Weaning your baby can be one of those steep learning curves where every website has a different nugget of wisdom and every parent has a different piece of advice.
Whether you’re into traditional weaning, baby-led weaning or a combination of both, what you really want is something to make the whole process simple and in this space there’s one go-to item that mums have been raving about for years.
The Philips Avent 2-In-1 Steamer Blender is the baby food maker that one reviewer calls the “must have for all new mummies (or daddies)” and “one of the best baby items ever bought.”

The gadget, available on Amazon, is designed to steam and then blend food in one container.
Once the ingredients you put into the container are cooked, you simply flip it over and engage the blend function which can be programmed to make the food very finely blended or a chunkier texture.
The Steamer Blender machine also comes with an age-appropriate recipe book, starting with simple purees and going right up to meals including meat and fish.
And it’s designed to be easily cleaned and stored, giving busy mums and dads one less thing to worry about.
“This is the best product we have bought for our son,” said one reviewer.
“It is amazing, really good – no mess you cook the food then turn over the jug and blend. It’s as easy as that. I thought it would be a hassle but it’s so easy and a pleasure to use.
“I’ve used this product and it works wonders! Saves lots of my time steaming and blending food for my baby,” said another.
Even better, the most difficult customers in the world, the bubs, give the gadget their “go gah” of approval.
“Most importantly my baby boy loves to eat the food as outlined in the recipe book,” says one mum.
“We have tried a few recipes from there [the included recipe book] and our baby loves it,” says another.
Some parents say the gadget is so good that they have continued to use it even after the weaning phase is over.
“As it is a steamer and blender in one there is minimal washing up. I now steam all our veg in this as it is so easy. I would highly recommend this product,” said one mum.
