Many children don't like eating, which has always been a headache for many parents. Eating was originally a pleasure, but in the end it became a painful thing. Of course, in addition, some mothers often worry about their baby's choice of tableware. When choosing tableware for your baby, you should consider whether the material is safe, whether the style is easy to hold, whether the cartoon shape on the tableware is exquisite and lovely, so that your baby can "love me, love my dog" and love to eat ... How should you choose tableware for your baby?
Details are as follows:
First, material safety is the most important.
Choosing tableware for your baby, the material is particularly important, not only considering whether the material itself contains harmful substances, but also considering the actual use needs. At present, there are four kinds of baby tableware materials on the market: plastic, stainless steel, ceramics and melamine imitation porcelain. These four materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. Parents can judge whether the material of tableware is qualified by "seeing, touching and smelling" when purchasing.
Look at that. First of all, look at the product identification, manufacturer's address, contact information, certification qualification and product material on the tableware. The recently popular porcelain-like tableware depends on the QS logo and production license number at the bottom, and the surface of the tableware should be free of impurities and uniform gray-black particles.
"Touch". Qualified tableware has a smooth surface and a certain strength. Try to choose underglaze and underglaze tableware with small decorative area, and don't choose underglaze tableware. This kind of tableware feels rough, the picture has a convex feeling and it is easy to fade. When it comes into contact with acidic food, the heavy metals in the pigment may migrate and endanger health. Colored plastic tableware can be rubbed with fingers to see if it is decolored, and products with patterns or colors can be wiped off by hand, and the dissolution probability of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium is high.
Smell. Qualified products can't smell anything just by their noses. If you can smell uncomfortable, it means that the product may have used bad raw materials. For example, plastic tableware may be made of waste plastic and recycled plastic, so the product material is up to standard. ?
Second, the style is more traditional.
There are various styles of baby tableware on the market now: bowls are round, oval and polygonal; Besides traditional forms, there are other kinds of spoons, such as curved handles and cartoon shapes. It is easy for parents to be dazzled and ignore practicality when choosing.
When buying a bowl for your baby, you'd better choose the traditional round shape. Because the round tableware is more practical, the baby is not easy to be hurt by the edges and corners of the tableware; If polygonal tableware is used, the baby is prone to leakage when eating liquid food, while circular tableware can avoid this situation to a great extent; In addition, if parents want to buy a bowl with a handle design, they should also pay attention to whether the handle design is convenient for the baby to hold, and the tableware that is easy to grasp can arouse the child's interest in eating. ?
When buying a spoon, we should pay attention to whether the design of the spoon handle is scientific, whether it is suitable for the baby's hand shape and whether it is convenient for the baby to hold; It is best not to choose a spoon with a strange shape. If the baby uses it to eat or play, it may be dangerous. Moreover, spoons with complex shapes will be difficult to clean. If it is not cleaned well, it is easy to breed bacteria, which may have adverse effects on the baby.
The three colors are mainly single.
? In order to make children have more appetite, many baby tableware will be painted with lovely colorful cartoon patterns. Some of these patterns are outside the tableware, and some are inside the tableware. Mothers may struggle to choose which pattern to give their baby, but I remind them that when buying baby tableware, they should be concerned about whether the colorful patterns on the tableware will fall off; Whether the color will dissolve after the food is filled.
Because the pigments used in the patterns painted on colored tableware may be harmful to children's health. The main raw material used to draw the pigment inside tableware is generally colored glaze, which contains a lot of lead. Acidic food can dissolve lead in glass and enter children's bodies at the same time as food. Then there are painted chopsticks, which can not only dissolve lead in food, but also allow children to eat it directly when it is aged for a long time or chewed repeatedly in their mouths. Children absorb lead six times faster than adults. When the lead content in children is too high, it will cause serious harm to the development of intelligence.
Therefore, when parents choose tableware for their baby, it is best to buy one with a single color and no pattern inside the tableware; As for chopsticks, don't buy painted ones.
4. Select the function as needed.
I believe many mothers have found that there are more and more functions of baby-specific tableware on the market: bowls with suction cups on the base will not move when adsorbed on the desktop, and will not be easily knocked over by the baby; There are temperature-sensitive bowls and spoons, which are convenient for parents to master the temperature and not burn their babies; Most qualified tableware is also resistant to high temperature and can be sterilized at high temperature to ensure safety and hygiene. What kind of functions should I buy? Everything seems to fit.
In fact, parents can buy according to their baby and their own needs. If the baby just started to practice eating by himself, it is easy to knock over the rice bowl, then choose a bowl with adsorption function; If you can't judge whether the temperature of food is appropriate, buy bowls and spoons with temperature sensing function, so that you are not afraid of scalding your baby. ...
In addition, when choosing baby tableware, parents should pay attention to whether the functions of some tableware are really suitable for the baby. Don't buy some features just because they are interesting. It causes the baby's attention to shift from eating, and the child can't eat well, which violates the original function of tableware.
