- Highchair. If you have one, make sure it's sturdy. It should have a big tray as well as a harness or safety belt. Spread newspaper or towels underneath at mealtime to make cleaning up easier.
- Bibs. Look for rigid plastic bibs with a pocket designed to catch spills.
- Dishes. Use a heavy plastic bowl that won't slide around on the high chair tray table. You can serve most foods at room temperature or a little warmer.
- Cups. Serve liquids in a baby cup with two handles and a lid with a spout. This kind of cup makes learning to drink easier.
