LO will be 6mths next month and I have no clue what/how many bowls, cups, spoons etc. we need to begin solids. I'm going to a nearly new sale tomorrow morning and hope to pick up as much as I can super cheap.
So what do I need?
-
We didn't have too much!
4 bowls
3 spoons
1 sippy cup
2 bibsAre you planning to make your own baby food?
-
@sunny: thank you. We're planning to start with ready made puree pouches. I guess eventually once we get the hang of it, we'll start mashing up some of our food.
-
Depends how much you like doing dishes! Lol
We have 6 bowls, two regular cups, two straw cups, about a dozen spoons, too many bibs to count. Oh! And washcloths! -
We have 4 long sleeved bibs that are washable, cloth rags for clean up, four straw cups, and three spoons. That's it!
-
Oh and a splat mat. So invaluable.

We are doing blw mainly so I haven't used bowls yet, but spoons are handy to help her anyway. I just ordered a long sleeve bib- the small fabric bibs are useless against solids! I also need to get a vinyl splat mat of some sort since there is a lot of food dropped!
And I'm looking to see what people say about cups- we have some little plastic cups that I help her drink out of, and sippy cups but I'm not such a fan of those yet.
It's a little daunting, starting solids, and it's very messy, but little babies covered in food are just so so cute!!
-
I haven't started solids yet but you might want to check out the Boon Plum dispensing spoon. We are going to try that with pouches when we start solids.
-
So in my mind all I needed was some food, now that I'm thinking about it, I need to get shopping!
-
We really didn't need much equipment. We got one Baby Bjorn bib that we rinse/wash between meals, one 2-pack of OXO spoons, 2 bowls and 2 plates. I made our food and the only new, baby food specific equipment I needed were storage containers or freezing trays.
-
We have four bibs, 8 OXO spoons, 4 straw cups, 2 sippy cups, 3 snack cups (the type with the lid kids can reach through), a great bowl and masher set that allows you to mash your food into a purée, and a bunch of kid-sized Tupperware for taking meals to daycare. We don't have any plates or bowls - DD just uses our normal dishes.
