Best Baby Spoons

When it comes to giving baby those first bites of food, things tend to get messy, fast—which is why it’s helpful to have a stash of top-notch baby spoons.

The best baby spoons dole out perfect bite-size portions, and fit easily inside your little one’s mouth. And since most infants begin teething around the same time they’re being introduced to solids (around the four- to six-month mark), you’ll want to opt for baby utensils with soft tips made from silicone or other food-grade materials to avoid irritating sore gums. Whether you’re gearing up for self-feeding or want something affordable and easy to clean, these clever utensils are mealtime must-haves.

The tapered shape of the spoon is great for little mouths, and the soft tips are gentle on irritated gums. Plus, these utensils are dishwasher-safe as well as BPA- and phthalate-free, making these some of the best baby spoons around.
