While jars of food are undoubtedly convenient, we all know that fresh home-made food is best for our babies. Cooking and mashing food isn't difficult, but can seem another daunting task in a busy mum's day, so we're all in favour of anything that makes life that bit easier.
The all-in-one solution for great home-made baby foods
The Babycook from BEABA does exactly that: it will steam, purée, reheat and defrost small quantities of food simply and efficiently - and it's easy to clean too. Just chop up your veg, add water to the reservoir, and hey presto! Cooked to perfection. Pop it in the lower bowl, set to pulse and you've got the ideal consistency for your little one.
It comes complete with a recipe booklet to get you started, and is sure to become one of the most used items in your kitchen during this vital period in your baby's development. It costs £65.
BEABA extras for happy eaters
To serve your baby's first meals, the right spoon can really make the difference between acceptance and rejection - remember he's not used to cutlery yet.
BEABA's My First Meals soft spoon, £2.30, is made from silicon and will help your baby make the transition from teat to spoon, and the handle is ideal for adult hands.
When your baby is ready to feed himself he can move on to the Second Age ergonomic spoon and fork, made from soft plastc with chunky handles that are perfect for gripping. The spoon costs £2.30, or £4 for a fork and spoon set.
