What to use when weaning?

Weaning time already wow time flies when your having fun, and weaning should be as well. So what do you need to wean your baby.
Not a lot really.

First is getting equipment, where to start we here is a list of the items I have for weaning my daughter.

Ice cube trays 2 will do but I have 6.
Freezer bags try to get re-usable. Get about 20 to 30 bags
Or use the plastic boxes you get from the Chinese They are great. Save up about 10
Soft tipped weaning spoons (I recommend tommee tippee) 6 to start with.
4 to 8 small tubs (again I recommend tommee tippee).
1 easy flow cup (again I recommend tommee tippee).

You can get a cool weaning started set from Argos for around £10 which you get
6 soft tipped weaning spoons( heat sensitive)
4 weaning tubs(pots)
2 weaning bowls one with lid and spoon
1 easy flow cup

I also have

8 small tubs from poundland
I have 27 soft tipped weaning spoons
6 small bowls with lids
3 easy flow cups.

So have all the equipment now it is the food. I’m not sure of the BLW (baby led weaning) So this is for the puree route. First choosing how you will feed your baby, jarred , homemade or a mix?
I do both I started with baby rice easy to get and easy to make. I personally choose hipp organic food. Unless I make it myself and use both organic and normal fruit and vegetables.

What foods to use when starting weaning?

Baby rice
Apples
Bananas
Mango’s
Plums
Peaches
Pears
Butternut squash
Potatoes
Sweet potatoes
Carrots
Swede
Peas
Cauliflower

Though there is so much more you can try a list of foods to avoid
until there a year if you wean before 6 months old (please contact your health visitor or your doctor before you start if you want to wean before six months old.)

Avoid

Eggs
fish and shellfish
soft and unpasteurized cheese
Also avoid Salt, sugar, honey and nuts
Foods that containing gluten and wheat.

You should always read food lables before giving them to your baby.

Another item you might want to get if you don’t have is a steamer as it is the best way to cook your fruit and vegetables and along with a blender. A hand held blender will be great for blending your baby food.
