Nursing, feeding & eating
Make Your Little One’s Dining Experience Fun
For every nursing, feeding and eating need, IKEA has a variety of baby feeding products that are made just for little ones. The HEROISK plate is divided into three compartments that make it easy to use for children who are learning to eat by themselves. The MATA training beakers have a spout and a handle on either side so that babies can hold it and drink out of it with ease. We also have bibs like the MATVRÅ that are waterproof and have a pocket in the front to catch any spilled food.
Discover baby tableware
Explore the colourful world of baby tableware. Training cups, baby bibs and feeding utensils - each item plays a crucial role in your child's development.
What makes baby tableware a must?
Not just miniature versions of adult dishes, baby tableware is specifically designed to help your little one transition from breastfeeding or bottle-feeding to eating solid foods. The right tableware will make this journey a more enjoyable and less messy experience.
Take training cups, for instance. These cleverly designed cups have a spill-proof top that allows your baby to drink without spilling. They're perfect for teaching your baby how to hold and drink from a cup, fostering independence and fine motor skills.
How do I maintain baby tableware?
Maintaining baby tableware is simpler than you might think. Most items, including sippy cups and baby bibs, are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, you can wash them by hand with warm, soapy water. Ensure they are thoroughly dried before storing to prevent mould. Always check instructions for specific cleaning guidelines.
As baby tableware is subject to a lot of wear and tear, you should perform regular checks for any signs of damage. If a sippy cup's spout or a baby bib's fastening shows signs of wear, it's time to replace them.
What to consider when choosing baby tableware
When choosing baby tableware, consider your baby's development stage. A training cup with handles is ideal for babies who are just learning to hold things. As they grow, you can transition to a cup without handles.
Baby bibs are equally important. Look for bibs that are easy to clean, have a comfortable fit, and a secure fastening. Some bibs even come with a handy food catcher at the bottom, saving your floors from those inevitable food drops.
