Mummy Cooks uses silicone products because they are durable, safe, and ideal for busy family life. Silicone is heat-resistant, non-toxic, and easy to clean, making it perfect for preparing, storing, and serving homemade baby and family meals. By choosing silicone, Mummy Cooks supports practical, eco-friendly solutions that help parents feed their families with confidence.
Silicone is the safer choice for your babies and children
Silicone is a great choice for babies compared to single use plastic. At Mummy Cooks all our plastic used in our products are reusable and recyclable and certified BPA free and PVC free. Our weaning & portion pots are made from a BPA free material called Polypropylene (recycle mark 5).
Silicone is softer, more flexible, and provides a gentle touch on sensitive gums during teething. Silicone is free from toxins, making it a safe option for babies who are constantly putting things in their mouths. Additionally, silicone is more durable and resistant to wear and tear, meaning it won’t break down or degrade over time.
Soft On Babies Gums
When it comes to baby gums, silicone is soft and gentle enough to soothe without causing irritation. Many teething toys and baby products use medical-grade silicone because it's durable, flexible, and safe for babies to chew on. It also doesn't harbor bacteria, which is an important factor when it comes to baby products that go in their mouths. Our Quadopus Teether is a great option for 3m+ as it's easy for baby to hold, and gentle on gums
100% Baby Friendly
Food grade Silicone is not only safe for your baby, but is also BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalate-free, and lead-free.
Oven, Microwave & Freezer Safe
With a temperature range of -40°C to +230°C silicone is suitable for the oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher. This makes silicone perfect for preparing and storing food for baby, toddler or child. It’s one less thing to worry about as you juggle mealtimes and busy schedules.
More Independence and Less Mess
Self-feeding is a major milestone, and our silicone products are specifically designed to support that journey. Our Silicone Suction Divider Plates and Silicone Suction Bowls encourage baby-led weaning and self-feeding by providing raised edges that make it easier for little hands to scoop up food. The silicone material is sturdy enough to survive plate-flipping and food-throwing. These products encourage independence while reducing mess, making mealtime a more enjoyable experience for both baby and parents.
Environmentally Friendly
Silicone is known for its durability and long-lasting nature, which makes it a practical and eco-friendly choice for families. Unlike alternative plastic products on the shelf, our silicone products don’t crack, warp, or fade, even with daily use. This means fewer replacements, less waste, and better value in the long run. Plus, silicone is non-toxic and recyclable, making it an environmentally responsible choice that families can feel good about.
