O'doe vs Yum Yum's: ¿qué kit de alimentación complementaria merece la pena?

COMPARISON · WEANING

Starting your little one on solids is exciting, messy, and more than a bit overwhelming when you see just how many weaning sets are on the market. Two names that keep popping up in parent forums are the O'doe 15-Piece Weaning Set and the Yum Yum's 10-Piece Weaning Set, both promising to give you everything you need in a single box.

But they take very different approaches. One goes all-in on piece count and pure silicone convenience; the other blends silicone with natural wooden utensils and bets on design. We dug through hundreds of parent reviews across the community to find out which one actually delivers at the highchair.

What to look for in a weaning set

Before we get into the detail, here is what matters most when choosing an all-in-one weaning kit:

• Materials and safety – food-grade silicone is the gold standard: it is BPA-free, heat-resistant, and easy to sterilise. Wooden utensils look lovely but need different care.
• Suction strength – a plate or bowl that pops off the tray at the first grab defeats the purpose. Look for upgraded suction bases that genuinely hold firm.
• Dishwasher friendliness – with three meals a day plus snacks, hand-washing exceptions add up fast. Sets where every single piece goes in the dishwasher save real time.
• Piece count vs usefulness – more pieces sound impressive, but only if each one earns its spot. A freezer tray you will actually use beats a novelty item that sits in a drawer.
• Size progression – utensils in two sizes let your baby start with soft pre-spoons and graduate to proper forks, rather than buying a second set at twelve months.

1. O'doe 15-Piece Weaning Set / 10 · Best Overall

The O'doe set takes the kitchen-sink approach in the best way possible. Fifteen pieces cover every mealtime scenario: a suction plate and bowl for meals, a bib with a deep catcher pocket, two sizes of spoons and forks (small for 6-month starters, larger for toddlers), a sippy cup that converts between straw lid and snack cap, a fresh fruit feeder, a freezer tray with lid for batch-prepping purees, and even a baby toothbrush.

Everything is made from 100% food-grade silicone with no mixed materials, which means the entire set can go straight into the dishwasher, microwave, or freezer without a second thought. Parents consistently praise the silicone quality, describing it as thick, soft, and far from the flimsy feel of cheaper alternatives.

One parent told us: "I am just so in love with it – the silicone is phenomenal, not that cheap stuff. The suction is great on the plate and bowl, and my baby loves using these utensils better than anything else we have tried."

The suction bases use an upgraded design that holds plates firmly in place even with enthusiastic eaters. Several parents noted that their little ones could not yank the plate off until a parent deliberately released the suction tab.

What parents love

• Exceptional value for money – 15 pieces covering every mealtime need in one box, eliminating the hassle of buying items separately
• Premium silicone quality – thick, soft, and durable rather than flimsy, with parents noting it feels noticeably higher quality than budget alternatives
• Strong suction on plate and bowl – the upgraded suction base keeps dishes firmly in place even with the most determined little hands
• Fully dishwasher safe – because the entire set is silicone with no wooden or mixed-material components, everything goes straight into the dishwasher

What to know before you buy

• Bib runs large on younger babies – several parents noted the bib is oversized on a 6-month-old, though it grows into a better fit by 8 to 9 months
• Plate and bowl portions may feel small – the bowls and plates are sized for baby portions; parents with bigger eaters sometimes wished for a slightly larger plate
• No placemat included – unlike some competing sets, there is no silicone mat to protect the highchair tray or table surface

Best for

• First-time parents who want a single purchase that covers everything from weaning spoons to a fruit feeder and freezer tray
• Baby-led weaning families looking for self-feeding utensils in two progressive sizes
• Parents who prioritise easy cleanup – fully dishwasher safe with zero hand-wash-only pieces
• Gift-givers – the comprehensive piece count and attractive packaging make it a standout baby shower or christening present

2. Yum Yum's 10-Piece Weaning Set / 10 · Best on a Budget

The Yum Yum's set takes a different tack: fewer pieces, but each one designed with a keen eye for style. The colour palette and sleek shapes look genuinely premium on the table, and the gift-style packaging means it arrives ready to hand over at a baby shower without rewrapping.

Ten pieces cover the core mealtime essentials: a divided suction plate, a deep easy-scoop suction bowl, a silicone catching bib, a 2-in-1 snack and weaning cup with straw, a silicone placemat, plus wooden spoon and fork with silicone mini utensils. The inclusion of a placemat is a real plus – it protects highchair trays and tables, catching spills and making post-meal cleanup noticeably quicker.

The wooden utensils are a standout feature. The natural, textured grip is easier for small hands to hold than smooth silicone, and each piece includes a mouth guard that prevents the utensil being pushed too far into baby's mouth. That said, wood does come with trade-offs: the spoon and fork cannot go in the dishwasher, need to be dried properly, and can stain or absorb odours over time.

A parent shared: "After trying so many bowls my daughter could peel off, this one finally works! The suction is solid and clean-up is very easy."

What parents love

• Stylish, modern design – the colour palette and sleek shapes look premium on the table, with parents frequently commenting on the beautiful presentation and gift-worthy packaging
• Silicone placemat included – the mat protects highchair trays and tables, catching spills and making post-meal cleanup quicker
• Wooden utensils with mouth guards – the natural wooden grip gives babies a textured, easy-to-hold handle, and the mouth guard prevents utensils being pushed too far in
• Strong suction that actually works – parents who had struggled with other brands report this set's suction plate and bowl genuinely stay put

What to know before you buy

• Wooden utensils need hand-washing – the wooden spoon and fork cannot go in the dishwasher, splitting the cleanup routine; wood can also stain or absorb odours over time
• Suction not always strong enough for determined toddlers – while the suction works well initially, some parents noted that older or more persistent babies can peel the plate and bowl off
• No freezer tray or fruit feeder – the set focuses on tableware and does not include food-prep accessories, so parents may need to buy those separately

Best for

• Style-conscious parents who want weaning tableware that looks smart and coordinates with a neutral nursery aesthetic
• Parents starting earlier (from 4 months) with spoon-led or combination weaning, thanks to the wider stated age range
• Budget-minded families – at around £18 it undercuts many comparable sets while still including 10 well-made pieces plus a placemat
• Baby shower gift buyers – the premium packaging and attractive colour options make it a popular gifting choice

How to choose

If you want the most complete set out of the box – one purchase that covers plates, bowls, cups, multiple utensil sizes, a fruit feeder, and a freezer tray, all fully dishwasher safe – the O'doe 15-Piece is hard to beat at around £25. You are essentially paying £1.67 per piece for genuinely premium silicone.

If aesthetics matter to you, your budget is tighter, or you like the idea of natural wooden handles with built-in mouth guards, the Yum Yum's 10-Piece at around £18 is excellent value. Just factor in that you will be hand-washing the wooden cutlery and may want to add a freezer tray separately if you batch-prep purees.

Both sets use strong suction bases and food-grade silicone, and both are a far better deal than buying individual weaning items one at a time. Whichever you choose, your little one will be well kitted out for the weaning adventure.
