Colourful plastic bowls ideally with suction cups on the bottom - this will cover off the food-throwing phase.

Small, smooth round-tipped plastic or rubber spoons – these are gentle on your baby’s delicate mouth and gums.

If you want to get techy get spoons that change colour if the food is too hot - although always check the temperature first.

Ice cube trays to freeze portions of purees and freezer bags to store the cubes – great for batch cooking.

Baby cup or beaker. Free flowing spouts (without a valve) helps to protect teeth. Be prepared for little spillages - did we mention that weaning is messy!

Baby highchair - Ideally get one with strong straps, easy to fold away, easy to clean removable tray covers and cushions and adjustable height settings for when your baby grows.

Baby booster seat. For when your baby is older, a baby booster seat ties to your own chairs meaning you can enjoy mealtimes together.

Messy mats or a shower curtain. Not essential but if your baby is fond of throwing food, you may be thankful for one of these. After all weaning and mess go hand in hand!
