We have all asked ourselves, “Will he eat with his hands forever?” Teaching our kids to use utensils is no tiny feat. It comes with practice and, of course, having the right gear on hand makes it just a little easier. Like it seems to be with all baby gear these days, the market is saturated! Team NIP did the legwork for you and found out which forks and spoons moms like you cannot live without. We interviewed dozens of moms, spoke to product designers, and of course, put products to the test with our very own kiddos.
As always, all of the products we recommend here have undergone safety testing that meet and often exceed the standards required in the U.S. Another important consideration is that there seem to be two distinct categories of utensils. First, the products for those kids that already know how to self-feed, we call these standard utensils. Second, the utensils designed to help little ones learn how to eat on their own, we call these teaching utensils. While very valuable, we found the products designed to teach babies how to self-feed are not necessarily the utensils kids use into toddlerhood and beyond.
