Pre-spoon
The perfect beginner spoon
What is a pre-spoon ?
With a pre-spoon, babies can practice eating independently, and more easily develop hand-mouth coordination. This then facilitates the transition to a regular spoon. Simply a perfect beginner spoon.
How is a pre-spoon ? used
- From 6 months, the baby can start practicing spoon-feeding with a pre-spoon to facilitate independent eating.
- It doesn't matter which side the baby eats from as both sides provide exercise and stimulation.
- All the child needs to do is place the spoon on the food for it to stick - the holes ensure that the food stays in the spoon.
- The spoon can be used from 4 months as part of introducing taste sensations. Dip the spoon in a little puree and give it to the baby.
Benefits of a pre-spoon
- Encourages independent eating from 6 months of age.
