Starting Baby on Solids Checklist

by BabyZone Editors

Essentials

 
High Chair You’ll need to find a good high chair for your toddler to sit in while eating.

 
 
 
Sippy Cups
(3-5)
Your burgeoning foodie will need a more advanced way to drink her milk.


 
 
 
Toddler Plate,
Cup, and Bowl
When your baby is ready to start wielding spoon and fork on her own, she’ll need something to eat those new foods from.

 
 
 
Toddler Fork and Spoon Learning finger dexterity is an exciting time for babies. Eating with cutlery is yet another step away toward toddlerhood!


 
 

Recommended

 
Placemats
and Drop Cloths
While your baby is learning to eat, she’s also learning about ... gravity. Investing in placemats and drop cloths can save you time cleaning after meals.

 
 
 
Bibs (3-5) Babies are notoriously messy eaters! Stock up on bibs to keep clothes from getting soiled.


 
 

Niceties

 
Snack-Trap Cups Great for on-the-go eating, these snack cups let your baby's little fingers in to reach food without letting the Cheerios spill out!

 
 
 
Transitional Spouts Too old for a bottle, too young for a sippy cup? Try these handy in-between attachments (some fit right on your bottles).


 
 
 
Blender
or Food Processor
Feeling ambitious? You can make your own baby food right at home with leftover fruits and vegetables.

 
 
 
Freezer Bags
and Storage Containers
When making your own baby food, use these for storage.
