Start Weaning Your Baby - Equipment

High Chair - again, this is optional. Certainly when you're starting out, baby may still be developing the necessary muscles to hold her head up, so a high chair may be best left until she's around 12 months of age. Feeding baby in your lap has advantages, because with you holding baby you can minimise squirming. You can also try propping baby in a chair with cushions to support her head and neck.

Leftover containers - make sure you have plenty of small containers with tight lids for storing leftovers. You should always separate the food into portions before you feed baby, otherwise the bacteria from baby's mouth will end up in the leftovers and make them spoil. Only feed baby one portion at a time, and throw out any that's left over from that meal.
