PLATES, BOWLS, CUPS, SPOONS

I use the ezpz silicone suction mats and bowls as well as their baby cup and baby spoon for baby-led weaning. They’re all 100% foodgrade silicone and designed by ezpz’s feeding expert. You can use my affiliate code BABYLED for 10% off

The products I think are most helpful early on in BLW are:

BAPRON BABY

Bapron baby bibs are the best bibs. They are waterproof, really durable, allow for baby’s range of motion and last forever. Affiliate discount code KATIE10 works for 10% off at bapronbaby.com.

Bapron also makes splash mats that go under the high chair to help minimize mess. These are also waterproof, pack down really small so perfect for your diaper bag and can be washed over and over and over without losing their quality. Affiliate discount code KATIE10 also works for 10% off at bapronbaby.com.

PUFFWORKS

You don’t need to buy any baby food if you’re doing baby-led weaning…but if you want the easy baby puffs which are a no stress no mess way to introduce peanut to your baby, I like the Puffworks Baby peanut and Puffworks Baby almond puffs.

My affiliate discount code BABYLED works at puffworks.com and a case of each (baby peanut and baby almond) is what most families will need to give their baby about 20 different exposures to each of these 2 allergenic foods.
