Why it works
From the start of weaning, to confident independent eating
The safest and easiest introduction to cutlery
Handles expertly shaped for your baby's tiny hand, helping to encourage grip development, as your baby starts to become familiar with cutlery.
Learning to scoop
The doddl bowl has strong suction keeping the bowl securely locked in position. With a raised back and oval shape, this makes learning to scoop much easier.
Developing confidence
As your baby becomes a toddler, the food they eat and the tableware they need changes. The doddl 2-in-1 plate and toddler cutlery is designed to make eating easy, reducing mess and boosting your child's skills and confidence.

I've been absolutely loving using the doddl cutlery set with my family. It's really helped my daughter to hone her skills around self-feeding with a spoon and fork.

My son loved eating at the family table with his doddl cutlery — he was participating in our family mealtimes before he was walking!

As a pediatric feeding therapist, the doddl toddler spoon, fork and knife set is one I recommend for 12 months and up. The stainless steel fork prongs help little ones poke food successfully, the ergonomic handles encourage a proper grip, and the spoon's tapered bowl suits little mouths while holding purees and soups.

“doddl cutlery is perfectly designed for a toddler’s hand and the short handle means it’s easier to control. But the best bit for me are the metal heads which make it easy for baby to scoop and fork food compared to chunky plastic heads which can be frustrating for young ones. One of my recommended weaning essentials!”

Your questions answered
Why would I invest in the mealtime set instead of buying the individual products?
Every child learns to feed themselves at their own pace. Some are ready for the next stage weeks early, while others need a little longer, and no age guide can tell you exactly when that moment will come.
That's why the doddl mealtime set puts our whole range in one box, from your baby's first spoonful at six months through to being school ready. With every stage ready and waiting, you can follow your child's lead rather than the calendar. You can offer the next step the moment they show they're ready, go back a stage if they need to, or let them try something new and see how they get on.
You won't have to wait for a delivery or guess what to buy next, and you won't miss the moment. It means less stress for you and the right tool at the right time for your child, so they build each skill with confidence.
The set comes in a choice of seven colours, five of which are exclusive to the set and not available individually, and it makes a thoughtful gift for new parents and baby showers.
What if my child isn’t ready for a stage yet?
Because every product you will need is in the mealtime set you can work through each product at your child's pace. You can introduce each product when you feel your child is ready, because every child develops at a different pace. If you have any questions about the mealtime set or how to introduce it, please email team@doddl.com and our specialist team will be happy to help.
Are doddl products dishwasher safe?
Yes, all nine pieces are dishwasher safe. The materials are very high quality and free from BPA, Phthalates and micro-plastics. doddl products are long lasting and designed to survive years of daily use.
Is it safe for a child to use the doddl knife?
Yes. The doddl toddler knife is certifed safe for toddlers. The unique design of the blade chops all food, but crucially will not cut skin. Your toddler can easily apply downward pressure to chop through all foods, which is the motion a two-year-old can actually produce, and it is designed to be used with supervision.
What ages does the Set cover?
6 months to 5 years (and beyond). Stage 1 from around 6 months, Stage 2 from around 12 months, Stage 3 from around 18 months-2 years. Remember every child develops at a different pace.
