What Types of Utensils are Recommended for Different Age Groups?
For infants around 4-6 months old, soft-tipped spoons are recommended as they are gentle on the gums. As children grow, usually around 9-12 months, they can be introduced to spoons with larger handles to aid grip. By the time they reach toddler age, around 18 months, they can start using a fork with rounded prongs to practice piercing soft foods.
