• 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.

• 5 Benefits of Using a Baby Plate or Bowl

• 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.

• 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.

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

• ezpz Tiny Bowl
