Let's just get this out there: Starting solid foods is a huge transition. Not only is your baby's palette officially expanding to more exciting flavors, but it's also a big learning experience for parents — it's easy to be consumed with daunting questions like, 'How will I know if my baby is ready for solids?' and 'What are the best foods to start with?'
With so much going on during this exciting life phase, the most important thing to remember is that all babies are different, and will each have their own experience when beginning this big change.
One helpful way you can prepare? Make sure your kitchen is stocked with all of the best solid food essentials so you can spend more quality time with your little one during dinner, and less time worrying if you've found the best spoon for their developmental stage.
