These are a favorite among feeding therapists because there is no scooping, no balancing, and no wrong way to hold them, which means less frustration for baby and caregiver alike. The pre-spoon shape works with the natural grasp pattern babies already have, building the hand-to-mouth coordination that lays the foundation for independent self-feeding, and because baby is in control of what goes in their mouth, they tend to be more willing to explore new foods. Before food is even introduced, they double as a pre-feeding teether, helping baby get comfortable with the sensation of a utensil in their mouth so that mealtime feels familiar right from the start.
