Mealtimes with your baby can be a challenge. Food falls on the floor, a spoon rolls off the table. You know the drill. As a parent, you're looking for items that can take a beating and are safe. More and more parents are choosing stainless steel (RVS) bowls and spoons, often with a soft silicone exterior. You see them a lot in baby shops, on social media, and with paediatric dietitians. They are durable, easy to clean, and contain no BPA. But why exactly is RVS so popular?
In some plastic containers, substances like BPA or phthalates are present. You certainly don't want these in your child's food, as they can affect hormones. Stainless steel (RVS) does not contain these substances. It won't impart any smell or taste, even when sterilised by boiling. Flavours from foods like tomato or curry won't penetrate the material. An added bonus: many brands include a silicone sleeve. This feels soft to the touch, doesn't get hot, and protects little hands and teeth. These silicones are food-safe, can withstand high temperatures (up to 220 °C), and contain no harmful substances. Exactly what you're looking for for your baby.
Tip:Stainless steel (RVS) is usually not microwave-safe. Therefore, warm the food in a saucepan or another container and then transfer it. If available, use a silicone sleeve with a suction cup base to keep the bowl firmly on the table.
Glass can break, and thin plastic quickly develops cracks or unsightly stains. Stainless steel (RVS) remains intact, even if it takes a hard fall from the high chair. This means it will last for years, even for a younger sibling. The silicone sleeve absorbs the impact, reduces noise on the table, and prevents scratches on your tabletop. The metal itself won't rust and hardly scratches, preventing bacteria from settling in tiny grooves. Because it's so strong, you can easily take the tableware to daycare, the park, or on holiday.
For your baby, eating is more than just getting a full tummy. Your little one feels the smooth, cool interior and the warm food: an interesting contrast to discover. The sound of the spoon against the rim sounds like a soft 'ting'. This teaches your baby what happens when they tap against something. The silicone rim provides grip, so the bowl won't easily slip from those little hands. Your child practices holding on and learns to self-feed. Choose striking colours, such as a green sleeve with a silver interior. This helps your baby clearly see where the food ends, which is great for practising hand-eye coordination.
Steel is highly recyclable. A good stainless steel (RVS) set replaces many plastic containers that become unsightly or break after a while. This saves money and reduces waste – a small effort with a big impact. Is your child older now? You can simply use the stainless steel (RVS) bowl for snacks, when camping, or for craft supplies. This way, you'll naturally recoup the higher initial purchase price.
Stainless steel baby tableware and stainless steel baby cutlery is safe, incredibly strong, and long-lasting. It helps you relax at the dinner table, is good for your baby's development, and reduces waste. No wonder you're seeing it more and more on high chairs and in kitchen cupboards. Are you looking for a safe, BPA-free bowl that you'll enjoy for years? Then stainless steel with a silicone rim is a smart and sustainable choice for your family.
