Confused of What to Buy for a 6 months Old Baby? - Things Babies Need for 6 to 12 months

Essentials for 6 to 12 Months Baby

        As a mom, I know how hard we will strive during the first three months owing to sleepless nights, delivery discomforts/ pain, postpartum depression, no personal time, feeding, etc. Subsequently, in the next three months, we are a bit free from those things. After six months, it's time to take solid foods to the babies. From the exclusive breastfeeding, we are somewhat revealed that the baby depends on both. During this six to twelve months period, a few things are required for the baby which is listed below.

Food & Fruit Silicone Nipple:

        Silicone Nipple is ideal to introduce foods and fruits, once they start their solids. It is easy to hold and used as a teether too. All we do is, insert fruits in the nipple portion and encourage babies to feed themselves. Once they start to chew, foods will be extracted from the holes of the nipple. Surely, babies enjoyed eating in this silicone nipple. Moreover, it is the first step in encouragement to their self-feeding.

Bib Cloth:

        Since we start to feed solid food to the babies, bib clothes are a must. It helps to protect the baby’s dress from food stains.

Teeth Cleaner/ Finger Brush:

        Usually, we don’t use toothbrushes for newborns. So, wetted soft cloths are used to clean the baby’s teeth and gums in tradition. Now, silicone teeth cleaners are available for the new moms now. It is a pouch to insert into your finger. The soft bristles in the finger brush are easy to clean and it doesn’t hurt.

Cloth Diaper:

        Diapers are a gracious gift to the mommies. It helps the mommies to look over some other work for hours. Particularly, the cloth diaper helps to maintain the baby’s hygiene and free from rashes. For more details....click CLOTH DIAPER.

Rompers/ Body Suit: 

        Rompers are full coverage one-piece cloth for babies or newborns. It is provided with buttons or a Zip to wear the dress. This dress is a perfect choice for the rainy or winter season. It has full hand sleeves and closed/opened full legs. Some of the Bodysuits come with hoodies also. In addition to that, onesie dresses will be almost similar types. Onesies are legs free with two or three buttons/snaps attached to the crotch.

Laundry Detergent:

        In recent days, laundry detergent washes are specially produced for newborns and toddlers. These laundry washes are free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. So, choose the best antibacterial laundry wash which is not harmful to the babies but it should be tough on the stains.

Baby Safety Gate:

        From the sixth month onwards, babies will eventually sit followed by crawling, standing, etc. If your babies are not in a safe place i.e. rooms near the staircase or rooms near balconies, this baby safety gate is a must to buy. We bought two gates. One is from the Amazon Luvlap brand and the other one is from the Safe-o-kids website. Comparatively, we feel the Luvlap brand is best, according to the quality. If you are not aware of this safety gate, please read the following.

• It is made of strong and durable steel.
• Kids cannot open this gate because it has double lock security.
• Drilling is not required to fix it. The installation will be of pressure mount design, so walls will not get affected.
• It is suitable for doorways and staircases.
• This door operates on the auto close system in both directions.

Board Books:

        I bought a set of 12 books with basic words like animals, birds, fruits, alphabet, vehicles, rhymes, storybooks, etc. These books entertain a baby very much and improve their listening skills.

Spout Cup:

        Definitely, I give a big thumbs up to this Spout cup/ bottle. It is specially designed for small hands with a soft spout and easy-to-grip handles. It helps your growing little one from a transition of bottle-feeding to this Sippy/ spout cup. It encourages the baby’s independent drinking.

Baby Potty Chair:

        The baby’s acceptance at each stage depends on our training. When it comes to potty training, I would recommend buying a potty chair. It can be used after nine months. Also, it is advisable to train your baby to potty as soon as possible. So that they can easily adapt to potty training.
