This is the most important question to ask! and yes, it is safe. It is vital to distinguish between solid bamboo and bamboo fiber composites.

• Bamboo Fiber Composites (The ones to avoid): These are made by mixing bamboo dust with melamine glue/plastic. These are the products you see warnings about, as the plastic can leach chemicals when heated.
• Our Solid Bamboo (The safe choice): Our plates are made from 100% natural bamboo strips laminated together, just like a high-quality wooden cutting board. They contain zero melamine and zero plastic. We use only FDA-approved, food-safe adhesives and finishes to ensure your baby is eating off nature, not chemistry. They are naturally BPA, PVC, and Phthalate-free.

No, bamboo tableware should never be placed in the microwave. Because bamboo is a natural, organic material, it contains natural moisture within its fibers.

The intense, concentrated heat of a microwave causes this internal moisture to expand rapidly as steam. Since the wood is rigid, this expansion causes extreme stress, leading to cracking, splitting, or warping.

To warm your baby's food, we recommend heating it in a glass or ceramic container first, then transferring it to the bamboo plate. This has an added safety benefit: the plate stays cool to the touch, preventing accidental burns to your little one's fingers!

We highly recommend hand washing to keep your bamboo beautiful for years.

• Why? Dishwashers use very high heat and aggressive detergents that strip the natural moisture and protective oils from the wood. This can cause the bamboo to dry out, become rough, and eventually crack.
• The Routine: Washing is quick and easy! Just use warm soapy water and a soft sponge. The most important step is to dry it immediately with a cloth rather than letting it air dry on a rack. This prevents water from soaking into the wood fibers.

Our silicone suction bases are engineered for a super-strong hold, but they rely on a vacuum seal, which requires the right surface.

• Best Surfaces: Smooth, non-porous surfaces like plastic high chair trays (e.g., IKEA Antilop), glass tables, or stone countertops work best.
• Troublesome Surfaces: Textured wood, grainy surfaces, or scratched trays allow air to sneak in, breaking the seal.
• Pro Tip: If you're having trouble, wipe the suction ring and the tray with a damp cloth first. A tiny layer of moisture helps fill microscopic gaps and creates a lock-tight seal!"

Bamboo is incredibly strong—much stronger than ceramic or glass—but it is not invincible. Think of it like a high-quality wooden toy.

• The Drop Test: It will survive most drops from a high chair, especially onto wood or carpeted floors. However, a hard fall onto concrete or tile can cause it to crack or split.
• The Comparison: It won't shatter into dangerous shards like glass, but it isn't 'bouncy' like silicone. The suction base is your best defense against gravity!

Bamboo is a natural material, and like any wood, it has pores. While our plates are finished to be stain-resistant, powerful natural dyes like turmeric, beetroot, and tomato sauce can leave a mark if left to sit.

• Prevention: The best defense is to wash the plate soon after the meal. A layer of coconut oil applied before use can also act as a barrier!
• The Fix: If a stain happens, don't panic. Rub the spot with a cut lemon and salt, or a paste of baking soda and water. Leave it for a few minutes, rinse, and re-oil. The sun can also help bleach out natural stains!

hink of your bamboo plate like your skin—it needs moisture to stay healthy and resist cracking!

• How Often: Once a month, or whenever the wood looks 'thirsty' or dry.
• What to Use: We recommend Coconut Oil (naturally antibacterial and smells great) or food-grade Mineral Oil. Avoid regular vegetable or olive oil, as they can go rancid and smell bad over time.
• The Process: Just rub a little oil on with a cloth, let it soak in overnight, and wipe off the excess. It keeps the plate shiny and water-resistant!"

Silicone is great, but bamboo offers some unique benefits for your growing baby:

1. Taste Neutrality: Silicone can sometimes absorb the 'soapy' taste of dish detergents, which transfers to food. Bamboo is completely neutral—food just tastes like food!
2. Motor Skills: The rigid structure of a bamboo plate gives your baby a solid edge to push their spoon against, making it easier to learn how to scoop compared to a flexible silicone bowl.
3. Natural Beauty: It brings a calming, natural element to the dinner table that looks beautiful.
