List of Baby feeding essentials
A comprehensive list of all baby feeding essentials
1. Pressure Cooker
A small Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker is ideal. It is advisable to use stainless steel rather than aluminium. You can make khichdi, steam vegetables and fruits, and even sterilise baby spoons and smaller items.
2. Food Processor
A baby food processor contains all the requisites for making baby food like seive, masher, cups, spoons, juicer, grater etc. You can also use utensils you are already using but take care to sterilise all the utensils properly before feeding the baby.
Check out our Food Processor Collection
3.Sterilizer
Sterilizing the utensils used for making and feeding baby food is of paramount importance. You can either use a Sterilizer or boil the utensils in hot water before using them.
Check out the sterilizer collection Here
You can check out our video on how to sterilize baby feeding utensils.
4. Blender or Mixie grinder
This is a must have product in your kitchen for making baby food. Please use a separate mixie jar for making baby food as in Indian households we use the mixie to blend all types of masalas.
5. Potato Masher
Many of my friends suggested Potato Masher
6. Baby High Chair
Baby high chair is also another important requisite, as it helps your baby support her back. Also if the baby is seated in a high chair, the mom can easily feed the baby with minimal mess to clean.
Check out our detailed guide on High Chair vs Booster seat here. It also includes the recommended brands of high chairs, booster seats and covertible high chairs.
7. Feeding Bowls and Spoons
Either you can use Feeding Bowls available in the market or your traditional silver cups, but make sure that the baby feeding spoons are soft tipped.

Dear, as the baby is now 6 months you can offer a lot more variety instead of formula only. Try to breast feed few times a day perhaps the baby develops taste again for it. Here’s the food chart for your help https://www.mylittlemoppet.com/diet-chart-for-6th-month-babies/
Hello Hema,
My lil one is 8 months now. when can I start giving yogurt to him. Can I give adult yogurt?
Dear, if the baby is having milk other than breast feed then you can use the same milk to make curd for your little one. The one made at home is the best for now.

Dear Hema,
Thank you for the support for new mommies 🙂 I have a big confusion in giving fruits for my 7months old. These days Apple, pears, grapes these kinda fruits are farmed with high pesticide usage. Finding organic fruits is a pain and only few are available like banana and chikoo and pomegranate. Can her tiny system get used to all these? Which foods are safe to use?
