We truly believe that both baby and mummy, should be rewarded from time to time - and you can get them all here, at Jumping Baby Jacks. The spoon and fork both have short handles like the NumNum GOOtensils, and also has a choking guard. You can imagine how much of a nightmare it is when children use adult spoons and have to rotate them to gather the food. At Motherswork, we understand that urgent needs can arise beyond our daily same-day service cut-off times.

Food-grade silicone is great unbreakable an alternative to plastic and porcelain, it is also practical in terms of maintenance, being usable as such in the dishwasher than in the microwave. The problem is, wrist rotation takes up to a year (or more) for babies to master which leads to frustration- for parent and baby! But the other half that makes it into her mouth is partially due to the NumNum Pre-Spoon GOOtensils. The stage one GOOtensil™ has textures that grab just enough food to give a taste of self-feeding independence. NUM NUM's mission is to develop innovative products that encourage the little ones' exploration, which translates into a very positive learning experience that fosters their independence and self-confidence.Both spoons are designed to help toddlers and babies just dip the spoon into food without having to rotate their wrist, and lift it up. Another downside is that they don't have a choking guard and are labeled as choking hazards for children under 3, so you need to be careful not to let your kids play with them when it's not mealtime. Just replaced my sons beloved cuddle toy that we had lost, and the friendly man took the tags off straight away for us to give my son.

Most meals he feeds himself anyway because it’s stuff he can pick up, but he has those Gerber microwave oat/ barley/ fruit things for breakfast and that’s a spoon situation. We'd have the second spoon ready waiting for her to finish the first one then present it for her to swap on her own. For kids who have mastered the food-to-mouth motion, the stage two GOOtensil™ is perfect for thicker blends and pre-loading with solids. Even with this being the case, I am following her lead, and I give her both spoons so that she can decide what works for her. Your child should always be supervised anytime they are eating, but make sure you're extra cautious with these spoons.Best of all, there's no wrong way to hold it, thanks to its secret: a thick contoured handle that provides a secure, no-slip grip. These awesome with sparkling moving particles drinking bottles with straws they catch the eye and are useful companions on trips, in kindergarten, at school, at the zoo. Once your toddler shows signs of wanting to self-feed, pre-load the stage one GOOtensil with food and place it on their plate or in their hand. With other baby spoons, I worry that pieces will break off when my daughter uses them as a teether, but with these, there's no cause for concern. Judy Delaware and Megan McNamee started Feeding Littles to empower parents and caregivers to raise adventurous, intuitive eaters.

US company NumNum focuses on creating innovative products to make the child's self-feeding journey more carefree. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. NumNum’s innovative and effective approach to baby feeding has turned mealtime meltdowns into mealtime memories, supporting thousands of families in their starting solids journeys. Even though Ellie couldn't use the spoons herself when she first started eating at 6 months, I exposed her to the NumNum GOOtensils by putting a preloaded spoon of food on her tray.If your baby is just starting solids, or if your toddler is learning how to use utensils, I highly recommend trying out these pre-spoons — they were a great help for my daughter.

When my daughter started eating solids at 6 months old, things became a lot more complicated than just giving her a bottle of milk. It seems strange to have a spoon with a hole in the middle, but the Stage 2 spoon with the hole uses surface tension to "pick up" purees and other foods of similar consistency, which one of the NumNum founders explains in a video here.

Once learned the basic movement of bringing the spoon closer to the mouth, it's helpful to switch to the Stage 2 pre-spoon. I have noticed lately that after eating with her NumNum spoons, she sits back and eases her little gums by chewing on the rubbery spoon tips. I noticed a trend on social media, where parents seem almost forced to choose between serving purees or finger food (also known as baby led weaning).
