The doddl difference

This is the doddl difference

doddl is the developmental mealtime brand for young children — and we exist for one reason: to make every mealtime matter. doddl is used by paediatric occupational therapists and feeding specialists, and in nursery settings around the world.

A family at the table together

Where other brands solve for aesthetics or convenience, doddl solves for your child. Every product we make is built around how your child actually develops — their physiology, their motor progression, their growing need for independence and their developing confidence.

We are evidence-led, expert-backed and parent-trusted — and there is simply no other brand like us. That is because we have years of research, investment and real-world proof.

  • The founder with her children

    A founder who lived the problem

    doddl was created by Cat — a parent of three children under two, who watched her daughter eat more successfully with a broken fork handle than she could with standard cutlery. That moment revealed a truth: children’s cutlery had never been designed for children.

  • Research and testing

    Built on years of genuine research

    Before doddl launched we spent years researching and testing with children, alongside child development experts from Norland College. The resulting product was independently safety-tested. Today a study is running in nursery settings in France.

  • The doddl toddler trio

    Engineered, not assembled

    A doddl product goes through nine separate manufacturing processes, using high quality materials chosen specifically for your child’s stage. Built to last years of daily use. Three meals a day, every day. Engineered to take it.

  • A child development expert

    Trusted by the people who know child development best

    Recommended by paediatric occupational therapists, feeding specialists and child nutritionists, and used in nurseries. Not marketing relationships — practitioners who use doddl because it works.
