Baby Feeding Spoons
It's an AIRPLANE! Bzzzzzz. Here comes the airplane! Open up! Wrrrrrr. Yumyumyumyumyum...
When it comes time to introduce solid foods to your baby, you'll want the experience to be as smooth and painless as possible. Sure those silver spoons are a nice keepsake from your relatives, but the best baby spoons are made of softer stuff. Save the sterling for photo opportunities and look for the following: - To protect your baby's sensitive gums, make sure the feeding spoon
 is made out of silicone or rubber.
- Some have loop handles to make holding the spoon easier for when baby wants to try feeding him or herself.
- This may be a good idea, but long handles might actually be better for the first feedings. You'll be able to reach the bottom of baby food jars a lot easier.
- Some baby spoons are designed to change color when exposed to extreme heat. These may help prevent burning your baby's mouth.
Before you tackle that first jar of mashed bananas, make sure to check in with your baby's pediatrician. Most doctor's don't advise introduction solids until 6 months. To read more about feeding solids to your baby check out these websites: Keep Kids Healthy and American Baby.
Here are a few more tips for the first meal:
- Make sure the baby is in a comfortable and upright position.
- Bring plenty of patience to the table.
- Don't attempt the first feeding when the baby is starving.
- The first food is usually cereal, check with your doctor before serving your baby his/her first meal. For more details on first foods, visit the Earth's Best website.
- Don't dress the baby in an outfit that can't resist stains...things are going to get messy.
- Have fun and don't forget the camera.
