The Salmon Luke me-feed-me baby feeding bowl and baby cutlery sets.,
The Salmon Luke me-feed-me™ collection
Salmon Luke’s me-feed-me dinnerware, is designed for families wanting to help their children develop self-feeding skills and independence and make mealtimes more rewarding for children and fuss-free for parents. Me-feed-me is the ultimate in feeding utensils and combines a unique patented design with 21st century material technology.
What's the age range and How does it work?
Children aged from 12 months up to 5 years of age really enjoy using me-feed-me. It’s the only dinnerware to have three patented easy-scoop corners, to guide food onto cutlery, making self-feeding more rewarding and less frustrating for your child. The rim of our bowl curves inwards, which cleverly directs food back onto the cutlery preventing food from spilling over the sides. The bowl’s ultra-grippy base keeps it steady on the table, further helping your child to eat independently and also stops the majority of those messy mealtime accidents.
What’s Hygienik™ and how does it protect my family?
Traditional plastic tableware is easily scratched, resulting in microscopic grooves where bacteria can live and multiply, high levels of bacteria can lead to tummy upsets or sometimes more serious illness. Me-feed-me dinnerware is made from Hygienik™, a material exclusive to Salmon Luke, which gives all our dinnerware self-sterilising properties, and is independently certified to protect your child against illness causing bacterial such as salmonella, E.coli and MRSA. Even repeated washing, scrubbing or scratching does not affect Hygienik's™ bacteria fighting performance.
Self-Sterilising
Finally, Salmon Luke's products are exclusively made from Hygienik™ a material unique to them, which give our dinnerware self-sterilising properties. Hygienik™ has been independently tested to stop the growth of illness-causing bacteria such as MRSA, E. coli and salmonella.
What’s so special about the me-feed-me bowl?
One of the biggest problems with traditional bowls is that children often find it to hard to get the food onto the spoon without it flipping over the sides, which makes a mess and wastes food. Children can spend ages chasing food round the bowl, as there are no places for them to trap the food and scoop it up. This can cause frustration for the child and sometimes puts them off self-feeding, preferring mum to do it for them instead.
Here's how the Me-feed-me bowl works...
Patented Corners
Salmon Luke designed a bowl with three cutlery shaped corners, which firstly trap the food and stops your toddler having to chase their dinner round in circles. Then the patented profile of the corners helps guide the food onto the spoon. The clever shape then trims the excess food from around the spoon to produce neat portion sized helpings. This helps them become more successful at scooping up food, and prevents them attempting to transfer mounds of food, which has a tendency to fall off, toward their mouth.
Waved shaped sides
In addition, the sides of the Me-feed-me bowl are completely unique as they curve inwards, just like the shape of a wave. This does a great job of pushing the food back onto the cutlery and not over the sides. The makes far less mess and gives your child every chance to self-feed successfully.
It stays put
What’s more, Salmon Luke developed a chunky stable shape and added a ultra-soft, supper-grippy rubber to the base, which means it's less likely to be tipped over or move around the high chair and end up on the floor.
The bowl sounds good but surely all cutlery is the same, right? What’s so special about the me-feed-me cutlery?
The Salmon Luke me-feed-me cutlery is like no other available on the market today. Three years of research has gone into designing the perfect cutlery for small hands. The short tapered handles combined with the flat underside are specially designed to encourage the correct grip position, something which is really important if your child is to become successful at self-feeding. The head of the spoon and fork are constructed to prevent food falling off on its journey from plate to mouth.
Salmon Luke took a fresh look at children’s cutlery and found that existing products seemed to be designed for looks rather than functionality and didn't really help toddlers self-feed successfully.
Early on in their research they realised that children who are starting to self–feed tend to hold the very tip of their cutlery handle. This means they have a relatively long utensil, which is hard to control, protruding from their fist. Unsurprisingly, they find it difficult to get this unwieldy tool in to their mouths.
To remedy this, Me-feed-me cutlery has a thinner tapered end to discourage handle tip holding and is chunky and bulbous at the point of the correct grip position. This design makes successful self-feeding more likely, as it encourages your toddler to hold the soft, comfortable part of the handle, which is also the correct grip position. This means they position their hands in a way which gives them more control and makes it more likely that food will end up in their mouths.
What’s more, research showed that in the early stages of self-feeding children using rounded cutlery were likely to twist it around in their hands which made it harder for them to feed themselves. Salmon Luke experimented with several designs, and finally found that cutlery with a flat underside was more likely to keep the cutlery – and the food – horizontal on its journey from bowl to mouth.
Me-feed-me Cutlery also has a clever little tail at the bottom so the spoon and fork don’t roll over when placed on a flat surface. This helps with the baton passing technique. This is where mum loads one spoon with food and places it on the table next to the child, who grabs the full spoon, letting go of the empty one, for mum to load again.
What’s so special about the me-feed-me spoon?
Ordinary children’s spoons hold food in quite a shallow area. Anything placed in the spoon tends to balance right on the top, which makes it easier for food to come out. Unfortunately, food then often leaves the spoon before it reaches your toddler’s mouth.
The Me-feed-me spoon is designed with a deep head which holds the food safely until it reaches its destination. Salmon Luke also made the back of the spoon higher than the front. This stops food sliding off the back when your toddler lifts the spoon toward their mouth.
What’s so special about the me-feed-me fork?
If you look at the Me-feed-me fork design, you will see that it’s different to any other children's fork. It's designed it to be gentle on your toddler’s mouth, but the unique prong design makes it very effective at piercing the food, and holding it safely in place until it reaches its hungry target.
