Conservation boxes

Most babies start weaning at around 6 months but of course, every baby is different. Some babies need more than milk a little earlier and others still aren’t ready for baby food at this stage.

Most babies will let you know when they need more than milk to sustain them. Remember the following tips: - Avoid introducing solid foods to a baby younger than 4 months - Remember that weaning age varies from baby to baby - After 4 months, your baby may start to be more difficult to settle or wake up hungry more often in the night – these can be signs that he is getting ready for food

In the first few days it’s a good idea to start baby on some fruit and vegetables which are naturally sweet. Make sure they’re well-cooked – apples, bananas, peaches, pears, carrots and spinach usually go down well. Baby rice is also a good first food as it’s milk-based and easy for little tummies to digest. Don’t feel bad if you don’t have time to prepare homemade food every day – babies have been eating pots for years and they are full of nutrition. Babies also love little yoghurt pots and other dairy products that you can buy from the supermarket. Remember to give baby regular sips of water with food. Advice: weaning safety Just in case your baby chokes, always stay with him/her when he/she’s eating.

In the early days, remember that breast milk or formula milk will still be the basis of your baby’s nutrition. To help everything go smoothly, a few tips: • only introduce solid food in one meal per day and on new taste / one new food at a time • do it  gradually – start with just a couple of mouthfuls • even if sometimes you see more grimaces than smiles on your baby’s face, persevere and remember every food is a new taste to get used to  • weaning takes around 6 months, so take your time, relax and enjoy introducing your baby to new tastes • if baby gets impatient and wants more and faster, you’ve cracked it! • if baby won’t open his mouth don’t worry – he just might not be ready yet. Try to avoid conflicts over feeding and try again later

Try a plate with different compartments: it means you can tempt him with different types of food, one after another. Many babies find containers with different sections fascinating, so this is also a way to keep his interest while he eats. Check out our new learning plate with cover

Make sure to use a spoon made of very soft plastic that won’t hurt your baby’s gums. Bébé Confort has designed special cutlery that meet mum’s needs during the first diversified meals : check out our mum’s spoons !

To make sure that weaning is fun for you and baby it’s a good idea to get everything ready before you start. Baby meals will be a lot easier if you can be ready with a few bits of equipment including: - baby bouncers + highchairs - spoons designed for small mouths and sensitive gums - Bowl - Bibs - Storage containers

All Bébé Confort dishes are made of polypropylene plastic, which guarantees they do not contain Bisphenol A. The European directive number 2011/8 of 01/02/2011 now forbids the sale of infant feeding bottles containing Bisphenol A.

The lid may seem difficult to open and to close, especially when you first try. However, this quickly becomes easy after a few uses. Remember, the hermetic lid has been specially designed to offer some resistance to being opened in order to avoid the following risks: - to prevent baby from opening the product - to prevent the product from opening accidentally, if it falls, for example.

These conservation boxes have a rewritable tag zone to indicate the food content which washes off in the dishwasher. However, make sure to use an erasable board pen !

There is no best option to wash your baby’s dishes. Be aware that all of Bébé Confort dishes are dishwasher compatible so cleaning them will be very easy. You can also choose to hand wash your child’s items using a good washing up liquid and rinse them thoroughly afterwards.
