Baby Feeding Delivery or Pickup

If you're breastfeeding exclusively, the only baby feeding supplies you may want to consider are a nursing cover, nursing pillow, and burp cloths. If you would like to store some of your breast milk for later feedings, a quality breast pump is a worthwhile investment. You will also need storage bags and bottles for your breast milk.

If you are feeding formula to your baby, you will need a steady supply of baby formula as well as bottles and burp cloths. A bottle brush and bottle drying rack will help, too. Ordering through Instacart can be a convenient option, as our shoppers can provide same-day delivery.

At six months, you can begin introducing your baby to solid foods. Most parents begin with cereal. You should wait three to five days between new foods so you can easily identify food allergies. At this stage, you will need a variety of baby feeding supplies such as small soft spoons, small bowls and plates, and baby cereals or pureed baby foods. Waterproof bibs with a pocket in the front help catch food that your baby spits out or drops.

As your child begins to crawl and walk, you can start introducing them to finger foods. You can find various crackers, puffs, and other snacks that are easy for babies and toddlers to eat, such as Gerber Lil' Crunchies and Happy Baby Teethers. Your toddler may also enjoy fruit and veggie pouches with purees that they can easily squeeze into their mouths themselves.

Around 12 months, you can start preparing more complete meals for your toddler. Gerber carries prepared meals like their mashed potatoes and meatloaf dinner complete with carrots, peas, and corn. You can also make meals like this yourself and transition out of ordering baby food and into preparing a variety of toddler dinners yourself. You can order from Instacart to make your day a little easier.
