8 Bamboo baby plates your weaning tot will love

Cute as a button, this little panda bamboo plate is just adorable. You can (if you have the time) arrange your little one's food to make it look even more like a panda's face.

Pros:
Includes a plate and a spoon
Cons:
Some parents had issues with the suction pad after a few months

Review: "Bought for our new granddaughter as an early Christmas present along with many other items. We are collecting for her this first Christmas. It's a beautiful item with matching soon well designed and made."

The unicorn trend is here to stay and your unicorn-obsessed tot will love this fun plate. Plus, we're more than happy to have this weaning crockery out on the sideboard and not hidden away in the cupboard with the rest of the plastic stuff.

Pros:
Perfect for any unicorn-obsessed bubbas

Cons:
Would be nice if some form of cutlery was included

Review: "I absolutely love love love all these plates, they're not only so cute but the sections make room for a different variety of foods for your little one to choose from, my little girl absolutely loves them every time I get a plate out she dances because she knows it's food time lol.. and the suction is amazing as when she is finished she can't throw or pick up the plate and end up dropping whatevers left!! We have a whole drawer full, they are so worth every penny ❤."

Suction is an important part of weaning bowls - it keeps things in place when your baby would rather throw everything around the room. This bamboo bowl comes with a cute matching spoon, too.

Pros:
Comes in six different colours

Cons:
Some parents found it to be fragile

Review: "This is a beautiful product and well deserving of its design awards. I bought it out of desperation after trying several bowls with really poor suction. My 11 month-old grandson would simply pull them off and food would go everywhere. The suction on this is brilliant, and I love the deep shape which allows him to easily scoop food out. The spoon looks big but is surprisingly manageable for small hands. I ended up buying a second one so that he could have one in his own home as well. It might seem a bit on the pricey side, but worth every penny. I wish I'd spotted it before wasting money on other, cheaper but rubbish products."

This natural bamboo plate is sure to be a hit with puppy-loving tots. It is perfect for little hands and has sections for different food types.

Pros:
Heat-resistant and freezer safe

Cons:
Hand wash and dry only

Review: "This is a gorgeous item. I’m so excited for my little boy to start weaning so we can use it. It’s incredibly sturdy too, you know if it gets dropped it’ll be fine! Great item, and good price too."

We love this set that includes a bowl, plate and two spoons. They're all made from natural, hypoallergenic bamboo and food-grade silicone so it's free from BPA, phthalates and other toxins.

Pros:
Both the bowl and plate have a non-slip base to stop them from sliding around

Cons:
One reviewer mentioned they thought they might be too big if you baby is just starting on their weaning journey

Review: "Bought this for my 18month old as I was after a plate with different sections. It was an added bonus that I found one with suction, we have the antilop high chair and they stick really well to it. I love the spoons, they're a great size for him now he's independent I would say they are too big if you are just starting to wean but don't be put off by that as it won't be long until they'll be able to use them anyway."

Offering a creative way of separating food, this plate features three sections that make up the shape of a teddy bear. Not only will it make mealtimes fun, it means little mess is made too.

Pros:
Includes a bowl and a spoon

Cons:
Some reviewers thought the suction could be stronger

Review: "This teddy plate, bowl and spoon set is good. It is easy to use and works. The design is nice and the spoon is soft and bendy. It also has a suction cup at the bottom so it can not move. It is easy to clean."

A roar-some choice if your little one is mad for all things dinosaurs. It features a partition to accommodate a variety of foods and raised edges to prevent spillage.

Pros:
Made of 100 per cent organic bamboo material

Cons:
Could have more than two sections included

Review: "This weaning set is just perfect. It washes really well. The spoon can be easily gripped and the plate suctions really well onto the high chair. I love the cute designs available too and a variety of different colours. I like that the plate is sectioned too."

Prevent spills and messes thanks to the powerful suction base that will withstand accidental knocks and the deep sections for easy scooping. All the items are made with two bamboo layers so that they're long lasting.

Pros:
Made for serving different food groups 

Cons:
Some reviews mention the suction base is hard to get off when you need to wash it

Review: "This is the perfect set, we’ve had it over a year now and it still suctions well and nothing has broken. They’re easy to clean."

Now we know that these aren't plates, but what do you need to match your new bamboo plates and bowls? Cute spoons, of course! The silicone heads can be removed for cleaning (hand-wash only).

Pros:
Five in a pack

Cons:
Would be nice if a bowl or plate were included to have a full weaning set

Review: "We love our Bamboo Bamboo spoons! We're doing baby led weaning since our baby turned 6 months old and these spoons are perfect for it! They're a great size and shape for our baby to hold, and he's able to feed himself with ease using them."
