The bowl for weaning is more than ”an extra dish to wash”. The baby bowl is an extremely useful accessory. Why? Here are 7 reasons why a special baby bowl will help both you and your baby during the weaning period. Read also ” 7 reasons to use a baby plate when starting weaning ”.
Reason 1. It doesn’t break
A baby’s bowl will inevitably be subject to drops, knocks and throws. Obviously, you don’t want the bowl to break. A special bowl for babies is made of shock-resistant materials. You can find plastic, silicone or, if you want something really interesting, bamboo bowls on the market. However, we suggest you avoid plastic. You will also put hot food (soups, soups) in the bowl and the plastic becomes toxic when exposed to high temperatures. Better choose a silicone bowl. It’s about the same price as a plastic bowl, but without the health risks and negative environmental impact.
Reason 2. Right size for the right portions
Baby portions are small, smaller than you might think. A bowl for weaning has small dimensions, precisely to remind parents that ”less is more” when it comes to baby portions. The bowl for complementary food should be a third full, maximum half at a meal.
Reason 3. It is attached to the table
A baby bowl isn’t really ”for babies” if it doesn’t have an effective suction cup to secure the bowl to the table. Mealtime, especially if you opted for baby-led weaning, is an adventure with a lot of food on the floor, on the table, on clothes, on the walls. The suction cup prevents the bowl from being pushed or lifted from the table. So less mess, less stress.
Tip The suction cup of a complementary food bowl also has a mark to pull when you want to detach the bowl. That mark must be on the opposite side of the child, otherwise, the little one will quickly catch that by pulling on the mark, he can detach the bowl. To keep mealtime even cleaner, we suggest you also use a pocket bib for babies. You can read HERE about the most practical bibs for babies.

Reason 4. Fits and attaches to any table chair
A changing bowl, with or without a suction cup, is designed to fit perfectly on the tray of any baby highchair. In addition, the suction cup of the bowl attaches perfectly to all the materials from which the baby tables are made.
Reason 5. Helps practice dexterity
It is important for babies to practice handling small objects and hand-eye coordination as early as possible. The little ones will have to grab the food either directly with their hands or using baby cutlery. This is where the bowl comes in handy again. The raised edge of the bowl, in combination with a light cutlery (generally you will also receive a spoon with the bowl), will help the baby to practice his ”talents” in grasping, holding, and ”transporting” the food to the mouth.
Reason 6. Mealtime will be more fun
Most children’s bowls have special designs or interesting colors, or both. Such a bowl will turn mealtime into an expected and fun event for the baby. If he likes animals you can choose a Panda, Bunny, Frog, Kitten bowl, there are many variations. You can find the same interesting patterns for plates.
Tip Try to see every meal with your baby as a chance for learning and fun together. A little mental preparation before each meal helped me a lot. I took a deep breath, I didn’t set any goals, I told myself that it would be dirty, I told myself that I would be patient and that I wanted to have fun with my child.
Reason 7. The price is affordable and the advantages are many
Let’s take the example of a premium food grade silicone bowl. The bowl can be used in the microwave oven, in the classic oven, it can stay in the fridge or freezer, it can be washed in the dishwasher. It has a suction cup and a spoon included. It does not contain plastic and is very light.
