As your baby gets older and develops new skills, you can swap out early feeding items for more age-appropriate ones to continue building independence and involvement. If you try to keep every single item you’ve used since the start, you’ll quickly find things piling up and getting in the way.

Keeping an organized cupboard or drawer just for your baby’s essential feeding items will save you time and prevent the stress of constantly sorting and cleaning. Think of it like this: the more pieces you accumulate, the less likely you are to wash and reuse the ones you actually need. Instead, everything builds up until you’re forced to tackle it all at once—which in the long run takes even more time.
