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. Baby Livia is a Norwegian brand with a selection of practical and stylish high-quality baby products. 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.

DESIGNED FOR LITTLE HANDS AGES 6-18 MONTHS: This clever Pre-Spoon, tailored for tiny hands, eliminates scooping and balancing struggles.The stage one GOOtensil has textures that grab just enough food to give a taste of self-feeding independence. They were designed not only to be little spoons for little hands, but also to make the self feeding experience a little easier for them.

Introduce stage one pre-spoon (with raised textures) first so child can soothe their sore gums as they are getting acclimated to holding the utensil. Unlike a spoon, the head is flat, so there's no scooping, no balancing, and no wrong way to hold it! This can happen as early as 6 months, but most kids are truly ready to tackle utensils somewhere between 10 to 14 months. Petit Monkey is a Dutch children's brand with a unique and cheerful design language, whose products are created in collaboration with talented illustrators.My 7 month old has really started getting arsey if we try to feed him with a spoon, but if you hand him the preloaded spoon he will eat it. The innovative flat design makes it easier to use than a spoon because there is no scooping, no balancing and no wrong way to hold it. Easier to use than a conventional spoon as the head is flat so the baby doesn't need to turn your wrist.

Designed for use with purees and other food blends, a NumNum GOOtensil™ is a pre-spoon that makes self-feeding easier for little ones just starting utensils. These are the perfect utensils for baby because it allows them to feed themselves before they have mastered the wrist rotation required for a spoon.Grab a multi-pack to ensure you always have one (or two or three) on hand for our favorite meal time hack: while your child is chomping on one GOOtensil, load up the next and hand it over to keep their empty hand busy. Your child should always be supervised anytime they are eating, but make sure you're extra cautious with these spoons. 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. For bubs who have mastered the food-to-mouth motion, the stage two GOOtensil™ is perfect for thicker purees. It eliminates some of the coordination normally needed for self-feeding, since there's no dished-out bowl.
