Plates for baby food

14 Best Baby Plates and Bowls

If baby has just started sampling solids, they’re probably not a food connoisseur just yet—but that doesn’t mean they still don’t have taste. Sometimes getting your little one to start loving mealtime is as simple as organizing their fare on a festive baby plate or in a fun shaped baby bowl. They’ll feel like they finally have a place at the table (literally), and they’ll be more excited to dig into what you’re putting down. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of playful plateware on the market today. From sectioned plates that let your kiddo explore different colors, shapes and textures to bowls with suction bases that can stand up to your willful little eater (if and when they start flinging purees and finger foods), these are the baby dinner sets you’ll want to stock up on.

What to Look for in Baby Plates and Bowls

At this age, baby’s standards are almost non-existent, but they will show preferences for certain colors over others, and might even ask for a particular baby plate or bowl at snack or mealtime (their froggy plate, their smiley-sun bowl or the set with the spoons that have eyes!) because it just makes what they’re noshing on more fun and even yummier.

As the parent, though, your dinnerware wish list is probably more motivated by what the baby plates and bowls are made of, how easy they are to clean and keep in one piece, if they can promise less of a mess at mealtimes and what kinds of extras they might come with. It’s the little things that prove to be the most important sometimes, like travel-ready lids for eating on the go or easy-grip handles that let you feed your finicky toddler one-handed. Keep the following considerations in mind:

Material and durability. When it comes to baby plates and bowls, there are a number of material options to choose from: silicone, plastic (certified non-toxic BPA- and phthalate-free plastic, that is), eco-friendly bamboo and even stainless steel. Silicone and plastic are your best bets when durability and longevity are a concern, but bamboo also has great endurance and is naturally antimicrobial. Stainless steel is certainly durable and has a cool look to it, but it’s better suited for older toddlers who have more experience eating and are no longer (or less frequently) tossing their plates, bowls and utensils with reckless abandon.
Suction features. If baby gets a kick out of dumping their food onto the floor, try to scout out baby suction plates and baby suction bowls that will stick to the high chair or table. Knowing that your mess-prone omnivore has their purees, cereals, yogurts or first finger foods in a container that stays put might help you fret a little less.
Easy cleanup. For the most part, baby plates and bowls can safely go in the dishwasher post-dining. You’ll still want to cross-reference the manufacturer’s washing instructions, though, to ensure you’re not putting baby’s tableware through more than it can handle. It also depends on the material; bamboo dishes should always be hand-washed, since the protective glosses and varnishes that cover bamboo pieces can be compromised in a wash cycle, leaving them dry, cracked and porous—and you won’t want baby eating from a plate or bowl that’s harboring bacteria.
Fun factor. Adorable animal-shaped plates and bowls and pastel-colored baby dinner sets that can bring smiles to even the grumpiest little ones. After all, the best baby dishes are the ones they will consistently reach for to eat both their favorite and not-so-favorite foods. If baby’s green froggy plate will get them to eat one or two broccoli florets (instead of throwing them on the floor), then you’ll want to keep it around!

How to choose dishes for complementary foods

Kizino Polina Aleksandrovna

pediatrician, perinatal psychologist

Beautiful bright dishes for the first feeding - a whim of the parents or should the child have their own special spoon and plate? Do dishes really increase appetite and arouse interest in new foods in babies? And what about safety if small children strive to play with food, turn everything over or throw it on the floor? Pediatrician Polina Alexandrovna Kizino has her own experience in choosing the first children's dishes. How much this is a necessary and difficult task for parents, read below.

— Polina Alexandrovna, is it necessary to purchase separate dishes for feeding babies?

- Baby needs his own dishes - this is a factor that pushes him to eat at the table, and not just drink milk or formula in his mother's arms. It also eliminates contact with foreign microbes and reduces the risk of catching intestinal and other infections that are transmitted orally.

— Does baby utensils help establish weaning?

- It makes eating more interesting. Mom does not resort to games, does not distract the child, does not fix attention on a process other than eating, but at the same time, the meal for the baby becomes brighter and more attractive, which inclines him to eat from a plate and from a spoon.

Main types of children's tableware

Cutlery

Food tableware

Drinking tableware

— Thermal spoons, thermal plates change color if you put very hot food in them. There is no urgent need for such devices, because you can always independently check the temperature of the dish. But on the other hand, such additional informational assistance may be appropriate and will warn mother and baby against dangerous food.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR CHILDREN'S TABLEWARE

— Can tableware cause allergies?

— Such situations are rare. Now manufacturers are trying to make dishes from permitted materials. But there are people with allergies even to plastic, dyes. Here, the reason for the reaction of the body will not be in low-quality materials, but in individual characteristics.

It is difficult to suspect an allergy to dish materials. And, unfortunately, there is no separate marker - an allergy to a component in the dishes will manifest itself in the same way as a food allergy. The only thing that can be done is to compare the fact of feeding and the appearance of allergic symptoms. For example, they bought a new plate and did not give new products, and the child developed an allergic reaction (rash, stool thinning) - in this case, one can assume a reaction, including to the materials from which the dishes are made.

Does watching cartoons or playing at the table affect the baby's proper nutrition and eating habits?

— How to choose baby food utensils?

— The choice of children's utensils for babies depends on the convenience of the parents and their capabilities. The feeding bowl should match the portions, because it makes no sense to spread five spoons of mashed potatoes on a large plate. It is desirable that the volume of food does not embarrass or frighten the baby. It is better to put small portions in small plates, focus on the child, how he eats, in what quantity.

Requirements for children's dishes

HOW TO CARE FOR CHILDREN'S DISHES

— How to wash children's dishes?

— When caring for children's dishes, it is important to choose products that are approved for use on babies. Aggressive household chemicals are not needed: there is a risk of not washing off the substances to the end, which can adversely affect children. Therefore, it is better to choose the most gentle cleaning products for washing dishes, toys, vegetables, fruits.

— Can children's dishes be washed in a dishwasher?

- Dishwasher compatible with labeled dishes. And here you also need to follow the choice of detergent. The same with heating in the microwave - information about whether the dishes are suitable for this is written on its packaging.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that if the child has not finished his meal, it is better not to put the leftovers in the refrigerator. Here everything is the same as with the mixture in bottles: if there was contact with saliva and microbes - a spoon into a plate, then into the mouth, then back into the plate - then food remains are not stored.

If possible, it is better not to refuse children's dishes. It will diversify the process of eating for your child. A spoon, a plate, a bowl of bright colors and a convenient shape will arouse children's interest, the desire to try something new, and feeding an interesting and tasty discovery.

* Breast milk is the best food for babies. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of a child's life and continued breastfeeding after complementary foods are introduced until the age of 2 years. Before introducing new products into the baby's diet, you should consult with a specialist. The material is for informational purposes and cannot replace the advice of a healthcare professional. For feeding children from birth.
