Junior Editor Bonita added,

"I had a Beaba baby cook when my daughter was weaning and at first I wonder if I had been sucked in that 'buy everything' mode when you first have a baby. But, this was probably one of my most used gadgets. I loved preparing and reheating food in it as it was so convenient at busy mealtimes - and I would totally have got this colour - I mean its rose-gold - whats not to LOVE?"

THE GOLD AWARD FOR BEST BABY FEEDING PRODUCT DESIGN IS... LITECUP

Litecup Baby supports that bottle to cup transition, during the vital weaning stages and is the only non-spill baby cup that lights up in the dark. Litecup Baby is the unique solution to transitioning baby from bottle (or breast) to open cup and a vital part of their development.

Litecup baby also allows little ones to get to grips with the next stage of drinking, by sucking from anywhere around the 360° rim for a natural drinking style that is dentist approved in supporting oral health development.

The clever off-set removable textured grip handles allow your child to choose the grip position most comfortable for them and makes it easier for little fingers to grasp but, the most unique part the light sensitive litebase emits a soothing glow in the dark making nighttime drinking a little easier. Or, the security ribbon and safety clip can be fastened to baby’s high chair or buggy straps during the day.

THE SILVER AWARD FOR BEST BABY FEEDING PRODUCT DESIGN IS... COMOTOMO

Comotomo have set out resolve all the existing problems with standard baby bottles with its Silicone Baby Bottle. But, what makes Comotomo bottles a little different is that they are designed with a wide mound and a naturally shaped nipple to help babies make a seamless switch from breast to bottle. Helping to deal with ‘nipple confusion’ and ‘bottle rejection’ - has helped it be coined by many mums as the “Breastfeeding in a Bottle” bottle.

As well as being made with baby's comfort foremost in the mind - the soft, skin-like silicone material of the bottle offers a soothing, calming touch and better grip for those active baby hands during feeding time, the clever super wide opening means they can be easily cleaned them by hand, without the need for a bottle brush saving time and the smart non-leaking dual air-vents helps to prevent colic too - making Comotomo a very deserving winner of our Junior Design Silver Award.
