Bumkins Toddler and Baby Suction Plate, Divided Dish for Babies and Kids

The Bumkins Silicone Grip Dish is a perfect choice for little ones who are learning to self-feed. This divided plate is designed specifically for baby and toddler portions, ensuring a convenient mealtime experience. The strong suction base guarantees that the dish stays firmly in place, even with the most active toddler.

To enhance the suction and prevent the dish from sliding, it is recommended to lightly dampen the bottom of the suction with a small amount of water. This simple step helps the dish remain securely in place on highchair trays or tables.

The straight side of the dish allows children to sit up close to the plate, minimizing the potential for mess. The silicone material can withstand a wide range of temperatures, seamlessly transitioning from the refrigerator or freezer to the oven or microwave for warming.

Crafted with 100-percent food-safe platinum silicone, the Bumkins Silicone Grip Dish is oven-safe up to 400F/204C and dishwasher-safe, making it a hassle-free and durable option for parents. Suitable for ages 6 months and up, the dish measures approximately 8 inches across, 7 inches tall, and 1 inch deep.

Bumkins, a company with over 30 years of experience in creating thoughtful essentials for babies and kids, is committed to ensuring their products comply with CPSC and CPSIA standards for BPA, Lead, and Phthalates. The Silicone Grip Dish is designed in Arizona and responsibly manufactured in China.

Understanding the concept of Baby-Led-Weaning (BLW) is crucial when introducing the Silicone Grip Dish. BLW is the process of adding complementary foods to a baby's diet of breastmilk or formula, allowing the child to lead the way with your guidance. Experts suggest that babies who start solids at an early age may develop a more sophisticated palate and be more likely to consume a wider variety of healthy foods as they grow older.

To determine if your baby is ready for BLW, consider the following: Is your baby almost six months old? Can they sit up on their own and grab and hold onto objects? If so, it might be time to discuss BLW with your pediatrician. BLW-friendly foods are soft and gentle on a baby's gums, and should be mashed or cut into small, easy-to-swallow pieces for safe eating. As your baby learns to self-feed, they will have the opportunity to freely explore the foods and dishware you provide.

The Bumkins Silicone Grip Dish is an essential tool for self-feeding, with its suction base ensuring the plate stays in place and its straight side allowing for less mess. Its versatility in handling a wide range of temperatures and its easy-to-clean design make it a convenient and reliable choice for mealtime.
