Product Description
Mealtimes go a little faster when you feed your baby with the right utensils. Our soft-tip infant spoons have a rounded shape that’s gentle on your baby’s gums. The special handle is ergonomically designed for a comfortable hold, and just the right length to reach the bottom of food jars. They’re practical, functional and colorful. What else can you ask from a spoon?… More >>
Pros:
*BPA-free
*Deep basin – deeper than any other spoon I tested, you can put and deliver more food to the baby’s mouth. Great for first foods containing a lot of liquid.
*Soft plastic tip helps to make sure that the baby’s upper lip holds on to some food
*Colors do not fade from washing or contact with food ( I only hand washed them, not sure what would happen if they went into dishwasher)
*Easy to hold for an adult feeding a baby, as far as you put them down only on a flat surface.
Cons:
*Spoons flip easily when left in first and second stage baby food jars, perhaps they are good for stage three, but I am switching to home made baby food and feed kids from shallow bowls
*Scratch easily because plastic is so soft – might be uncomfortable for baby’s mouth when scratched (and I only hand wash them, nothing scratchy ever used)
*Made in China (what is not nowadays)
*Warning from manufacturer: “Do not boil or steam sterilize” – I wonder why?
Overall: These spoons would be great if the handles were not so heavy. As soon as you leave this spoon in a baby food jar or in a small bowl it tips over and the food is on the table, on your lap, on the baby, on the floor…. This spoon handle is way too long and heavy.
After using them for a month for our six m/o twins we got these spoons: Meal Mates Colored Soft Bite Spoons – 5 pack by The First Years Meal Mates spoons do not have such a nice soft tip, there is not much room for the food on that spoon comparing to Munchkin soft-tip, but at least the spoons are not making somersaults. The Meal Mates also got discolored quickly. They are made of stainless steel with plastic coating on the tip. As usual these are made in China, but the manufacturer responded to my email request that they are BPA and Phthalates free.
I am going to try a pricey Avent spoon next Avent Weaning Spoons 2-pack, they are made in GB and are supposed to be free of all bad chemicals.
We still use Munchkin soft-tip for the foods that contain a lot of liquid, but while feeding two babies it’s easy to forget the spoon in the jar and sure enough it flipps.

After my weight loss surgery these were a lifesaver. Not only were they super cute but they were the perfect size to make sure I didn’t eat too much with one bite.

Love these spoons- they don’t get as goopy when resting in the food bowl because they are longer- however- I was disappointed to see them less than a week later- cheaper at Target!

I wish they had these when I had my first child, these spoons are wonderful. They have a nice long handle, and they tip is small, but not to small. It has a nice scoop to it, it is the perfect spoon. My 4 month old eats out of them perfectly. They are nice and soft, but durable!

I like these spoons a lot more than I thought I would.
I like the fact that they hold a decent amount of food. If your baby is a pretty big eater and likes to eat quickly, these spoons will help so that he doesn’t get frustrated easily when food isn’t getting to his mouth as quickly as he would like.
I also like the fact that there are 6 spoons in this pack vs. having to buy spoons individually. Inevitably, some spoons will make it to the floor while trying to feed your little one, so it’s much easier reaching for a clean spoon to continue the current feeding and then washing the first one later on when the feeding is over.
The tips have not hurt my little fellow’s gums and he’s been teething since he was about 3 months old. Currently, he’s almost 7 months old and no teeth yet, but his gums are constantly swollen. However, he has never cried because we’ve hurt his gums with these spoons.
I’m happy with these spoons. I’m very happy that I didn’t have to purchase other spoons first before finding these. I would buy them again and recommend it to anyone. You will be happy with your purchase.
