3. Try different products, then buy lots of your favorites. My favorite spoon is the Munchkin spoon seen on the right. Other spoons are too short or too big or too skinny. Same with bottles. With our oldest son, we used the Avent (3 or 4 pieces) brand. With the triplets, we've used the Playtex VentAie Advanced (a 5-piece system). The key, though, is to have lots of the same; that way the parts are interchangeable.
2. You can never have enough bibs. You might think you do, but you don't. My favorites (for the baby food stage) are cloth with an elasticized hole for the neck. We bought a bunch when our Thrifty-White Pharmacy was down-sizing, but we should have bought every single one of them. When they reach the solid food stage, a plastic bib with a pocket along the bottom are nice, because the pockets catch a lot of crumbs.
1. Buy a Nose Frida. Yes, at first it appears gross (okay, not quite as gross as the Windi), but it can be your best friend when the little ones are congested. Don't wait--order one or more now! http://www.fridababy.com/shop/nosefrida/
