Baby Weaning Plates
Everything your baby needs to start weaning, in one beautiful set.
Starting solids is a big milestone. The right plate makes it easier on both of you. Our bamboo baby weaning sets are designed to stay put while your baby explores, because a plate that travels across the highchair is a plate that ends up on the floor.
Each plate in our weaning set collection features a silicone suction ring that locks firmly to any smooth highchair tray or table. Your baby gets to focus on eating. You get to focus on something other than clearing up.
Made from natural bamboo with food-safe finishes, every plate is free from BPA and plastic and easy to clean with warm soapy water after every meal. Choose from our full range of designs, from the bestselling Elephant to the Bunny, Fox, Unicorn and beyond. Each one makes a weaning set worth giving as a gift, too.

When should you start weaning?
Most babies are ready to start solid foods at around 6 months, though every baby gets there in their own time and that is completely fine. Signs to look for include sitting up with support, showing a proper interest in what is on your plate, and losing the tongue-thrust reflex that automatically pushes food back out.
When those three things come together, you are ready. Getting set up with the right equipment before you start, a plate that stays put, a bowl that does not flip, and a spoon your baby can actually grip, means the first few weeks feel like an adventure rather than an endurance sport. That is what our weaning sets are designed for.
What equipment do you need for baby weaning?
Less than the internet would have you believe. The weaning industry has become very good at convincing new parents they need seventeen specialist items before they can feed their baby a piece of broccoli. They do not.
The essentials are straightforward: a suction plate or bowl that locks to the highchair tray, a soft-tipped spoon your baby can hold independently, and a highchair with a smooth flat surface. That is it. Our weaning sets cover all three in one go, everything you actually need, nothing you will end up donating to a charity shop after two months. Start simple, stay consistent, and let your baby do the rest.
Are your bamboo plates dishwasher safe?
Officially, no, and we do genuinely mean it. Repeated dishwasher cycles subject the bamboo to prolonged heat and moisture that can affect it over time, and we would rather you got years out of your plates than weeks.
That said, we are not naive. We know a significant number of you are putting them in the dishwasher anyway and quietly getting away with it. Our official position, the one we stand behind, is warm, soapy water after each meal. It takes thirty seconds and keeps your plates in perfect condition indefinitely. What happens in your kitchen after a long Tuesday night is entirely your business. We are not judging. We are just saying: hand wash if you want them to last.
Bamboo or silicone, which is better for babies?
Honestly, both work well, and anyone who tells you one is definitively better is probably trying to sell you one of them. That said, silicone does have form. Spend five minutes in any parent forum and you will find threads about silicone plates taking on a distinctly soapy aftertaste after a few months of dishwasher cycles. It is a real thing, and parents notice.
Bamboo does not do that. It is a natural, sustainable material that looks genuinely beautiful on the table, feels more grown-up at mealtimes as your child gets older, and does not develop a personality of its own over time. Our suction plates give you both: a natural bamboo surface your child eats from every day, combined with a food-safe silicone suction ring underneath that keeps the plate exactly where you put it. The aesthetics of bamboo, the practicality of silicone, and absolutely no hint of washing-up liquid.
