Introducing solid foods brings new requirements for plates, bowls, cups and cutlery. A silicone baby feeding set may seem straightforward at first glance: soft, lightweight and often dishwasher-safe. Even so, some product claims can lead to poor purchases in everyday use. It is not just the colour or design that matters, but the combination of material information, age suitability, dimensions and care instructions.
BPA-free is an important selection criterion, but it does not replace a complete material check. Make sure the supplier specifies the material used for all components. Cutlery, for example, may combine silicone and polypropylene (PP). With a baby feeding set, it should also be clear whether the plate, bowl, cup and cutlery are made from the same material or contain different components.
Product details such as 100% food-grade platinum silicone are more precise than a general statement such as “safe silicone”. Information about phthalates, food contact and cleaning is also helpful. A BPA-free label does not automatically cover every other material property.
A piece of tableware may be approved for microwave use or high temperatures. That does not mean the food heated in it is immediately at the right temperature for a baby. Hot spots can occur, particularly when using a microwave. Food should therefore always be stirred and checked before feeding.
A temperature range such as -40 °C to 230 °C also describes the material specification of the product in question. It is not a substitute for checking the food and is not an invitation to push every use to its limits.
Baby tableware from 6 months should suit the portion size and hand coordination of the child. A deep plate can make independent eating easier, while a cup that is too large or heavy can quickly become impractical. Check the capacity, dimensions and weight.
For use on the go, a compact baby cutlery set with a storage box may be more useful than an extensive baby plate, bowl and cup set. For daily weaning meals at home, however, a five-piece set offers greater flexibility.
For BPA-free baby tableware, the product details should clearly specify:
The product details provided describe platinum silicone as food-safe, soft, odourless and flexible. These properties can be practical for weaning, but they should always be checked against the specific product description.
Dishwasher-safe baby tableware reduces the cleaning effort. Even so, food residue should be removed promptly. Use mild cleaning products, rinse away any residue and allow the pieces to dry completely.
If microwave, freezer or steriliser use is important, suitability for each application must be stated explicitly. Not all silicone tableware is automatically approved for all four uses. Also bear in mind that sharp metal objects can damage the surface.
For baby tableware for independent eating, short, easy-to-grip handles and rounded cutlery tips are practical features. A lightly textured handle can give small hands extra purchase. With bowls and plates, a stable base, a sufficiently high rim and an easily accessible interior shape are important.
Examples from the product details:

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Before first use, the tableware should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions. For every meal:
Changing the material or replacing the item is advisable as soon as signs of wear make cleaning more difficult or components are damaged. It is not possible to specify a general lifespan, as this depends on use, cleaning and storage.
According to the product details, many of the products mentioned here are intended for babies from 6 months. However, the age recommendation for the specific item and the child's individual development are the deciding factors. Use should always be supervised.
Only if the manufacturer explicitly states that it is microwave-safe. After heating, food should be stirred and checked to ensure it is at a suitable temperature. For lids or sealed containers, the relevant usage instructions must also be followed.
This depends on frequency of use, dishwasher cycles, exposure to temperature and handling. Check the material regularly. If there are cracks, discolouration, a sticky surface or damaged connections, the affected piece should be replaced.
