Starting solids means suddenly needing plates, bowls, spoons, cups. It can all add up quickly. Baby feeding sets solve this by bundling everything together in coordinated pieces designed to work as a system. They're practical, often better value than buying separately and take the guesswork out of choosing compatible items. Whether you're doing baby-led weaning or traditional spoon-feeding, there's a set designed for how you want to feed.

What's Included in Baby Feeding Sets

Feeding sets typically include a combination of these essentials:

  • Plates / bowls – Usually includes divided plates for separating foods and bowls for cereals or purees. Many have suction bases to prevent throwing. Browse individual baby plates & bowls for more options.

  • Cups / sippy cups – Spill-proof or open cups for learning to drink independently. Check our range of sippy cups for standalone options.

  • Cutlery – Baby-friendly spoons and forks with chunky handles for little hands learning to self-feed. See our full baby cutlery collection.

  • Bibs (if applicable) – Some sets include matching bibs for complete coordination. Explore our baby bibs range separately.

  • Storage or travel components – Certain sets come with travel cases or storage containers for on-the-go feeding.

How Do You Shop by Feeding Style?

Different feeding approaches work better with different set designs:

  • Baby-led weaning (BLW) – Look for sets with divided plates for offering variety, easy-grip cutlery and open cups. Suction bases are brilliant for preventing plate-throwing during early self-feeding experiments.

  • Spoon-feeding – Sets with deep bowls, soft-tipped spoons and smaller portions work well. Some include storage for prepping meals in advance.

  • Combination feeding – Most versatile sets include both bowls for purees and plates for finger foods, plus various utensils to suit both approaches.

How Do You Shop by Material?

Different materials offer different benefits:

  • Silicone – Flexible, unbreakable and dishwasher-safe. Suction bases stick well to highchair trays. Gentle on baby's gums if they chew the edges.

  • Bamboo – Naturally antibacterial and lightweight. Not microwave-safe.

  • Plastic (BPA-free) – Lightweight, affordable, and durable. Ensure it's BPA-free, phthalate-free and meets Australian safety standards. Most are dishwasher and microwave-safe.

  • Stainless steel – Extremely durable and designed not to stain or retain odours as stainless steel will retain protein (milk) odours if not washed properly. Great for older toddlers but can be noisy on highchair trays and not microwave-safe.

What Key Features Should You Consider?

Keep an eye out for these practical features when making your choice:

  • Dishwasher / microwave compatibility – Makes life easier when you're washing multiple loads daily. Check if all pieces are safe for both before buying.

  • Portability for on-the-go feeding – If you eat out often or send meals to childcare, look for sets with travel cases or stackable designs that pack compactly.

  • Suction bases – Prevent plates and bowls from being flung across the room during enthusiastic mealtimes. Essential for baby-led weaning.

  • Age-appropriate sizing – Smaller portions for younger babies, larger sizes for toddlers. Some sets grow with your child.

  • Ease of cleaning – Avoid pieces with hard-to-clean crevices. Smooth surfaces wipe clean quickly between dishwasher loads.

The Final Word

Feeding sets won't magically make mealtimes mess-free, but they make the logistics simpler. Everything matches, everything works together and you've got what you need in one go. Less thinking, more feeding.

Most feeding sets are designed for babies starting solids around 6 months and work through toddlerhood. Check specific age recommendations as some are better suited for different stages of self-feeding development.

Reputable brands make feeding sets from BPA-free materials. Always check product descriptions for BPA-free, phthalate-free and food-safe certifications (especially for plastic items).

Most are dishwasher-safe, but not all are microwave-safe (for example bamboo and stainless steel can't go in the microwave). Always check the care instructions for each piece in the set just in case.

BLW sets typically include divided plates for variety, easy-grip cutlery and open cups for independent drinking. Traditional sets often have deeper bowls for purees and soft-tipped spoons for parent-led feeding.

Typically 3-6 pieces: a plate, bowl, cup, and 1-2 utensils. Some comprehensive sets include additional storage containers, bibs, or travel cases. Check product descriptions for exact contents.
