Since the birth of the baby, parents have been busy with their little ones' daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, all without worrying about everything. Even though parents have been careful, accidents often happen when babies eat meals because they don't have the right baby feeding set. Material is the most critical factor in choosing baby tableware wholesale. Baby meals are available in a variety of materials, plastic, stainless steel, silicone, glass, bamboo and wood........ Safe materials allow parents to rest assured to use for their babies.Highly recommend silicone baby feeding sets!

 

1.Silicone tableware 

Advantages: Silicone is not plastic, but rubber. It can withstand high temperatures above 250 degrees, is resistant to falling, waterproof, non-stick, and is not easy to chemically react with external substances. Now many baby products are made of silicone, such as pacifiers, baby pacifiers, etc. Spoons, placemats, bibs, etc. The silicone is very soft and will not harm the delicate skin of the baby.

Silicone can be used in microwave ovens and dishwashers, but cannot be directly set on fire.

Silicone is easy to clean.

Disadvantages: It is easy to absorb other odors and the taste is strong and not easy to disperse.

High-quality silicone tableware can be safely used by children.

Be sure to choose 100% food-grade silicone tableware. Good silicone products will not change color when twisted. If there are white marks, it means that the silicone is not pure and filled with other materials. Do not buy it.

 

2.  Plastic tableware 

Advantages: good-looking, anti-drop

Disadvantages: easy to precipitate toxic substances, not resistant to high temperature, easy to adhere to grease, difficult to clean, easy to form edges and corners after friction, bisphenol A

Note: some solvents, plasticizers and colorants, such as bisphenol A (PC material), will be added to plastic tableware during processing. This substance has been identified as a toxic environmental hormone that disrupts normal hormone levels, alters genes, and disrupts normal physical and behavioral development. Parents can try to avoid using PC tableware. Don't choose plastic tableware with messy colors, it is better to choose colorless, transparent or plain color. When choosing plastic tableware, be careful not to choose the ones with patterns on the inside. When buying, be careful to smell for any strange smells. Do not use plastic utensils for hot food and too oily food, it is recommended to use only rice. If you find that the plastic tableware is scratched or has a matte surface, you should stop using it immediately.

 

3. Ceramic and glass tableware

Advantages: environmental protection and safety. The texture is firm, very safe, and easy to clean.

Cons: Fragile

Beware: Glass and ceramic cutlery are fragile and should not be used by your baby alone. It is best to buy ceramic tableware with solid color without pattern and smooth surface. If you must buy a patterned one, you should pay attention to buying the "underglaze color", that is, the one with a smooth surface and no sense of pattern is the top grade.

 

4. Bamboo tableware

Advantages: good thermal insulation performance, natural, not afraid of falling

Disadvantages: difficult to clean, easy to breed bacteria, toxic paint

Note: Bamboo and wood tableware is the safest with less processing, and it is best to use naturally made tableware. Since the paint contains a lot of lead, do not choose a variety with a brighter surface and paint.

 

5. Stainless steel tableware

Advantages: not easy to breed bacteria, easy to clean, not afraid of falling

Disadvantages: fast heat conduction, easy to burn, easy to buy substandard products. Not in the microwave.

Note: Stainless steel tableware is caused by heavy metals. Unqualified heavy metal content will endanger health. If you store hot soup or acidic food for a long time, it will easily dissolve heavy metals. It is best to use it only for drinking water. Be sure to choose food grade stainless steel. The grade reaches 304 and has passed the national GB9648 certification, which is food-grade stainless steel.

 

Tableware cleaning

In addition to choosing safe materials, easy-to-clean materials are also important. 
We need to pay attention to cleaning baby tableware:

Timely cleaning

Baby tableware should be disinfected and cleaned regularly, and should be cleaned immediately after each use. Silicone cutlery only needs to be washed with soap and water. Use nylon cleaning brushes for glass tableware, and sponge cleaning brushes for plastic tableware, because nylon brushes are easy to grind the inner wall of plastic tableware, which is more likely to accumulate dirt.

Disinfection is more important

In order to prevent diseases from entering the mouth, it is not enough to simply wash the baby tableware and so on, but also to disinfect. There are many types of disinfection, but a durable and effective method is boiling, which uses steam to kill viruses and bacteria. Traditional boiling, to watch the fire and control the boiling time, tableware sterilization generally lasts for 20 minutes.

Prevent secondary pollution

Disinfected tableware should be properly stored, and should not be wiped with a rag to prevent secondary pollution. The best way is to let the sterilized tableware air dry naturally, and then put it in a clean, dry and airtight container until you need it.
