# First-year feeding essentials

> Glass and stainless options for every stage of the first year, from the first bottle to the first sippy cup. All picks disclose materials fully and skip plastics, BPA alternatives, and undisclosed coatings.

The first year of feeding asks parents to buy more gear than they expect, and a lot of it makes direct contact with what their baby eats and drinks. This set covers that ground from newborn through the toddler transition: bottles, bibs, a high chair, food storage, pouches, and a first cup.

Every pick here discloses materials clearly on the brand product page. Glass and stainless for anything that holds liquid. Silicone or organic cotton for bibs. Solid hardwood for the high chair. No BPA-free-but-unnamed-replacement plastics, no undisclosed coatings on the parts that touch food.

Start with the bottle; most of these work equally well as newborn or infant buys. The high chair is the biggest decision and the longest investment, so buy it once and buy it right. Food storage and pouches come later, when solids start around six months.
