Food-Grade Silicone Baby Feeding Set for Toddlers, BPA-Free

Product Overview

A food-grade silicone feeding set made for the stage where a baby stops being fed and starts feeding themselves. Silicone is the right material for it: soft enough not to hurt gums and new teeth, light enough for a small hand to lift, and it does not shatter when it hits the floor — which it will.

The set is BPA-free, and the pieces are shaped and weighted for little hands rather than being scaled-down adult cutlery.

Why Silicone for This Stage

• Soft on gums. A metal spoon on a teething gum ends the meal. Silicone does not.
• Unbreakable in practice. Dropped repeatedly, it survives; ceramic and glass do not.
• Grippy. Silicone bases hold onto a table far better than plastic, which cuts down the number of bowls that end up on the floor.
• Easy to clean and heat tolerant. Food-grade silicone takes boiling water and most dishwashers.
• No BPA. The set is stated BPA-free.

Care and Cleaning

1. Wash it before first use.
2. Wash in warm soapy water after every meal, or put it in the dishwasher if you have one.
3. For a young baby, sterilise by boiling for a few minutes or with a steam steriliser. Food-grade silicone handles both.
4. Dry it fully before storing — trapped water under a suction base grows mould.
5. Check it regularly for tears, cuts or bite damage and replace any piece that is damaged. A torn piece can break off.

Using It Safely

• Never leave a baby alone while eating, whatever they are eating from.
• Keep the child sitting fully upright.
• Do not use a damaged or split piece — replace it.
• Silicone is heat tolerant but food is not: check the temperature of the food itself, not the bowl.

Frequently Asked Questions

From what age can it be used?

From the point at which your baby starts solid food, around six months, with you doing the feeding — and it comes into its own from about eight or nine months when they try to hold the spoon themselves.

Can it go in the microwave?

Food-grade silicone generally tolerates it, but check the instructions that come with the set. Whatever the bowl allows, stir the food and test its temperature before serving.

How long does a set last?

Until it is chewed, cut or torn. Check the pieces every few weeks and replace any that are damaged rather than trimming them.
