Not a scientist, nor an expert on any of this - but reports on microplastics and impacts to (developing) bodies are everywhere, and growing. As such, we really do try to keep our children’s tableware as safe and y controversial as possible! Here are some of our favorite, tried and tested, and best purchases for babies and toddlers’ silverware, cups, plates and bowls.

Cups:
We love munchkin 360 cups - and we stick to the stainless steel ones as much as possible

For school - and on the go, can’t beat these as well (I believe my husband got our son’s custom one on the actual Yeti site) THESE!
Plates, bowls, and silverware!
I absolutely adore our little Ahimsa rainbow stainless steel plates - they’re fun, shiny, and my toddler loves his. We run them through the washer easily and use them every night for dinner.
We use these plates
They make these sweet little bowls that we like as well, and their flatware is great too! I’d say the flatware is good for 3+. For age 1-3 toddlers I’d recommend these forks and spoons for little hands.
For snacks - I’d recommend one of these little snack catchers in stainless steel - find it here.
