How well it washes - If you want a product that will wash easily, look for one that can be put in the dishwasher. You may not be able to do this with some bamboo products. Non-slip and suction bowls can help to reduce mess, while some families prefer mat-style plates. You also need to consider the type of material your baby bowl and plate are made from - something solid that won’t break easily is a must - where you’re going to use them (at home or out and about) and what you’re going to use them for – are they for purées or for BLW portions?Related: If you're still breast- or bottle feeding, see our guides to the best nursing chair and top bottle warmers to make feeds as easy as possible Are bamboo bowls safe for babies?
