The best baby utensils are made from silicone. This material is far safer than plastic. It is soft, smooth, and flexible. Your baby will love chewing on it after they are done eating to satisfy their aching gums.
Silicone can be hand washed or put in the dishwasher for easy cleaning or sterilization purposes. It's easy for little fingers and hands to grip because it is non-slip. The same goes for purees! When using a silicone spoon, pureed foods stay in place and don't’ slide around!
Many baby utensils are also made from plastic. This is an affordable option and the tools can be safe to use as long as they are BPA-free.
Stainless steel is another popular material used in baby utensils. Strong and sturdy, steel is safe, easy to clean, and is very long lasting. Oftentimes parents pass down a stainless steel set from one generation to another.
