Toddlers: Utensils

Home | Pregnancy | After Delivery | Babies | Toddlers | Preschoolers | Family

Spoons, Cups, Plates, Oh My!




Infants have special needs when it comes to eating utensils. These utensils include spoons, cups, plates, highchairs, and booster seats.

You can make it easier for your child to learn how to eat foods if you know which utensils work best.

   

Parents need to be sure their baby is ready to try infant spoons or cups. Your baby should be fed only breastmilk for at least six months.

Once your child stops pushing solid food out of their mouth with their tongue you may try certain solid foods, like iron-fortified cereal.
