If you’re about to embark on your weaning journey and you are in need of the absolute basic weaning essentials, this guide is for you. There’s enough mystery and guesswork in parenting to go around, but the weaning essentials you need should not be kept a secret. Try out my weaning favourites from the guide below to make the transition, whether first, third or fifth time to make the process that little bit easier. Expect full-sleeved bibs, very well-designed bottle teats and extra cute cutlery for tiny tots.
1. Liewood’s Carin Lunch Box – Tuscany Rose
Weaning can be a lot to get your head around in the home but I have news for you, you need to do all the weaning things when you are outside the home too! So let me present the most aesthetically pleasing lunchbox I have ever seen from Liewood (of course). Perfect for lunch on the go, with cool colour shades of transparent tritan and 2 sizes to choose from, the Carin lunch box is a super cool container for lunch and snacks. Featuring a shatterproof and waterproof design and a cool silicone strap to make sure the lid stays safely on.

2. PandaEar Silicone Baby Weaning Set
This baby weaning set is made of high-quality food-grade silicone and all parts are completely dishwasher safe. My favourite part is that it is completely free from BPA PVC lead phthalates and any toxic materials. They are also gentle on baby’s gums, easy to clean and look good in any kitchen! In my experience, the chunkier handles on baby cutlery works much better as they get a really good grip on the handle.
3. BIBaDO coverall weaning bib
This soft full sleeved bib protects your little babe from spoiling cherished clothing during mealtimes and is super easy to put on, with a velcro fastening at the back of the neck that is adjustable, ensuring that it fits both babies and toddlers. The soft bib is waterproof and has practical elasticated sleeves and can be attached underneath the tray of your highchair. It’s also very easy to wipe clean or rinse under the tap.
4. Alooni silicone sippy cup
Alooni’s super stylish sippy cups make the perfect neutral addition to your weaning repetoire with their easy-grip handles and removable lids that are gentle on the gums. Incredibly easy to clean, we love the fact that these can be sterilised at high temperatures.
5. Munchkin 360 trainer cup
The 360 trainer cup is a great alternative for weaning a baby from using a bottle, to a cup. It’s clever design means that there is no need for spouts or straws and it’s even easier to clean. Holds 207ml, dishwasher safe, suitable from 6 months.

7. Nanobébé Flexy Silicone Baby Bottles
The Flexy Silicone Baby Bottle is designed to take the stress out of bottle feeding, and that is something I most definitely needed on our transition from breast to bottle feeding!
