There are plenty of excellent brands of baby feeding kit to choose from – a lot of them held on the UK based children’s life style site kidsen. Companies like Rice and Barbapapa all have ranges of melamine bowls and plates – not to mention the odd children’s cutlery set. They’re all designed to be fun, colourful and interesting – and extremely difficult to break.
Breakage, of course, can be a major problem at baby’s feeding time. The first casualties of tantrums are usually the containers the food came in – which means, like it or not, that those containers are going to end up on the floor or chucked against a wall. Baby feeding bowls are generally made of melamine – an extremely strong plastic that holds bright colours indefinitely and absolutely won’t break when it gets hurled out of the high chair.
Melamine bowls, because they’re made of melamine, are also easy to clean – another baby feeding time problem solved. Kids are apt to get as much of the food on their plate all over everything and not actually in their mouths – which means a lot of it simply gets smeared around the bowl and left. Melamine can be cleaned repeatedly at the high temperatures needed to sterilise children’s eating kit, without the bright patterns or colours used on it fading at all. It doesn’t pick up scourer or dishwasher scratch marks very easily either.
Children’s cutlery sets are a great way to get around the typical “turn the head away” part of child feeding. Children’s cutlery, like the fantastically bright knives, forks and spoons offered by Barbapapa, are fascinating to young eyes and one can often trick a child into eating by using them. Bright cartoon animals and attractive colours make the piece of cutlery irresistible to inquiring minds – by the time those minds realise the bright object being waved at them is also being used to feed them, it’s generally too late!
Melamine bowls have a similar effect, in terms of decoration. Because melamine holds bright colours for so long, baby feeding bowls made out of it can have the same kinds of attractive and colourful designs on them – and those designs will stay for the life of the bowl. A child being fed from a brightly decorated bowl, particularly a bowl that he or she has seen before (and so knows there are nice cartoon animals under all that food) can sometimes be convinced to eat just so he or she can reveal the animals at the bottom.
Modern children’s cutlery sets, baby feeding bowls and melamine bowls are all designed to make that difficult transitional period that is baby feeding time as easy as possible. With sites like kidsen making it easy to get hold of them, there’s no reason not to take up this little advantage in the battle.
