bamboo bamboo ® Baby and Toddler Suction Bowl Set for Feeding and Weaning | Outstanding Suction | Bamboo Baby Suction Bowls with Matching Spoon Set from 6 Months

Product Information

Non-slip and suction bowls can help to reduce mess, while some families prefer mat-style plates. You also need to consider the type of material your baby bowl and plate are made from - something solid that won’t break easily is a must - where you’re going to use them (at home or out and about) and what you’re going to use them for – are they for purées or for BLW portions? Since bamboo is made from natural fibres, it is not suitable for use in the oven, microwave or dishwasher. To top it off, it’s very affordable too. No wonder it's been awarded Mumsnet's Best Budget Highchair after rigorous testing by parents. Material: BPA-free silicone | Size: ‎Blue bowl - 12cm W x 12cm D x 6cm H. Green bowl - 11cm W x 11cm D x 5.5cm H. Purple bowl - 10cm W x 10cm D x 5cm H | Dishwasher safe: Yes | Microwave safe: Yes What we love

Some cheaper bamboo products are made from fibres that are then glued together with melamine. Watch out for these as, while the FDA says it’s safe, they caution not using melamine in the microwave or with food hotter than 160 degrees. Also avoid serving highly acidic foods as it increases the chance of the material migrating or transferring into baby food. Are silicone baby plates safe? PRO TIP: To best preserve and prolong the life of your Bamboo Tableware, we recommend washing by hand. Once a month, wipe down with coconut oil or beeswax to keep the bamboo supple and strong.

What other features you need – if you’re out and about, then look for mats that can fold or bowls with lids so you can take food with you (and home again if it doesn’t get eaten). If your baby likes to use a spoon themselves, then bowls with slightly angled edges can make scooping easier for them. If you plan to use a microwave to reheat food, make sure the bowls and plates are microwave safe.Material: BPA-free silicone | Size: ‎19cm diameter | Dishwasher safe: Yes, up to 70°C | Microwave safe: Yes, if the food is below 100°C What we love We always want to make sure we find products that can withstand family life so we start by looking for recommendations from our trusted Mumsnet users.

There is no set time for this as it will depend on how you feed your baby, what foods they eat and what your child is like at mealtimes. Some children will eat nicely off a plate, others will throw the plate and all its contents on the floor - in which case, it’s probably best to just put it straight onto the highchair tray. As your child gets older, you can introduce plates - maybe starting with a suction base - to get them used to it. What are the best baby bowls and plates?
