With all of the products for both babies and moms on the market, it can get quite overwhelming. I know that I personally spent hours searching and browsing the internet and was so confused as to which products to buy before my baby girl came. This brings me to my baby must-haves, feeding edition. Not only did I do a lot of research prior to making purchases, but we also wasted quite a bit of money on items that just didn’t make the cut or just plain broke after only a small amount of use.
I included items that are essential for both feeding baby at home and on the go. Below the image, I provided a break down of each product- why I love it, and how we use it.
MUNCHKIN SNACK CATCHER – We use these snack catchers both at home and on the go. They are perfect for snack time at home, in the car, at a nail appointment, or on a Target run. They are actually also super handy for lunch on the go as well. Charlotte has ate her lunch out of them on many occasions.
OXO TOT BIB – This bib is so convenient for on-the- go dining. It rolls up for easy travel and cleans up super easy. I especially love the pocket because it catches the millions of pieces of food Charlotte drops in her lap at restaurants.
SHOPPING CART & HIGH CHAIR COVER – We LOVE this! It is so cushioned and provides so much support especially for babies like Charlotte who are on the smaller side. We use it in both carts and highchairs, it stays secure with straps and ties, and wipes clean very easily. It is so good, I get questions on this cover nearly every time we are out.
TRAVEL BOOSTER SEAT – We originally bought this for the lake, but it can also be used as a substitute high chair. It has extra feet to help add stability, straps that allow it to be attached to a dining room chair, and easily folds for travel.
MUNCHKIN PLACEMATS – These are super handy! They have a sticky bottom surface which prevents Charlotte from shoving her food off of the table onto the floor, wipe clean in a flash, and roll up saving space in my diaper bag! These are a must-have for restaurant dining and I never go without them.
OXO TOT HIGHCHAIR – This is the second highchair we’ve had since Charlotte was born. There are so many things I like about this chair. It is super easy to keep clean, cleans up quickly, has a modern and sleek aesthetic, has a removable tray topper, can be converted into a big kid chair, and the tray can be moved in and out with one hand!
STASHER BAGS – I love these bags! I use them to hold Charlotte’s puffs, blueberries, strawberries, and avocado. They are environmentally friendly, easy to clean, and never leak! I have both the 1/2 gallon and sandwich bags.
SILICONE BIB – These bibs are great for everyday use! Because they are 100 percent silicon, they do not stain and can be washed in the sink along with Charlotte’s dishes. Again the pocket is super helpful and we never go without!
SILICONE GRIP DISHES – These dishes stick really well to smooth surfaces and are perfect for new eaters!
MUNCHKIN SIPPY CUP – Love this cup because it DOES NOT leak. The Dr. Brown’s I had previous to this one starting leaking and it drove me nuts. These are 7 ounces, which is the perfect amount and the straw is flexible, making it safe for little ones.
