Scoop, nibble, soothe! Dr. Brown's Silicone Starter Spoon safely feeds and eases sore teething mouths while encouraging the transition to solid foods. Just scoop a little food into the flat spoon made for little mouths, give it to baby to help hold, and let them suck and chew on the spoon. The motion of bringing an object to their mouth with food on it can help them smoothly graduate to eating with utensils. , , The Silicone Starter Spoon's ring shape makes it easy for little hands to hold, while the textured arms massage sore gums. Plus, combining texture with pureed or soft foods can help baby start to associate texture with food, which may help them transition to more complex foods with more tongue stability.
