Munchkin
No products found.
Munchkin’s Stay Put Suction Bowls are really nice to look at. Simple, clean lines and colours make these a really attractive choice for you and your little ones. They are stackable, which is ideal as baby equipment can easily start taking over your kitchen (and your house). The suction pads on the bottom are strong and expansive so they really do stay put. You can use these bowls both in a dishwasher and a microwave which makes them very suitable as baby led weaning bowls.
Doddl Bowl
No products found.
If you are a fan of Doddl cutlery, you’ll be thrilled to know that they now have released a bowl. This is the doddl 2-in-1 Baby and Toddler Bowl and it grows with your little one. The blw bowl comes with a lovely detachable silicone base, which makes it attach easily to a highchair tray or table but also makes it easy to wash up at the end of the meal. Once your little one gets a bit bigger and doesn’t need the suction base, you can remove the suction ring and it becomes a lovely non-slip bowl. The bowl is round on the inside and has a unique ergonomic design which is ideal for little ones who are learning to scoop up their delicious dinners.
Bubba Bear
No products found.
This set of baby bowls from Bubba Bear is really cute with little ears on the top. When your little one gets to the bottom of their food, a little face is peeking back at them. The colours are muted tones which won’t fade over time, so your bowl will look as good as new wash, after wash. You can use these bowls in the microwave, freezer and dishwasher which makes them very convenient for busy parents.
Bumkins
No products found.
There are lots of great features of the Bumkins First Feeding Set. The bowl can not only be used in a microwave, dishwasher and freezer but it can also be used in an oven up to 190 degrees. The bowl comes with a handy lid which is great for transporting food on the go or even carrying leftovers until you can find a bin. The spoon is double-ended which is ideal for little ones finding their way with a spoon. One end can be dipped in purees and the other can be used to scoop. In my experience both ends will get used for whatever the child decides to do, so making it double-ended seems like a smart move.
Matchstick Monkey
No products found.
You may have heard of the Matchstick Monkey teethers, but did you know that Matchstick Monkey now makes a Baby Weaning Anti-Slip Plate and Bowl? The cheerful little monkey character appears on the bottom of both the plate and the bowl which will really make mealtimes fun for your baby. The set comes in four different colours and like so many of the bowls featured has a strong suction on the base. The Matchstick Monkey plates and bowls claim they protect from 99.9% of bacteria developing on them, which is reassuring when your child is still so very little and their immune system is still developing.
Vital Baby
No products found.
Vital Baby bowls are one of our favourites in our house. This Nourish Power Suction Bowl with Lid and Weaning Spoon has a really impressive suction and it took my toddler a very long time to be able to remove the bowl, so definitely ideal for those who are embarking on baby led weaning where everything is likely to be grabbed and thrown. There are quite a few great features of this bowl set. The sides are scooped which makes it easier for your baby to get the food out themselves and the spoon fits nicely into a hygienic lid flap which is a much better idea than it rolling around a changing or lunch bag. Some thought has gone into this bowl set.
Nana’s Manners
No products found.
The Nana’s Manners Stage 1 Suction Bowl Set is ideal for when you need a combination bowl. It’s got a suction suitable for helping babies when they want to self-feed, plus a handle for Mum or Dad when they want to hold the bowl and do a bit of spoon-feeding. This bowl is suitable for steam and cold water sterilisation which is great when you are first starting weaning and want everything to be as sterile as possible. Although once they get crawling and start licking the kitchen floor, you will wonder why you bother!
Bamboo Bamboo
No products found.
The Bamboo Bamboo Suction Bowls are perhaps one of the pricer baby led weaning bowls but they are nice to look at and feel really good quality. The colour combinations on them are very pleasing to the eye and they are great for babies who are embarking on their baby led weaning journey. The bowls don’t get hot, are naturally anti-bacterial and also are much more environmentally friendly than many of their plastic counterparts. If you are considering a Bamboo Bamboo bowl, it would be a good investment for the whole of your weaning journey.
PandaEar

These striking PandaEar Silicone Baby Suction Bowls will go down a treat with your little one. They are super cute with small ears/handles on the side. This set is very reasonably priced for a pack of two bowls, which come complete with matching spoons. The spoons are lovely and soft which is perfect for delicate gums just starting out on soft foods. The colours are also really bright and fresh looking.
Beau Baby

These lovely stainless steel bowls from Beau Baby are very different to a lot of the baby led weaning bowls on offer. They are particularly good for baby led weaning as they will keep the food on the inside warm without heating up the outside and making it unsafe for baby to touch. The stainless steel bowl comes with a lid and a matching spoon. There are three lovely colours to choose from.
EasyTots
No products found.
The EasyTots Baby Silicone Suction Bowl is shaped to help babies who are learning to feed themselves. The bowl is much deeper and curved to make getting food from the bowl onto a spoon much easier – as we all know practice makes perfect! The EasyTots bowl comes with a matching spoon and fork. These are small and curved, making them perfect for little ones. The design of the bowl and cutlery is really eye-catching. I think the zebra one is just fantastic!
BÉABA

If you just want a bit of simplicity in your life, then take a closer look at the BÉABA Silicone Bowl. The bowl comes in three simple colours – pink, grey and yellow. Its been ergonomically designed to help little ones scoop up their food and can be used in both the microwave and dishwasher. They also have a suction pad on the bottom to help them stay put.
Tommee Tippee

The Tommee Tippee Easi Scoop Baby Feeding Bowls are a different offering from a lot of the other blw bowls that I’ve covered so far. They are triangle shaped at the bottom which helps with the ability to scoop food out, plus they have a large lip on the side which is ideal for holding whilst scooping. These bowls come in a set of 4 and are very reasonably priced. This is another bowl which can be used in a steriliser.
Design Letters

These super cute mini bowls are perfect for when you’ve had enough of all your baby stuff looking like baby stuff. The Design Letters Mini Baby Bowls have a stylish design and are stackable, making them kitchen-friendly too. The baby bowls are made up of Tritan which is unbreakable, so even if they do get tipped off a highchair or the dining table, they won’t break.

This pack of four weaning bowls with lids come in at a really cost-effective price which you are going to love. Not only are the Nuby Muncheez Weaning Bowls dishwasher and microwave safe, but you can also use them in your steriliser.
