Weaning and Feeding Product Spotlight
There are so many fantastic products on the market that parents can use when weaning their baby, and for retailers it gives you a good excuse to keep your customers coming back into store long after they have made their big, early baby purchases.
If you have been thinking about stocking weaning products, but are just not sure where to start, we have a selection of fantastic products from some of our favourite brands below.
We asked author CharIotte Stirling-Reed, AKA The Baby and Child Nutritionist, to break weaning products down into categories to help focus on what you need to recommend to your customers:
“I always like to break weaning products into must-haves, nice-to-haves and fancy-pants! I absolutely love the helpful bits of equipment that parents can get these days – things that just make the weaning journey a little extra FUN and easy.
But here are my 5 top items that are absolute must haves:
1.) A GOOD & supportive highchair with a foot rest – ideally one that grows with baby too so it has plenty of longevity.
2.) a LONG SLEEVED bib – this is SO essential to try and mitigate the mess that often comes hand in hand with weaning!
3.) An OPEN CUP – this is important as weaning progresses to help baby learn how to start learning to sip water from an open cup. It’s an important skill to help them develop.
4.) Re-useable FACE AND HAND WIPES – I’m a big fan of these and used them throughout weaning with both my kids. I love how parents can just use a little warm water, wipe away the mess & throw them straight in the washing machine.
5.) Baby BOWLS, PLATES and CUTLERY – soft, non breakable equipment is incredibly handy. Soft spoons are good for soft gums too, especially at the very start of weaning.”

Babydc
New for 2022, the Mealtime Essentials collection by Babydc offers parents, carers and gifters a design-led range of weaning and feeding products that are easy on the eye and fuss-free to use.
With a focus on creating products that will feel ‘at home’ in any home, Babydc has delivered food serving and storage solutions that are BPA, phthalate + PVC free and easy to clean and use.
A tasteful palette of plain sand and willow tones is used throughout which makes them less obvious as being for baby and helps to encourages the use of the storage items at home or on the move beyond toddlerhood. Nor would they look out of place at school or in the workplace.
Their feeding and preparation products are safe to use in the microwave, freezer and dishwasher and the storage products offer sealed lids which make them great to use whilst travelling away from home. All items are supplied in an attractive craft box making the items ideal for gifting and all cartons have a Eurohook for hanging or shelf display.
