Find the right plate for baby meals

Before you embark on BLW 's great adventure with baby, it is interesting to learn about the different essential equipment for everything to go well. With so many choices available commercially, it can be difficult to know which plate to choose for baby. We will give you all our advice to find the best!

The start of the BLW without a plate

At the start of food diversification, the different foods and homemade recipes will be offered on the baby's chair tablet . This new food adventure asks baby a lot of concentration and efforts, so you have to go to the point by simply offering food. No need to distract it with cutlery or a plate. These are solicitations for him, and baby will no longer focus on the most important: food. It is only around the age of 12 months , that you can use baby food

The good baby plate

There are so many different shapes, colors and materials for baby plates that you can easily get lost. Do not panic, the perfect plate for a small piece should meet three criteria .

First, the baby's plate should be in neutral in color . Plates are avoided with patterns or other. Indeed, baby does not have the same 3D vision as adults and he may confuse the reasons present inside the plate with food. Baby will then try to catch the patterns of the plate in vain.

Then, a plate with compartments will be ideal. You will be able to offer foods separately on the baby's plate. Your little end will thus easily catch food thanks to the many edges present on the plate.

Finally, the material of the baby's plate is to be chosen with care. Orient yourself towards BPA-free silicone plates that are robust and last in time. You can also choose the bamboo plates with original design.

You can also choose plates with a suction cup below so that it is well attached to the baby's chair tablet and that it does not end up on the ground.
