Description:
This soft yet firm learning spoon helps infants move from purees to independent feeding while reducing spillage and frustration. Designed for babies from six to eighteen months, the set combines a shallow first-stage spoon for cereals and smooth purees with a thicker second-stage spoon for chunkier textures, making baby spoons for self feeding easier to introduce during mealtimes.
Key Points
The flat, innovative shape means little wrist rotation is needed, so food stays on the spoon more reliably during the early stages of self-feeding. The handle is thicker and shorter than adult cutlery, giving small hands a more secure grip and clearer control. The first-stage spoon is shallow for cereals and smooth purees, while the second-stage spoon has a slightly deeper bowl and firmer tip for thicker or lumpy foods.
Made from soft silicone that is rigid enough to mimic a conventional spoon, these utensils combine feeding and teething benefits. Micro-textures on the utensil surface offer gentle gum relief during teething, so mealtimes can double as soothing moments. 😊

Advantages
The compact, tactile design supports progressive learning. Initially, the flat spoon reduces the coordination required to bring food to the mouth. As skills develop, the firmer second spoon helps the child practise scooping and transferring thicker foods. Parents and caregivers may appreciate that the spoons are easy to hold and rinse between courses. 🍽️
According to the manufacturer, these spoons meet EU safety requirements and are recommended by some nutritionists and baby-led weaning experts for encouraging autonomy at mealtimes. The soft silicone edge is gentle on gums while the overall rigidity helps familiarise infants with the feel of a regular spoon.
Usage Recommendations
Use the shallow first-stage spoon for milk cereals and smooth purees, then introduce the second-stage spoon when the child begins to manage thicker textures. Avoid microwave heating of the utensils and do not use steam sterilisation, as this may damage the silicone. Consider that overly flexible spoons can hinder learning, so the firmer construction here is intentional. If your baby has specific oral-motor needs consult a paediatric professional for tailored advice. 🍼.
