Recommended Baby Products: Let's Eat!

My son, David, is only 9 months old so keep that in mind when you see me recommend products to use to eat. He doesn't feed himself yet so I can't recommended products that the baby uses, just things that I have used to feed him.

Dr. Brown Bottles
Let's start at the beginning with bottles. There are so many bottles on the market! That was probably the hardest thing for me to register for. What is the best? What if my baby has colic and I don't even know yet? What's the easiest to clean? We decided to register for Dr. Brown bottles. Of course we didn't know if David was going to be colic or not (since he was in my belly), but we didn't want to risk buying or registering for another brand and then having to go back and buy Dr. Brown's. You will read plenty of reviews about these bottles being a pain to clean. I honestly didn't have a problem with cleaning them. You can even buy a basket to put all the parts in and then just throw it into the dishwasher.
The set pictured below runs for around $20 on Amazon. I have both the standard bottles (pictured below) and the wide neck bottles. Either size will do but the standard sized bottles attach to a Medela Breast Pump which is nice.

OXO  Tot Feeding Spoon
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ANY OTHER SPOONS! GET THESE! Ok, hopefully you get my point :) I've tried other spoons and I find that after a few spoonfuls my hand starts to cramp. I know that sounds ridiculous but it's true! The way that this spoon is curved makes it easier for your to shovel food into your little ones mouth. They are a little bit more expensive than other spoon packs, but trust me, it is worth the price.

Euro-Pro Ninja Master Prep Food Processor

I decided even before I was pregnant that I would make my own baby food. It is much more cost efficient and healthier. I have only made fruits and veggies so far and it has been great! I usually make all the food in one day and stock up the freezer. So far I have been making food about every 3 or 4 weeks. We already owned the Ninja before we even thought about having kids. It has worked wonders with making baby food. I have only used the smaller Ninja and not the blender one. It has been used for lima beans, apples, pears, sweet potatoes and butternut squash (just to name a few). They go for about $100 on Amazon, not sure if you could get a better deal at Kohls or on an infomercial.

That is all I have to recommend so far for eating. I make my own baby food and when I make it I store it in the Pampered Chef 1 cup prep bowls. I have about 6 of them and they are great for freezing food because they are glass. I just ordered David his first sippy cups off of Amazon. I will try them out and let you know how they do.
