Imitation porcelain tableware - practical but difficult to guarantee quality

Mom, rest assured: the texture is soft, smooth like porcelain but also very lightweight, not afraid of falling or deforming, the insulation performance is also very good, and it is not hot to the touch.

Mom's concern: The production of imitation porcelain tableware is relatively complex, so it is easy to adulterate. Many companies use toxic urea formaldehyde molding powder instead of normal resin raw material melamine as raw material, because the price difference between the two raw materials is nearly 10000 yuan per ton.

Suggestion for Mom: The bottom of regular imitation porcelain tableware has detailed company information, production license QS logo and number. It also depends on whether the product is evenly colored, whether there is deformation, and whether the surface is smooth. After buying it, boil it in boiling water for half an hour, let it dry for half an hour, and then boil it again for half an hour. Repeat this process four times. If there are white spots and black spots, it is a defective product with poor quality.

Plastic tableware - making babies love eating more

Mom, don't worry: it looks good, it can make the baby more interested in eating, and it's also fall proof.

Mom's concern: It is easy to adhere oil stains, difficult to clean, and prone to edges and corners after friction, causing safety hazards.

Advice to Mom: Not suitable for eating foods that require insulation and are too oily. It is recommended to choose colorless, transparent or plain colors. If you want to attract your baby's attention, you can wear flowers on the outside of the tableware, but not on the inside. Never buy plastic tableware with odor or messy colors.

Stainless steel tableware - suitable for drinking water

Mom, rest assured: easy to clean, not prone to bacterial growth, low in chemical elements, suitable for drinking water.

My mother's concern is that it is easy to get hot and the content of heavy metals is not up to standard, which can harm health. Vegetables with soup should not be stored for a long time, as soup often contains acidic substances that can dissolve nickel and chromium from unqualified stainless steel tableware. These heavy metals can affect the brain and heart health when eaten by babies.

Suggestion for Mom: Stainless steel tableware has three codes: "13-0", "18-0", and "18-8". The number before the code represents the chromium content, and the number after it represents the nickel content. Chromium is the material that prevents products from rusting, while nickel is a corrosion-resistant material. The higher the nickel content, the better the quality. However, nickel and chromium are heavy metals, so it is important to choose products that are technologically advanced, of good quality, and meet industry standards. Also be careful not to use stainless steel utensils to hold acidic foods.

Enamel tableware - gradually disappearing good tableware

Mom, rest assured: good insulation and low content of harmful substances.

Mom's concern: It is easy to deform after multiple falls, and the porcelain is prone to falling off and being eaten by babies. The production cost is high and the process is complicated, so it is rarely seen.

Advice for Mom: Enamel tableware is very suitable for babies, but it should not be used for too long and must be replaced after a period of time to prevent porcelain from falling off and being eaten by mistake. Also be careful not to buy items with patterns on the inner wall.

Wooden tableware - if you want to buy, buy unpainted ones

Mom, rest assured: it has good insulation, is more natural, has a finer and softer texture, and is not easy to harm the baby.

Mom's concern: difficult to clean, easy to breed bacteria. Decorative paint is highly toxic.

Advice for Mom: Buy wooden or bamboo tableware, and it is recommended not to buy ones with a shiny or painted surface. Because most painted tableware contains lead, long-term use is harmful to the health of babies. It is recommended to use naturally made tableware.

Ceramic and glass tableware - environmentally friendly and healthy, but easy to break

Mom, rest assured: Glass and ceramics are the main tableware used by adults, which are relatively environmentally friendly and have perfect craftsmanship.

Mom's concern: It's easy to break and could harm the baby.

Advice to Mom: Glass and ceramics are indeed very safe tableware, but the big problem is that they are fragile. In addition, it should be noted that ceramic tableware should be purchased with underglaze color. The selection method is very simple, which is ceramic tableware with a smooth surface and no discernible pattern. Of course, it is better if it is a pure color ceramic tableware without patterns and with a smooth surface.
