The best baby spoons for weaning

If the time has come to wean your baby onto solids, you'll need an efficient way to feed her, that won't risk damaging her erupting teeth or tender gums.

A baby spoon should be made from a soft material and the tip should be small enough to only provide a tiny portion of food with every scoop.

We've done all the research for you and come up with this list of the best baby spoons for weaning.
