[BabyCJuly]

Hi there,

Weaning shopping list please? Including cups/sippy cups? Also high chair recommendations? Thanks so much!

Ps also my daughter I think is brewing her first tooth! What toothbrush do you recommend and do I buy a certain toothpaste?

Clueless - sorry! Thanks so much again! Xxxx

I love this high chair. I paid $$$ to import it from Europe to USA and it's been so worth it. Beautiful, easy to fold away, easy to wipe, easy to get baby in and out of. I can unfold it with one hand with baby in the other arm.

Gosh there's so many out there.

Firstly I wouldn't recommend going all out on expensive stuff, they really do get lost, broken filthy.

I suggest looking on nuby website, got all my stuff from there.

You would need, a simple simple sippy cup and I got another one that's open for when they've got used to the idea.

A couple of plastic cup suction bowls

Loads of spoons, they go everywhere haha. There all same really, some are chunky for baby to hold but didn't work for mine really.

A cup suction plate.

Lots of little jars, if your making your own.

Nibbler with net - there good at beggining for tastes and no risk of choking

Bibs lots of them.

A mat to put on floor they are messy buggers haha.

That's it to be honest, I wouldn't bother wasting money it goes so quick, and I didn't use stuff I bought.

High chair again I wouldn't go all out, mine was from aldi was great but now at 11 month I put him on a portable one at the table 🤷‍♀️. All do same thing.

Good luck it's so fun but my walls, radiators now need painting 🤣

I had a fancy high chair and tbh it was a pain in the backside. No joke cleaning it properly was a half hour job after my daughter had baby led her way to getting as much food into as many of the tinniest nooks and crannies that she could I'd recommend just getting an ikea cheapo tbh and if we have any more that's what I'll be doing. Clothes WILL get filthy bib or no bib. I'd recommend stripping her down as much as your heating will allow and learning how to effectively stain remove. As a general rule food based stains are best dabbed with plenty of washing up liquid until they're more or less off. TBH I only bothered doing this with her overclothes though hence why her vests were horrendous by the time she outgrew them haha. We never bothered with fancy cups or plates that suck onto the highchair either. She'll soon learn that it doesn't feel good to poor her drink all over herself and if she wants to make a mess then she will. Don't overthink it. Just plan for the most fun for your little one and the least cleaning for you and enjoy this time. It's lots of fun x

As a general rule food based stains are best dabbed with plenty of washing up liquid until they're more or less off Sorry that wasn't worded so well. As in give them a good dab with washing up liquid before they go in the washing machine or stain remover. It took a while for me to learn this and it's honestly saved so much of her clothes.
