3.Sterilizer
Ensuring the utmost hygiene when making and feeding baby food is crucial. Prioritize sterilizing the utensils by utilizing a sterilizer or by boiling them in hot water before each use.

4. Blender or Mixie grinder
This is a must have product in your kitchen for making baby food. Please use a separate mixie jar for making baby food as in Indian households we use the mixie to blend all types of masalas.
5. Potato Masher
Many of my friends suggested Potato Masher, works great to mash and puree baby food.
6. Baby High Chair
Baby high chair is also another important requisite, as it helps your baby support her back. Also if the baby is seated in a high chair, the mom can easily feed the baby with minimal mess to clean.
Check out our detailed guide on High Chair vs Booster seat here. It also includes the recommended brands of high chairs, booster seats and covertible high chairs.
7. Feeding Bowls and Spoons
Either you can use Feeding Bowls available in the market or your traditional silver cups, but make sure that the baby feeding spoons are soft tipped.

Dear, as the baby is now 6 months you can offer a lot more variety instead of formula only. Try to breast feed few times a day perhaps the baby develops taste again for it. Here’s the food chart for your help https://www.mylittlemoppet.com/diet-chart-for-6th-month-babies/
Hello Hema,

Dear, if the baby is having milk other than breast feed then you can use the same milk to make curd for your little one. The one made at home is the best for now.

Dear Hema,
Thank you for the support for new mommies 🙂 I have a big confusion in giving fruits for my 7months old. These days Apple, pears, grapes these kinda fruits are farmed with high pesticide usage. Finding organic fruits is a pain and only few are available like banana and chikoo and pomegranate. Can her tiny system get used to all these? Which foods are safe to use?
