After adding complementary foods to babies, in addition to bottles, utensils such as bowls, spoons, and plates are also needed. Since tableware comes into direct contact with baby food, if there are hygiene issues with the plates, it may directly contaminate the baby's food, thereby affecting their health. Is the bamboo fiber baby plate harmful?
The materials available on the market for making baby food plates include plastic, bamboo fiber, solid wood, and metal products. Among them, bamboo fiber plates are relatively expensive. Bamboo fiber is made from natural bamboo, so bamboo fiber plates are relatively safe and can be used to serve babies with bamboo fiber plates.
However, the quality of bamboo fiber plates also varies greatly, and not all bamboo fiber plates are suitable for babies. When choosing bamboo fiber plates for babies, the following aspects should be noted:
One is to choose original bamboo fiber plates as much as possible. Many businesses use chemical dyes to color bamboo fiber plates in order to make them look better. These dyes may be gradually worn off during use and ingested into the baby's body.
Secondly, when purchasing, be sure to choose bamboo fiber plates with relatively dry materials. If the bamboo fiber plates are stored too humid, they can breed many bacteria, which may cause gastrointestinal problems for babies when used.
