Links from This Episode:
• Bapron Baby bapron bibs are here.
• The “toddler” size says it’s for 6 months to 3 years; I’ve never had babies be able to wear this size after 2 but this is the size you get for infants starting solids
• The “preschool” sizes says it’s for age 3+ but again, my kids and families usually transition to this seize around age 2
• The code KATIE10 gets you 10% off everything at bapronbaby.com
• Bapron Baby splash mats are here. These are pricier than other splash mats, but definitely worth it. The material is really durable, non-plastic, can rinse in your kitchen sink & reuse and they’re huge, can put under 2 high chairs at a time or use as a picnic blanket. Code KATIE10 works for 10% off at bapronbaby.com for these too.
• The silicone suction mats and bowls I use are from ezpz. The products I like most for BLw are:
• The ezpz First Foods Set: everything you need to get a safe start to solid food, includes a Tiny Bowl, 2-pack of Tiny Spoons and the Tiny Cup
• The Mini Bowl & Mini Mat.
• Everything at ezpzfun.com is 10% off with code KATIE10
• The best non-toxic household cleaners I have used are from Branch Basics. I love that they use the same concentrate to make every product in their lineup. You can get 15% off their starter kits with the code KATIE15 (spend a little more for the premium starter kit with the oxygen boost, it’s AMAZING for getting food stains out of clothes!)
