At the first moment of complementary feeding there are several things that need to be prepared in order to provide the best food for the baby, as quoted from various sources:


1. Kids Tableware

Currently, there are many baby feeding products available. You can choose cutlery with attractive designs and striking colors, so that children become more excited. However, don't forget to consider the safety factor. Make sure the cutlery, such as plates, bowls and glasses is labeled BPA free. BPA is a chemical that can be transferred to food and poses a risk of causing health problems in children.


2. Filter

It is better to give food with a smooth texture. That's why it's important that you have a filter. This tool will help smooth the food after it is cooked in the pan. So you don't need a slow cooker or blender. With a filter, it becomes easier for you to adjust the level of smoothness of the texture of the baby's solids.


3. Baby Apron

In the early days of babies learning to eat, they are less likely to eat quietly. There must have been food splattered, either on his plate, hands, or clothes. For that, it is important that you prepare a baby apron or bibs


4. Complementary Foods with Appropriate Texture and Complete Composition

Complementary feeding for babies must pay attention to the texture composition that suits the needs of the little one, Bun. According to the Indonesian Pediatric Association (IDAI), the texture of food is also important to train babies' ability to chew and swallow, as well as train their digestive system.
