Soft Silicone Baby Feeding Plate | BPA-Free Suction Tableware for Infants

The strong suction base is designed to prevent spills and mess during feeding by adhering securely to smooth, flat surfaces like high chair trays, tables, and countertops. For the best suction, make sure the surface is clean, dry, and non-porous before pressing the plate down firmly. While the suction is strong, determined babies (especially older, stronger toddlers) may still be able to pull it off with enough force, particularly if they grab from the edges. The suction works most effectively on smooth surfaces - it may not stick as well to textured, wooden, or uneven surfaces. Overall, it significantly reduces accidental spills and flips compared to regular plates, making mealtime much less messy, though no suction plate is completely baby-proof against a very determined little one!

Yes, this plate is made from 100% food-grade silicone, which is microwave and oven safe. Food-grade silicone typically withstands temperatures ranging from -40°F to 446°F (-40°C to 230°C), making it safe for reheating food in the microwave or warming in the oven. However, there's an important consideration: when microwaving, you should remove or release the suction base first. The strong suction can create a seal that traps steam and pressure underneath the plate during heating, which could cause the plate to pop off suddenly or make it difficult to remove safely. Always ensure the suction is released before heating, and use oven mitts or a towel when removing the plate as it will be hot. For everyday use, the microwave-safe feature is great for warming up baby food directly in the plate.

This feeding plate has 3 compartments with a deep design that keeps foods separated and organized. The deep sections are specifically designed to hold various food portions securely, making them practical for real meals rather than just small snacks. At 19 cm in diameter with deep compartments, the plate can accommodate a good amount of food for your baby - whether you're serving purees, finger foods, or a combination of proteins, vegetables, and fruits. The depth also helps prevent food from spilling over between sections and makes it easier for babies learning to self-feed to scoop food without it sliding off the plate.

Silicone is generally dishwasher-safe and can go on either rack, unlike plastic items that should stay on the top rack. However, placing it on the top rack is still recommended to avoid direct exposure to the heating element and to prevent it from getting knocked around by water pressure. The suction base won't be damaged by the dishwasher, but make sure it's completely dry before using the suction feature again—any moisture or residue can prevent it from sticking properly. Hand washing is also quick and easy with silicone since food doesn't stick as much as it does to plastic.

This plate is perfect for your 6-month-old! It's suitable for babies 4 months and older, so you can absolutely start using it now as your baby begins their solid food journey. The soft, flexible silicone texture is gentle on your baby's gums and hands, which is ideal for little ones who are just learning to explore food and may grab at the plate or put the edges in their mouth. The deep compartments help keep different purees and soft foods separated, and the strong suction base is especially helpful during this learning phase when babies tend to swipe at everything on their tray. As your baby grows and develops their self-feeding skills, this same plate will continue to work well for finger foods and more textured meals.
