Why Silicone Is the Best Material for Baby Tableware
When it comes to choosing the best tableware for your baby, the options can be overwhelming. Plastic, wood, bamboo, silicone—which is the right choice? At Little Sprouts Co., we’re firm believers in silicone, and here’s why this material is the ultimate choice for your little one’s mealtime essentials.
1. Safe for Little Ones
Silicone is made from food-grade materials that are completely non-toxic, BPA-free, and free from harmful chemicals like phthalates. Unlike some plastics, it doesn’t leach harmful substances when exposed to heat, making it safe for hot and cold foods alike.
Take our 2-in-1 Silicone Sippy Cup, for example. Made with 100% food-grade silicone, it’s safe, soft, and perfect for transitioning from bottle to cup.
2. Durable and Long-Lasting
Babies are natural explorers—and that includes tossing their plates, bowls, and cups onto the floor! Silicone is incredibly durable and can withstand the inevitable drops, throws, and bumps of mealtime.
Our 5-Piece Baby & Toddler Dinnerware Set is designed to last through every stage of your baby’s mealtime journey. With a sippy cup, bear-shaped plate, bowl, and utensils, it’s both durable and adorable!
3. Easy to Clean (and Dishwasher-Safe!)
We know how messy mealtimes can be. One of the greatest benefits of silicone is how easy it is to clean. Whether it’s a quick wipe-down with a cloth or a thorough wash in the dishwasher, silicone makes cleanup a breeze.
4. Heat-Resistant and Versatile
Silicone can handle a wide range of temperatures, from the freezer to the microwave to boiling water for sterilisation. This makes it perfect for reheating baby food, storing leftovers, or even freezing purees.
5. Lightweight and Travel-Friendly
Unlike heavy glass or metal alternatives, silicone is lightweight and easy to pack. Whether you’re at home or on the go, silicone tableware is a practical choice for busy parents who need functional, portable baby gear.
For families on the move, our 2-in-1 Silicone Sippy Cup is compact and spill-proof, making it the perfect travel companion.
6. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
For parents looking to make environmentally conscious choices, silicone is a sustainable option. It’s reusable, long-lasting, and reduces the need for single-use plastic tableware. When you invest in silicone, you’re choosing a material that supports a more eco-friendly future.
