A "Baby Plate" is a specially designed dish for infants and toddlers, aimed at making mealtime easier and more enjoyable. These plates often feature divided sections to keep different foods separate, which can help with portion control and encourage children to try a variety of foods. They are typically made from safe, non-toxic materials that are easy to clean. Many baby plates come with suction bases to prevent spills and messes, making them ideal for young children who are learning to eat independently. Some designs are also microwave and dishwasher safe, adding convenience for parents. Popular brands include Boon, Munchkin, and OXO.
