About to start introducing solids and don’t know where to start? We’ll get you set with the basics you’ll need. Already on the messy but delightful journey that is weaning? Treat them to some beautiful new meal sets, that won’t disrupt your kitchen aesthetic. With all the best weaning-related products available at Mamas & Papas- from somewhere to sit them to techy bits for the kitchen - your entire weaning journey is covered.
Here are our current weaning must-haves:
For… the complete set
Our brand-new complete mealtime set has all the essentials for introducing them to solids. A sectional plate has 2 smaller sections and one large - designed for testing new tastes and textures; bowl with suction bottom; chunky short-ended fork and spoon, for developing grip and hand to mouth skills. We’ve really thought about the design of this set and added additional grippers to the fork for better food adherence and suction bottoms to the plate and bowl for less spillages. There’s also a matching silicone bib, with multiple neck attachments, for catching their mess. Made from LFGB food grade Silicone (more odour resistant and durable, so they won’t break when dropped - or thrown - from highchairs) this set is also wipe clean, dishwasher safe and microwave safe. Choose between 3 gorgeous shades– all tonal and stylish so they still look great in your kitchen – which you’ll find isn’t always a given with children’s weaning products!
Available in 3 muted neutrals, Melba, Kiwi and Truffle.
Toned to match our Silicone Set and Sippy Cup, this gorgeous Silicone bib is designed to catch crumbs and spills as they get used to picking up finger foods and getting to grips with cutlery. From the very start you’ll find this an invaluable throw-on – have a couple handy at all times!
For… keeping them clean (ish)
Milk feeding will still feature in your baby’s weaning journey – and now you have your hands full with solids (and all the extra mess!) too - so keep formula prep speedy with the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced. Mix, heat and dispense formula to the perfect consistency and temperature. Choose from 3 temperature settings adjust to accommodate large or small bottles to suit you.
For… meals out
Mamas & Papas Bug 3-in-1 will play lots of handy roles in your weaning journey! From 6 months old use it in Chair Mode - they can be strapped in the Bug seat to a dining chair, allowing them to join you for family meals. The removeable tray can be taken off easily for cleaning – or to allow them to get closer to the dining table – and the comfy padding can be removed for easy cleaning. You’ll find this mode super handy when eating meals out or visiting friends and there’s no highchair available. In Booster Mode (suitable from around 12 months to 3 years) Bug is a handy booster seat with crumb stoppers and lots of space for a growing toddler! And before you’re ready to start weaning you can use it as somewhere safe for your baby to sit and play, giving you more freedom – it’s suitable from around 3 months old.
Now they can switch to drinking their milk from a sippy cup instead of a bottle (plus they’ll now start to drink water) you’ll want a cup that’s spill-proof, easy to grip, easy to clean and looks great. Our Silicone 3-in-1 Sippy cup is part of our brand new Silicone range, made from durable, odour-resistant LFGB food grade Silicone, and is available in colours that co-ordinate stylishly with the rest of our range.
Plus, the all-important highchair
Here are our top picks:
Choosing your highchair is a bit like choosing your pushchair – there are plenty available, with different features and different prices and it’s a very personal choice. Choose yours based on how much space you have in your kitchen; whether you want to manoeuvre it from room to room frequently (say from kitchen to dining room); what’s important to you (maybe that’s easy to clean, comes ready-assembled, fits small spaces…); if you want one that adapts as they grow older; style and of course price.
Snax Highchair
A reasonably priced and fun-looking choice where you can be sure baby is comfy (thanks to 6 different chair heights and recline positions) and you can easily keep it clean (wipes clean easily and the tray is removable). Because the tray is removeable you can move the chair close to the dining table too, so your little one can join you for meals.
With a pared-back Scandi aesthetic and 3 stylish colour options, Juice was designed with modern grown-up interiors in mind, so it will always look great in your kitchen. Light and portable with built-in handles it moves easily from room to room; has a a removable dishwasher-safe tray and converts easily into a junior chair when you need it to.
