Why should we prepare children’s tableware for babies? The tableware used by adults is not suitable for babies in terms of style and use. Because the tableware used by adults is often large, heavy and of a single color, using such cups or bowls to hold juice or milk will not only affect the baby's appetite, but also easily cause the baby to feel oppressed. Tableware used by adults has many disadvantages compared to babies. For example, stainless steel spoons and forks are sharp and can easily cause trauma if used improperly by babies. Plastic tableware cannot be sterilized at high temperatures and can easily adhere to grease and bacteria, which will harm the baby. health; and ceramic products are afraid of falling and are not ideal tableware for babies. Reasonably designed children's tableware takes into account the applicability and safety of babies, fully reflecting the characteristics of children: small and exquisite, not afraid of falling, not brittle, no burrs when bumped, etc., babies can use it with confidence. Therefore, when the baby at home starts to add complementary foods, or the baby starts to grab the dishes and chopsticks from the hands of adults and clumsily put food into his mouth, parents should consider choosing a set of children's tableware for the baby. Preparing a set of children's tableware for babies at home is beneficial to: ·Increase the baby's interest in eating. Bright and bright colors will directly stimulate the baby's visual organs. In addition, most children's tableware is designed with delicate cartoon shapes, which can easily attract the baby's attention. Attractive and can produce a happy mood from it. With the baby's natural curiosity and strong desire to control, he may actively ask to feed himself, which greatly enhances the baby's interest in eating. It is very beneficial for a child's physical and mental health to eat in a fresh and bright environment. · Cultivate the baby's hands-on ability. When the baby is about 1 year old, he begins to take the initiative to put rice into his mouth with a spoon, or his parents teach him to use a spoon to put rice into his mouth. At this time, if the size, length, and weight of the tableware meet the baby's needs, it will be easier for the baby to "spread" it easily. This is conducive to cultivating the baby's hands-on ability, promoting the flexible movement of the baby's fingers, thereby balancing the baby's limb coordination ability, and is an effective means to improve the cortical functions of the two hemispheres of the brain. ·Nurture the habit of paying attention to hygiene and observing rules. Nowadays, some tableware sets specially designed for children are increasingly favored by young parents. Using this well-designed box set, children will have the desire to actively wash the dishes and put the items back into the lunch box in an orderly manner according to their shapes and sizes. This is very helpful for children to develop good habits of hygiene and obeying rules. Be careful when buying tableware for your baby. It is best to choose those special children's tableware when buying tableware for your baby, because these tableware will be designed according to the child's physiological characteristics and are more suitable for the baby. When buying tableware, you can take your child with you, because the tableware is for children to use. If you let him choose the tableware he likes, it will attract him to eat by himself. ·Brand There are many brands of children's tableware on the market. When purchasing children's tableware, brand is a very important selection factor. Many parents believe that it is difficult to judge whether a product is safe and hygienic with the naked eye. Most well-known brands have been tested by the national health department and are safer than those small brands. ·Safety Among the factors when purchasing, the material used for tableware is the most important to parents. What they are most worried about is whether the material of the tableware contains harmful elements, such as lead, and ordinary consumers cannot tell whether the product is safe and hygienic. However, many parents know that they should not choose brightly colored tableware. It is best to use colorless, transparent or light-colored tableware. ·Material Most children's tableware on the market is made of plastic. Glass bowls or traditional ceramic bowls are large and heavy, making them inconvenient for children to use and easy to break. ·Styles: After shopping around in the market, I found that the styles of children's tableware are really diverse, including round, oval, polygon, etc. In addition to the traditional linear shape of the spoon, there is also a curved spoon head style. Because young children's hands cannot bend, it is difficult to scoop up the meal with a spoon and put it into their mouths, so this kind of curved spoon head was designed. Spoon makes it easier for children to put rice into their mouths. ·Function Children's tableware also has many functions. There is a bowl with a suction cup on the bottom, which can suck the bowl on the table without moving, so it is not easily knocked over by the baby; the temperature-sensitive bowl and spoon allow parents to control the temperature without As for scalding children, high-temperature-resistant tableware can be sterilized at high temperatures to ensure safety and hygiene.

Types of children's tableware that should be avoided. In the world of children's tableware with numerous varieties, childlike parents may subjectively choose tableware with unique shapes and bright colors for their babies based solely on novelty and individuality; Some parents will let their babies choose without any reference and just buy a lot of them. Improper selection of children's tableware can be very harmful to the baby's health. Young parents should avoid choosing the following types when purchasing children's tableware for their babies: 1. Plastic tableware Plastic tableware is made of polymerized polymer compounds. During processing, solvents, plasticizers and colorants are added to meet the needs of specific materials. During their processing and manufacturing processes, some unreacted monomer residues will be produced, and these residues have a certain degree of toxicity. When plastic tableware is used to serve food, these trace amounts of plastic components on the tableware will be transferred to the food, directly harming human health. Moreover, plastic tableware is more toxic and harmful when heated. 2. Colorful tableware on the inside Colored tableware The paint used in the patterns painted on it is harmful to children's health. The main raw material for the paint used in the drawings on the inside of tableware is colored glaze, which contains a large amount of lead. Acidic food can dissolve the lead in the glaze and enter the child's body at the same time as the food. Then there are the lacquered chopsticks, which not only dissolve lead in food, but when they age for a long time or are chewed repeatedly by children, the lacquer may fall off and be eaten directly by children. Children absorb lead faster than 6 times faster for adults. When the lead content in children's bodies is too high, it will cause serious harm to intellectual development. 3. Sharp tableware. Stainless steel rice spoons and knives and forks are dangerous to a certain extent. Those with rough manufacturing processes are even more dangerous because of their sharp edges. Parents should be especially careful when choosing. Because children generally have poor positioning and balancing abilities, their lips can easily be punctured by using sharp tableware. In the event of an accident, such as a child falling or colliding with an object, trauma may also occur. In addition, during the teething period, many children often like to look for things to bite because of itching and toothache. For example, when a baby is eating, once a rice spoon or chopsticks are put into his mouth along with the rice, he will bite it for a long time. Young parents should be more careful, because biting hard objects and other sharp objects can easily damage the baby's gum mucosa. 4. Tableware that is not easy to clean. Some tableware is not easy to clean, making it easy for grease and bacteria to adhere to them. Bacteria breed and spread rapidly, making babies very susceptible to intestinal diseases; if high-temperature sterilization cannot be carried out, the grease attached to the tableware cannot be removed in time, which can easily attract cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies, and they will bring a large number of The impact of germs on the baby's physical and mental health is also quite terrible.
