Switching to baby spoons that are widely available. Before giving baby his or her first food, make sure to check a few things out.
* Check with your paediatrician. Is baby really ready for food?
* Check the spoon size and materials. You don't want baby struggling with a spoon that's too big, or too hard for his or her mouth.
* Check the temperature. Babies are sensitive to hot and cold things in their mouths; check the temperature before feeding baby. Many spoons are available that do this for you.
* Check to see what needs to be covered. Investing in a bib is a good plan, since they're easier to wash than upholstery and carpet.
* Check the food. Make sure it's age appropriate for baby
* Have fun!
