Meal times become learning opportunities from the very first months. To encourage babies to eat independently while respecting their motor skills, the choice of cutlery is essential. At Lilinappy, we offer a selection of ergonomic baby cutlery, designed to promote autonomy, confidence… and limit frustration!
Our cutlery is specifically designed to adapt to the still clumsy hands of toddlers. Their shape, size, material, and grip have been carefully considered to facilitate learning movements while ensuring the baby's safety.
Among our partner brands:
- Grabease offers ultra-stable spoons with vertical handles, ideal from the beginning of diversification or for baby-led weaning (BLW).
- Nanna's Manners provides cutlery with textured handles, designed to guide natural movements and develop fine motor skills.
- Lässig and Doodle offer sets of spoons, forks, and knives adapted to different stages, made with safe and durable materials.
- These baby utensils are BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free, and tested according to current standards. Some models are dishwasher-safe, and others are designed to accompany babies for several months or even years.
Frequently Asked Questions – Choosing the Right Baby Cutlery:
At what age can you offer cutlery to a baby?
As soon as the baby shows interest in eating independently, often around 6-8 months. Spoons with a vertical grip are perfect for starting.
Should I choose flexible or rigid cutlery?
It depends on the stage. The first flexible spoons are ideal for beginners. Then, rigid and ergonomic models help structure the movement.
Should I buy a knife for my child?
Yes, but a safe knife, like the Doodle, which cuts food but not skin, allows the child to learn without danger.
What material should I choose?
Food-grade silicone, recycled plastic, stainless steel: each material has its advantages. The essential aspects are safety and an adapted grip.
