Bamboo baby plates and bowls are a better option for your baby for several reasons. First and foremost, bamboo is an eco-friendly material that is renewable and sustainable, so you can feel good about choosing a product that is good for the environment. Secondly, the size and shape of the plates, bowls, spoons, and forks are perfect for little hands to hold, making it easier for your baby to learn how to feed themselves. Finally, the edges of the dishes are rounded and smooth, so your baby won't accidentally hurt themselves while eating.
