Why Silicone Is the New Standard for Baby Products

When it comes to choosing the safest baby products, modern parents want more than just cute designs—they want non-toxic materials, proven durability, and long-term value. That’s why silicone baby products have become the top choice for everything from baby spoons to toddler cups. And when it comes to the best in class? We trust EZPZ silicone feeding tools, available now in The Baby Shop at Sarah Wells Bags.

What Makes Silicone So Special?

Silicone is a superstar when it comes to baby feeding essentials. Made from naturally abundant elements like sand, silicone baby gear offers a wide range of benefits for both baby and parent:

  • Non-toxic, BPA-free, and phthalate-free

  • Soft and gentle for teething gums and small mouths

  • Easy to grip for self-feeding babies

  • Dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and freezer friendly

  • Naturally antimicrobial and resistant to mold

That’s why it’s the go-to material for EZPZ feeding sets, straw training systems, and pre-feeding tools trusted by pediatric therapists and parents alike.

Not All Silicone Is Created Equal

As with most baby gear, quality matters. Not every product labeled “silicone” is created with your child’s health in mind. Here’s what to look for:

Food-Grade (FDA-Grade) Silicone

Found in top-rated products like the EZPZ Happy Feeding Set, FDA-grade silicone is certified safe for direct food contact and daily use. It's highly durable, won’t leach chemicals, and holds up to heat, cold, and toddler chaos.

LFGB-Grade Silicone

Europe’s highest standard, LFGB-grade silicone undergoes more rigorous testing than FDA-grade. It’s especially popular for baby teething tools and infant utensils, and used in many premium feeding brands.

Platinum-Cured Silicone

This is the purest form of silicone—used in medical-grade baby gear, pacifiers, and other high-contact items. EZPZ uses top-tier, platinum-cured silicone across their core product line, including the EZPZ Pre-Feeding Set.

🧠 Pro tip: Always read the label and check for certifications when buying baby-led weaning gear or silicone toddler cups.

Why Parents Love Silicone Baby Products

Parents rave about silicone baby utensils for more than just safety. It’s the combination of performance, ease, and long-term value that wins over families:

  • ✔️ Gentle on teething gums

  • ✔️ Helps babies learn to self-feed with confidence

  • ✔️ Built-in suction (on sets like the EZPZ First Foods Set) helps reduce spills

  • ✔️ Stands up to daily use and frequent washing

  • ✔️ Safer alternative to plastic—no fillers, dyes, or toxic chemicals

Looking for baby spoons that won’t hurt sensitive gums? Try the EZPZ Tiny Spoons—soft, ergonomic, and just the right size for first bites.
