Winner:GOLD- Best Feeding Product Design (Baby)

Who:TUM TUM

What:Stainless Steel Tippy Up Cups (Boris, Betsy, Fergus & Pete

Why:

These adorable stainless steel cups were praised on so many levels. Everyone could see how appealing the cute animal character lids would be to little kids, encouraging them to drink and stay hydrated. The easy-to-clean, BPA free stainless steel was also seen a huge plus. With double-walled thermal insulation that keeps drinks cool for up to 10 hours and plus handy replacement straws, the panel agreed that these were the perfect cups for family trips and outings.

"Easy to use and a great design."

Julia Diogo, Manicurist, @paintedbyjools

"Love these cups. They’re great to use, super cute designs and easy to wash."

Laura Coleman, Model & Content Creator @misslauracoleman

"Beautiful design with colours and animal tops. Good use of stainless steel. Free flow when open and leakproof when closed allowing the child to drink easily - useful in those children who struggle with muscle tone."

Winner:SILVER - Best Feeding Product Design (Baby)

Who:Munchkin

What:Silicone Baby Food Feeder

Why:

The JDA judges loved Munchkin’s cleverly designed Silicone Baby Food Feeder, offering a safe, easy way to introduce purees and encourage self-feeding. The panel admired the controlled-flow hole that reduces choking risk, the snap-on cap for travel and fridge storage, and the soft silicone pouch that’s gentle on teething gums. With a handle sized for little hands and easy cleaning, it’s a clever, mess-free step towards independence.

"Easy and practical design - functions super well.'

Julia Diogo, Manicurist, @paintedbyjools

"Have used these with all of my children. They are just the best! Love that they can try new foods early on during weaning without the risk of choking, I really enjoy using these and they’re also so easy to wash of carry in your bag anywhere!"

Laura Coleman, Model & Content Creator @misslauracoleman

"Fun way to introduce solids to weaning allowing for new flavours but with safer feeding. The soft silicone pouch can work well for teething babies, especially with chilled fruit or frozen puree."

Dr Monika Sharma, NHS GP, @lifewithdoctormom

Winner:BRONZE - Best Feeding Product Design (Baby)

Who:Elodie

What:Baby Bib Powder Pink

Why:

ADORABLE! Was the word that fluttered around this beautiful powder pink bib with the sweetest ruffled edges. As well as being exceedingly pretty, this bib is extremely practical, Our judges loved its extended shoulder-to-chest coverage and wide, rounded wings offering far more protection than a standard bib. The panel admired the flexible front pocket, designed to catch crumbs and capable of holding up to a cup of liquid. A great quick dry bib that dramatically reduces soggy and food covered outfits.

"It looks so pretty but it is brilliantly designed to protect clothes and folds flat for easy storage and travel. A beautiful piece of design."

Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior, @juniormagazineonline

"Cute design, bigger than a usual bib which is great for mess."

Julia Diogo, Manicurist, @paintedbyjools

"My favourite bibs of all time. Not only functional, they are really easy to wash, look so chic and cute, and the children love to wear them."

Laura Coleman, Model & Content Creator @misslauracoleman

"Functionality meets beautiful design."
