Friday Favorites: Top Baby Feeding Products

I’m shocked at how many new baby feeding items are available this time around. I registered, and got most of my baby items when I was pregnant with my first child only 5 years ago. Now, with baby #3 it seems like there are so many new products on the market! Tommy has just started solids and he loves them. We’re exploring new foods and trying some new feeding products along the way. Here are some of our favorite baby feeding items: 

Highchairs

Babybjorn: I have tried A LOT of high chairs and this is the most durable, light weight, easy to transport and easy to use highchair. It also takes up a lot less space than others, especially when closed/legs folded in. Right now it’s 35% off on Amazon!

Stokke Steps:  Stokke’s new chair is designed to bring baby to the table. You can use from infancy with the baby seat attachment, then a tray when the baby starts to eat, and then as a chair when they no longer need a tray. It’s truly a chair that’s worth the investment because you’ll use it for a long time and for so many stages of your child’s life. 

Stokke Trip Trapp: Similar to Stokke Steps in that they will will grow with your child. Children can use them from the time they can sit up until they are adults! Maggie and Alex still sit in a Trip Trapp (ages 3 & 5). They also make great desk chairs for bigger kids. They also come in many great colors! 

Bottles

 Evenflo: I’ve tried a lot of bottles, most of them with a lot of parts. This time I tried Evenflo’s Classic Tinted Glass + Vented Bottles and really like them. I’ve also used the plastic version too. They are very reasonably priced and come with no extra parts to worry about and clean. The bottles come with Proflow™ Integrated Venting Nipple that directs air bubbles into the bottle – which means less gas.

Plates & Spoons 

Both of these brands are well made, easy to clean and all 3 of my kids have used & loved them.

Bibs

While feeding my first 2 babies, I never found a brand of bibs that I really liked. We used an assortment, and almost all bibs that had to be cleaned in the washing machine. This time around, I’ve found 2 brands that I love. Both are really easy to simply wipe clean!

Innovative Products

I’ve seen a lot of new feeding products in the past few months, but these two are by far the most innovative and useful:

Born Free Bottle Genius: Do you use a Keurig to make your coffee? We do, and it’s so much easier, faster and less mess than when we used to use a regular coffee pot. The Born Free Bottle Genius does the same thing for bottle making. I couldn’t believe how easy it was, and it’s definitely a gadget dads will like too.  It has an easy to use dial that lets you accurately  measure how much you want to make: ranging from 2 – 10 ounces. The SmartScale technology automatically portions out formula and water for the perfect bottle, every time. You can even choose between room temperature or warm bottles. The best part is it works with all major bottle brands and all powder formula brands. This is seriously such a cool product! 

Boon SUDS Bottle Washer: With the girls, I’d spend time trying to scrub bottles clean and still felt like I’d see a gross film on them. Washing bottles was always something I dreaded doing at the end of the day. NOW our bottles are super clean, super fast, thanks to the Boon SUDS. This little gadget sells for about $22 (you can find at Target or on Amazon) and washes bottles in just a few seconds with it’s simple one-handed pump operation. SUDS fits right in your sink basin and with it’s water jet and spinning scrubbing action, ensures thorough cleaning. Here’s the best part: it’s so easy, you could have the older siblings take over bottle cleaning!
