Monkey just recently started her first foray into the land of solids, which are mistakenly referred to as such since they're really goopey, messy purees but anyhow.As I mentioned, I research the heck out of ANYTHING before I buy it so even something as small as baby spoons was no exception!
My mother thought I was ridiculous devoting so much time to...spoons, but let me tell you, I think it was time well spent! :)
I was weary of spoons with 'heat indicators' not knowing what chemicals were in them and I was scared of plasticy spoons that didn't indicate they were BPA free.
I ended up purchasing Angel Care spoons which come in packs of 2 for $8.These are AWESOME! They're made of food grade silicone so they're safe and super bendy for when Monkey tries to poke herself in the eye with them. The handle is long enough for you to get it all the way in the baby food jar. So far, no staining from any of the foods we've tried and Monkey sometimes likes to use these spoons as teething aids (2 for 1! A spoon and teether! Sweet!)
Be warned, due to the bendiness of this spoon, it may be used as a catapault.
They're super easy for even babies to hold so Monkey was self-feeding with this spoon from the first day we tried solids (and I use the term "self-feeding" loosely as most of the food went everywhere but in her mouth but anyhow...).
I would definitely highly recommend these as baby's first spoons.
