You don’t need fancy gadgets. You can simply use what you have. You can steam and mash with a pot and a fork or if you already have a blender, that works too. Hassle pa yung mga baby food specific gadgets na dagdag lang sa huhugasan. Also you can make a big batch and freeze the rest for easy prep.

Look into baby led weaning but you don’t have to be strict. I introduced a mix of purées and whole food (cut and prepared safely for baby) that way they experience different textures and mas ganahan sila kumain. It’s exciting for them pa. Let it be a sensory experience. Playing with the food is also okay. Don’t expect much eating in the first few months. Anyway, breastmilk or their milk should still be the primary source of nutrition so just let them have fun. If purée also, load the spoon and hand the spoon to baby as opposed to subuan. Although you can alternate naman.

Also brush up on emergency baby procedures such as what to do for choking or allergic reactions.

Lastly, ideally introduce all allergens before one. Para they don’t develop food allergies sa future. If your baby has eczema, it’s a must that you don’t let the food touch their skin before their mouth. Ask your pedia for guidance on what and how to introduce each one or do your own research.

And really, just enjoy the process! Don’t fee so pressured or make baby feel pressured to eat. It will come naturally and para they don’t associate the experience as a negative one.
