Baby Dining Sets

Baby Mealtimes – Messy, Fun & Full of Surprises

At Bumbles and Boo, we offer a beautiful selection of baby dining sets, including plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery designed to support independent eating and weaning. Babies often find it hilarious when something falls to the floor from their highchair, so save your best crockery and opt for a durable melamine dining set. Our sets include a plate, bowl, mug, knife, fork, spoon, and even an egg cup—perfect for little food explorers.

If you're just starting on your weaning journey, don't forget to stock up on bibs—babies are notoriously messy at this stage! And if you're looking for something to keep them entertained instead of playing with their food, explore our range of baby toys.

When Should I Start Using a Baby Dining Set?

Most babies start weaning at around six months, making this the perfect time to introduce a baby dining set. As little ones begin exploring new tastes and textures, having the right tableware can make mealtimes easier, more enjoyable, and just a little less messy!

A well-designed baby dining set supports important developmental milestones. As babies learn to hold spoons, grab finger foods, and bring food to their mouths, they develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Introducing a variety of foods in a baby-friendly bowl or plate encourages them to touch, squish, and taste at their own pace. Using an open cup or sippy cup alongside meals also helps them transition from bottle to beaker more smoothly.

What’s Included in a Baby Dining Set?

A good baby tableware set should include:

• Plate & Bowl – Designed with raised edges to help little ones scoop up food more easily.
• Knife, Fork & Spoon – Soft, easy-grip handles perfect for tiny hands learning to self-feed.
• Mug or Cup – Lightweight and durable, ideal for transitioning from bottles.
• Egg Cup – A fun way to introduce new textures and breakfast favourites.

Our melamine baby dining sets are lightweight, durable, and break-resistant, making them perfect for everyday use.

What’s the Best Material for Baby Tableware?

Choosing the right baby dining set can feel overwhelming for new parents. It needs to be safe, practical, and easy to clean, all while being gentle on little hands and mouths. With so many options available, understanding the benefits of different materials can help you find the best fit for your little one.

Don’t Forget the Weaning Essentials!

Weaning can be a messy but rewarding experience, so make sure you’re stocked up on all the essentials. You’ll need plenty of bibs to protect clothes and make clean-up easier, an easy-to-wipe highchair mat to catch spills and crumbs, and a few engaging sensory baby toys to keep little hands busy instead of playing with their food.
