Mealtimes with babies and toddlers can be messy – and that’s why many parents are searching for the best suction plates and bowls for weaning. At Bibbilyboo, we’ve designed our silicone suction weaning dinner sets to help keep food where it belongs – on the plate, not the floor.
Whether you’re starting with purées or trying baby-led weaning, these sets are practical, safe, and stylish. Here’s everything you need to know about using and caring for silicone suction dinnerware.
Why Choose Silicone Baby Dinner Sets?
Our Bibbilyboo dinner sets are made from 100% food-grade silicone – a favourite choice for parents because it’s:
-
✅ Safe for babies (BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free).
-
✅ Durable (won’t warp, chip, or crack like plastic).
-
✅ Soft and flexible (gentle on little gums and teeth).
-
✅ Heat-safe (microwave, dishwasher, and oven friendly).
Silicone is also naturally stain-resistant and easy to clean, making it one of the best materials for baby suction plates.
How Do Silicone Suction Plates Work?
Each plate and bowl in our weaning set has a strong suction base designed to stick firmly to smooth, flat surfaces. This suction helps prevent babies and toddlers from throwing or tipping their plates – making mealtimes less stressful for you and more fun for them.
👉 Works best on: highchair trays, glass tables, polished countertops.
Tips If Your Suction Plate Isn’t Sticking
If your suction plate for babies isn’t gripping properly, try these quick fixes:
-
Use a smooth surface
-
Works best on flat, non-porous trays or tables.
-
Textured highchair trays or wooden surfaces may reduce suction.
-
-
Clean before sticking
-
Wipe both the plate base and the surface with a damp cloth.
-
Even small crumbs or grease can break the seal.
-
-
Press down firmly
-
Place the plate and push down in the centre.
-
A little twist helps expel air and improve suction.
-
-
Rinse the base
-
Soap residue can affect suction – rinse with hot water before sticking.

How to Care for Silicone Suction Weaning Sets
One of the reasons parents love silicone baby bowls and plates is how easy they are to clean.
-
🧼 Dishwasher safe – pop them straight in after mealtimes.
-
🖐️ Hand wash – warm, soapy water works perfectly too.
-
🍅 Stain removal – foods like tomato may leave marks; use a baking soda paste to lift stains.
-
🔪 Avoid sharp knives – silicone is tough but not indestructible.
With proper care, your suction dinner set will last throughout the whole weaning journey (and well into the toddler years).
