Best baby bowl Functions
Useful functions are necessary for baby use the bowls more convenient.
1. Suction function
Babies are active, even during mealtime. The bowl with suction function can help much. The glossy bottom can suck to the table firmly, then baby can’t move the bowls easily by itself. There are also silicone plates and placemats with suction function. So the suction function is a pretty practical design. We are happy to suggest the popular Baby silicone Suction Bowl to the lovely babies. And also the waterproof silicone bibs are useful to keep their cloth clean and dry.

How to Choose baby bowl material
The safe material is very important to protect the baby’s health. We can’s bear any harmful material that affects the baby’s health. So let’s study what bowl materials are used in the market commonly.
1. Plastic
The plastic is the most common material used in the baby dinnerware. Plastic is made of polymer compounds such as polyethylene or polypropylene. And also add some colorants, solvents or plasticizers, to make colorful bowls. This chemical substance is bad for the baby’s health.
The advantages of plastic dinner are heat resistant, difficult to drop broken, non-deformation, smooth feel, and light texture. Babies can feed by themselves. But it is difficult to clean, the oil and grease are easy to stick on the plastic.
2. Stainless steel
The durability of stainless steel bowl is better, it will anti-corroded, anti-rust naturally, won’t crack. But, the thermal conductivity of stainless steel is too good, the food temperature is easy to pass to the hand. The food will cold soon. In addition, stainless steel tableware may with heavy metal. It’s difficult to control the quality, bad quality is harmful to the baby’s health.
3. Ceramic and glass bowl
Ceramic and glass bowls are good for health. But it is too easy to break and is not suitable for babies, because falling bowls are interesting for babies. Sharp ceramic fragments may hurt the babies, so it is not good
4. Natural bowls
At present, natural bamboo or solid wood is very popular. Because there is no chemical substance incorporated, there is no toxicity, and natural materials are light, waterproof, and non-perishable. They are good choices, but they are prone to mold. We should pay attention to the disinfection treatment. Nature bamboo and wood bowls can’t resist too high-temperature and easy to crack.
5. Silicone dinnerware
The 100% food-grade silicone is safe for the baby’s health. It’s durable, easy to clean, waterproof, difficult to drop or tear broken. It is bendable, and easy to recover the shape. The silicone bowl with lid also has good thermal insulation for daily use.
