Written by: Iris Lucia | Last update: 16 February 2022
Dinnerware is something you use every day or will use in your baby’s life. Of course, you want anything your baby puts in their mouth to be safe. Unfortunately, many unsafe dinnerware are still sold. So always pay attention to the labels of the product. And if you can’t find a brand or the ingredients of the product, this is often not a good sign!

What types of dinnerware for babies are there?
There are different types of materials that you can choose from when it comes to baby tableware. The safest, strong and environmentally friendly types of tableware are made of silicone, stainless steel or 100% bamboo.
Bamboo baby dinnerware
Silicone Dinnerware for Babies
After some extensive research I have come to the conclusion that I think silicone tableware is the most ideal material for baby’s. It’s safe, easy to use and nice looking. I have been using it myself for a while now and would like to share its benefits with you.
Advantages of silicone tableware
- The main advantage is that silicone tableware of good quality is made of non-toxic materials. Silicone tableware does not contain BPA, PVC, plasticisers or other harmful/toxic substances
- It is gentle on the baby’s teeth. Handy for when new teeth come through!
- It is easy to clean. Just rinsing with water works wonders
- It’s not breakable
- It’s colorful. There are countless fun colors and shapes of silicone plates, cutlery and cups on the market
- It lasts a long time

Stainless steel dinnerware for babies
Stainless steel is an unbreakable material, so it is useful for babies. Stainless steel is free from harmful and hormone disrupting substances. There are nice shapes of plates for sale made of stainless steel. Please note, stainless steel is a hard and heavy material. I would not recommend buying stainless steel cutlery for your baby in the beginning. This can be quite hard and painful for your baby’s mouth. So only use this type of dinnerware when your baby is ready for it.

Why no bamboo dinnerware?
Bamboo cutlery has been marketed as one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable products in recent years. You see a lot of baby tableware made of bamboo. From spoons to plates and cups. Yet bamboo is not as safe as you might have thought. Most bamboo tableware is made of melanin plastic with only a small percentage of corn or bamboo fibers added. When melamine plastic is added with corn/bamboo fibres, a substance called formaldehyde is released at warm temperatures. This is a harmful substance which can lead to irritation of the respiratory tract, stomach ulcers, contact allergies, etc… So no bamboo tableware for me!
Alternatives
In addition to silicone dinnerware, there is also dinnerware made of 100% bamboo. Make sure you check with the brand what the ingredients are in the tableware. Check whether there is no melamine in the tableware. If you have found a good brand that sells 100% bamboo tableware, it is good to know that you can often not put these products in the dishwasher. For me, this is the turn-off of bamboo tableware. There is also dinnerware that is only made of Melamine. I again strongly advise to stay away from Melamine because of the serious safety hazards.
