Easy Grip Produce Peeler
Make introduction of fruits and vegetables a breeze with an sturdy peeler. Taking thick or textured skins off of produce can keep foods safe for baby as they learn to gnaw, chew and suck on their, soon to be, favorite foods.
Beautiful Paring Knife
A great paring knife should be comfortable to hold, and easy to use. The Kuhn Rikon is both! This knife makes slicing and dicing small amounts of produce so easy that you’ll never stress about prep again.
Produce Steamer
To make BLW a success, it needs to be practical for the whole family. This steamer makes mealtime easier when feeding all the mouths.
High Quality Food Processor/Blender
Purees can be a great way to introduce a variety of foods to baby, as well as introducing utensils. Don’t struggle with your dull blender blades, instead, upgrade to a high speed, fast mashing Vitamix. It’s one of the most used kitchen gadgets in my kitchen!
Portable High Chair
Family meal times where everyone sits nicely at the Dining Room table are a thing of the past. Families are on the go, and that can be challenging when trying to start your baby on solids. This portable chair has been a life saver for us. It clips onto our dining chairs, sits easily on the floor for snacks on the go, and packs tightly away in the car when we head out on trips.
A Bib That Actually Works
BLW is a mess! No matter how you choose to start, there is no way around food splatter and ruined outfits. The worst is when baby gets food stuck under their adorable chin rolls. It can be days before you realize the avocado you fed is still being stashed under their chin.
Perfect Sized Spoons
These little spoons are the perfect fit for your baby’s tiny fingers. The safety guard prevents them from jamming it too far into their mouths as they learn to feed themselves.
Summer Fun Popsicle Molds
As baby’s learn to eat, a lot goes in their hair, ears and on their clothes. It doesn’t seem like much makes it into their mouths. Instead of tossing leftover purees, scoop them into these cute molds and pop them in the freezer for a tasty summertime treat!
