best highchair for baby led weaning

Oh, the highchair: that first purchase that really matters when it comes to weaning. It is the place where your baby will spend quite a lot of time after 6 months of age until around…. well, until he figures out how to jump out of it I guess!

how to teach baby to drink water from a cup

Read on if you want to know which cup we decided it was the best for our baby, when to offer water and how to teach a baby to drink water from a cup in 4 easy steps that worked for us! Hopefully they will work for you too!   [Do not offer water to baby before 6 months if you’re breastfeeding, not even in hot weather.

spices in baby's food

Where I come from there is this saying that roughly translates to ‘like salt in food’, meaning something so dear to you that you couldn’t live without it. Indeed, I have grown so fond of putting salt in everything, that I could not imagine life without it.   My little girl, Emma, on the other hand, knows nothing of this magical ingredient.
