Important information when buying baby tableware
Drinking and storing are two different tasks
A small open cup helps you practice drinking together. A storage cup seals a portion for later. Buy only the items you use. A suitable cup and food-safe containers you already own can serve the same purposes.
When do you start with an open cup?
From six months, you can gradually offer water alongside milk feeds. The Voedingscentrum advises practicing with an ordinary open cup. Start with a few sips, hold the cup together and stay with your baby.
How many containers do you need?
First tastes initially involve just a few spoonfuls. A large container does not need to be full. Consider how many portions you make at once and the space in your refrigerator or freezer. A small supply of containers is easier to manage than a large set you hardly use.
How do you choose refrigerator and freezer containers?
Use clean, tightly sealable food-safe containers. Check the permitted temperatures for both container and lid. Write down the contents and date. The material alone does not tell you whether a container can go in the microwave or freezer. Follow the storage instructions for the food you made.
Best baby tableware: what suits your family?
If you want a small open cup, the Tiny Cup of approximately 60 ml is one example. If you make several portions at once, the Philips set offers ten sealable cups. You do not need to buy them together or replace suitable items you already own.
