A baby covered head-to-toe in mashed sweet potato may make for a sweet photo opp, but parents know that the reality of a messy mealtime gets old quick when you’re responsible for prepping food, feeding, and cleaning up after an infant multiple times a day. Especially considering that a recent survey determined that 61% of parents regularly take on the task of making their own baby food from scratch. Thankfully, the experts at Skip Hop are known for dreaming up small details that make a huge difference for parents. Their latest line of products streamlines the sticky business of feeding baby: from prepping and storing meals, to feeding with less mess, to snacking on-the-go with ease. The new Infant Feeding Line features 9 new products (in pretty colors, of course) that promise to make life easier for parents. We’re taking a closer look at the new products in our slideshow below. Check ’em out!

Easy-Prep Food Press Set
This easy-to-use press allows parents to produce and store fresh food for baby with a quick one-step system. Simply press fruits, veggies, and any other recipes you can dream up directly into the snap-on storage containers. The 7-piece set includes 2 stainless-steel plates (for different food consistencies) and 2 snap-on containers with lids.

Easy-Store 2 oz. Containers
This set of 6 clear containers with lids snap right into the Sliding Fridge or Freezer Tray (see next slide!) and are the perfect fit for the Easy-Prep Food Press. They can also be used on their own to transport or store food and snacks. They do it all!

Easy-Store Sliding Tray Set
For anyone who has ever lost a baby food container to the depths of a packed fridge, this one is a lifesaver. An all-in-one solution for storing fresh baby food, this slide & store tray easily clips onto your refrigerator or freezer shelf and is the perfect size for the accompanying 2-ounce containers. The set even includes a dry-erase marker (that also snaps in place onto the drawer) to conveniently label the contents of each container.

Easy-Fill Freezer Trays
Our favorite detail on these freezer trays is the removable divider that lets you pour a batch of your babe's favorite puree into this no-mess vessel, then drop in the dividers before freezing to create 6 perfectly sized portions. Sealable lids keep contents fresh and make for easy stacking. Just run the frozen containers under warm water and push up the flexible bottoms for quick and easy removal.

Easy-Feed Spoons & Easy-Grab Bowls
These soft silicon spoons are soft on baby's gums and shaped specifically for mess-free feeding—the extra long handle helps moms and dads maneuver the perfect bite, while a spatula-like end is perfect for swiping any stray food off baby's face. The smart built-in spoon rest helps keep both spoon and tabletop clean.
Meanwhile, these bowls feature a simple but smartly designed grip handle that makes holding the bowl a breeze, and helps eliminate spills (and bowl tosses)—because we know mealtime with a baby can quickly become a contact sport. The bowl comes with a transparent lid for food storage or taking meals on the go.

Formula-to-Food Containers
This cute and colorful stack packs a big punch. Each twist-and-lock lid is interchangeable, so this trio can be stacked and carried by the handle or used individually. Perfect for everything from formula powder to finger foods, these sweet little cylinders slide right into a standard bottle pocket in a diaper bag or bottle tote.

Easy-Fold Travel Spoons
We love these ingenious folding travel spoons that snap closed when not in use to keep them clean and compact. The built-in spoon rest is a lifesaver for keeping table tops mess free—and keeping the spoon germ free, especially for all those on-the-go snacks on park benches and public picnic tables!
