Best plate and cutlery for weaning?

[KellyJellyfish]

Baby is 6 months so will be weaning shortly, the interest is full of different shaped plates and cutlery and I have no idea what to get, what product worked for you? Are the suction cup ones worth it?

Title should say plate

Sorry you didn't have any replies. I've had 2 DC. We started off with normal bowls with both of them. One needed swapping to a suction bowl as they were very good at throwing. The other was fine with regular bowls.

Think we just bought the spoons from the nearest ship that stocked them? Same with cutlery when it was time for that.

One thing I would recommend though is reading this from the Caroline Walker Trust as it has some excellent suggestions for first foods to try

I like the suction ones. I have the eco rascals bamboo bowl and toddler plate for my son.

Love the suction ones. Check out Tiny Dining - they have silicone and bamboo options at really reasonable prices!

IKEA highchair and food straight onto the tray at that age with a big bib and tea towel covering DC lap to catch bits. They rarely got clothes mucky or threw food on the floor.

Set of 4 coloured bowls from Ikea, couple of plastic spoons, switched to metal knife fork and spoon around 9 months

this weather removing clothes before eating works well! one of mine needed a suction bowl, also putting a few things straight onto the high chair tray works well, and replace if eaten, reduces the ability to create chaos quite well!

Tommee tippee do a weaning set of bowls and spoons that's really good. Is my little one the only one who figured out how to lift the suction bowl straight away 😅
