher will save you countless outfit changes and cleanups.
🌟 Why you’ll love it:
• Waterproof, stain-resistant, and easy to wipe clean.
• Catches dropped food, so it’s reusable for your little one.
• Adjustable neck closure ensures a snug and comfy fit.
💡 Parent Hack: Keep one bib in the diaper bag for dining out to make BLW messes manageable wherever you are.
3. Bamboo Baby Bowl with Spoon
Our bamboo baby bowl is a must-have for serving oatmeal, yogurt, or thick purees during baby-led weaning. Designed with safety and practicality in mind, it comes with a suction base to minimize spills and a soft-tipped spoon that’s gentle on your baby’s gums.
🌟 Why you’ll love it:
• Natural, non-toxic bamboo material.
• Comes with a spoon that’s easy for tiny hands to hold.
• Suction base keeps the bowl from tipping over.
💡 Fun Idea: Let your baby practice “scooping” with the spoon. It’s all part of the learning process!
4. Easy-to-Hold Training Cups
Sippy cups can help babies transition from bottles, but BLW also encourages open cups or straw cups to improve motor skills. Choose a training cup that’s spill-proof and the right size for tiny hands.
🌟 Why you’ll love it:
• Helps babies develop oral motor strength.
• Made from BPA-free materials and easy to clean.
• Encourages independence during mealtime.
5. Baby-Led Weaning High Chair
A sturdy, easy-to-clean high chair is non-negotiable. For BLW, look for a high chair with:
• A secure, supportive seat.
• A footrest for better stability.
• Removable, dishwasher-safe trays.
🌟 Why you’ll love it:
• Keeps baby seated safely during mealtime exploration.
• Easy to clean (because food gets everywhere).
💡 Pro Tip: Place a splash mat under the chair to simplify cleanup even more!
💡 Try This: Offer water in the cup while baby eats to encourage self-hydration.
