Every parent looks forward to the day when their baby will start eating solid foods. It doesn't always go as planned. It tends to get messy, requires a bath afterwards, but it's an exciting new stage in your child's development. That's why we've put together a list of must-have items that we're sure will make the process more enjoyable for mom, dad and baby.

Here are 5 essential Citron products we like to recommend to parents with babies.

1. Bamboo Bowl with Suction Cup

Our bamboo collection is cute, durable and eco-friendly. Our bowl is a safe and beautifully designed product. The suction cup on its bottom will help avoid messy spills from your little one.

This product is available in 3 pretty pastel colors: dusty blue, blush pink or olive green.

2. Bamboo Cup

Our bamboo tumbler cup comes with a wooden straw and will make drinking enjoyable while being spill-free. This bamboo collection item is available in the same color options as our bowls.

3. Multi-Purpose Bag

Being a parent means being prepared for any eventuality. And because space matters, we designed a bag where parents can store mealtime essentials, apparel, toys, personal hygiene products and in general, whatever a family needs when they’re away from home. This is our biggest and most versatile carrying bag yet and can be used beyond the baby years by the entire family.

 

4. Lunchbox

Preparing your baby's lunch on outing days is easy with our compartmentalized lunch box. This item is made of BPA-free Tritan plastic keeping your food sealed with a leak-proof lid.

5. Thermal Food Jar

Keep your baby's food warm wherever life takes you and your family. We don't always have access to a working stove or microwave outside, which is why we suggest our Thermal Food Jar to active parents who want to provide a hot meal for their child.
