How to Choose the Best Foodware for Your Baby

4

Getting to grips with feeding is vital for new parents, and considering how many times a day babies and children need to eat, you want to invest in the right foodware. As a parent, you have tons on your plate, so if you’re feeling overwhelmed with the amount of choice in children’s foodware, here are some things to look out for! 

Keeping Mess to a Minimum

The most important thing to consider is how to avoid accidents! Foodware should make your life easier, minimizing mess and preventing drips and spills. For bibs, opt for food catchers to make the clean-up much easier.

When your child is old enough to move onto sip cups, be sure to check they have a secure closing. Check reviews to ensure sippy cups have leak-proof lids to avoid spillages. Snack cups with a lid are ideal when your child starts to feed themselves, giving them independence but keeping food items enclosed. 

Consider the Texture

Lightweight foodware is preferable, so your child can’t hurt themselves on it. When their arms are flailing with a cup in their hand, you want to ensure they won’t cause any injuries. Similarly, bashing their lips or gums on a hard plastic mouthpiece can cause pain and discomfort. 

Silicone is often preferable to plastic because it is especially soft, which should definitely be a priority when buying cups and bottles for your baby. The same applies to cutlery — opt for rounded edges and flexible handles. 

Every Parent’s Dream — Easy Clean! 

Of course, being easy-clean safe is one of the most desirable qualities in foodware. There are often nooks and crannies that are difficult to clean properly, so look for simpler designs that you will feel confident are thoroughly cleaned. 

Dishwasher-safe products are especially popular for new parents. For something that will be washed over and over again, you want to make sure it won’t perish. Replacing products can be expensive and inconvenient.

Fabric bibs are popular because of their softness but consider that they will need washing frequently. A wipe-clean bib can be a better option to save on a mountain of laundry! 

Indestructible 

You need your tableware to be durable, not just for cleaning but in your baby’s hands. Cutlery, snack cups and bottles may get flung around the room, so make sure they won’t be spoiled within a few weeks of use. If you find something that both you and baby love, it’s a good idea to stock up on a few. 

Take Your Cues from Your Little One

As a parent, the best thing you can do is to take your cues from your little one. There may be some trial and error but take this as an opportunity to see what your child responds best to. You’ll soon get an idea of their preferences, whether size and shape or color. With a little patience, you’ll find their firm favorites!
