Quick answer
Use the Give Peas a Chance Wonder Plate by first ensuring it's clean and dry, then pressing it firmly onto a flat, highchair tray to create a strong suction seal. Fill the three larger sections with balanced meal components and the dedicated dip compartment with a small amount of sauce or puree.
Why suction matters for self-feeding
The Wonder Plate's redesign focused on reducing frustration during self-feeding. A strong suction base prevents the plate from sliding or tipping when your baby grabs at it, which means less mess and more focus on eating. The plate is designed with input from a pediatric doctor to support developmental milestones.
How to use the Wonder Plate step by step
- Clean and dry the plate and surface: Wash the plate with warm soapy water and dry it completely. Wipe the highchair tray or table with a damp cloth and dry it too. Any moisture or residue can weaken the suction. Check that both surfaces are bone-dry before placing the plate.
- Position and press to seal: Place the plate centered on the tray. Press down firmly from the center outward, using your palm to push the air out from under the base. You should feel the plate grip the surface. If the plate lifts easily, lift it, re-press, and ensure no food crumbs are underneath.
- Fill the sections wisely: Add soft finger foods like steamed veggies, fruit, or pasta to the three large sections. Put a small amount of yogurt, hummus, or puree in the dip compartment. Avoid overfilling—keep portions small to reduce mess. Start with just a few pieces in each section to avoid overwhelming your baby.
- Let your baby explore, then remove: Allow your baby to self-feed under supervision. When mealtime is over, lift one edge of the plate to break the suction before removing it from the tray. Clean the plate promptly with warm soapy water. Never leave the plate stuck to the tray unattended—always supervise your child during meals.
