Essentials for 6 Months to 1 Year Old Baby

When your baby just begins to start on solids, around 6 months old, you have to choose the bib. The cloth bib is suitable for the next two months as the baby has not yet started sitting down while being fed.

Around 8th month your baby starts sitting down and it is best to have a bib that can catch food that slides down the bib and onto your bed or carpet depending on where you feed your baby. Here the fully silicon bib might be heavy on the neck of the baby so there is an alternative lightweight bib choice which is what I’m currently using.

  • Makes sure that baby can enjoy the fresh fruit without the fear of choking.
  • Attractive handle to keep the baby engaged.
  • Easy for baby to suck and chew tiny food particles from the mesh.
  • Can be used as a pacifier also.

Height Adjustable Bed Railing: https://amzn.to/3FvkkDF

Baby started crawling on tummy and soon with hand-knee. Sleeping at night seemed so stressful as I was always thinking what if amid the mid night playtime he manages to the edge of the bed. 

We had wall on two sides of the bed and turned the bed around to get the bed headboard to cover the 3rd side and started using bed rails at night and day time naps to have a peaceful head space.

Carpet/ Plastic Floor Mats: https://amzn.to/3QuVTg0

As baby starts the 7th month the crawling increases and the floor seems to be the safest space. To keep the baby warm during cold months we can accordingly choose between carpet and plastic mat.

Water Sipper: https://amzn.to/45KwJhM

As baby’s hand grip of holding increases they would begin to enjoy drinking from a sipper.

 

  • Easy Sipping: Soft Silicone spout is gentle on baby’s teeth.
  • Made of BPA free, non-toxic, food grade material.
  • Spill-proof: ensuring no leakage or spilling.
  • Easy grip twin handles.

Baby Walker/ Activity Push Walker: https://amzn.to/49hz5Yu

Baby Walker is the one on the left which is the age old toy but off-late research has shown that babies tend to develop slower in walking while using it as their legs don’t gain the required strength making it longer for them to walk. Also in case of heavy babies it tend to arch their tender formative bones.

A better walking alternative to that came the

Around 6 months+ when baby starts crawling on tummy the crab toy can be useful in promoting follow and fetch.

Plastic Ring Toy: https://amzn.to/40os8Rr

Once baby starts to sit playing with the plastic toy would be entertaining for baby. Now, I mostly prefer plastic toys over fur as a teething baby tends to bite into most things handy to them.

New Mom’s post delivery useful products – Embrace Motherhood 🙂

Mom’s Skincare – The Moms Co. All-nautral complete care pregnancy gift

Everyone is excited about the newborn and gifting clothes and lotions for the baby, show some love to that mother too 🙂 Good for applying on stretch marks and skin.

Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/44rnJ15

Breastpump – This is useful since the newborn baby has a small stomach and hence feeds every 1.5-2 hours. If the new mom is tired she can express the milk and store it in the fridge. For the new mom to catch some good rest/ sleep, their caretaker can heat up the milk and feed the baby. It is very important to do a thorough wash and sterilization (boiling parts of the pump and feeding bottle) as the baby is still not immune to bacteria. Since it is of best use in the first 2 months for the baby I personally prefer manual pump over automatic as the pricing is way different. Expressing at regular intervals, signals to the body on the requirement as baby may not feed at regular intervals.

Glass milk containers – to store milk in the fridge. Expressed milk can be kept in the fridge for 4 days and once heated and taken for feeding can be kept for 4 hours outside.

Chawanprash – Improves immunity of the mother.

Paladai – To introduce the baby to feeding in case they are not good at latching. Instead of the feeding bottle this would keep their sucking interest intact (as mentioned by lactation expert). Feeding bottle for newborns are not preferred for it is easy for bacteria to form at the nipple and corners of bottles.
