« Spoons are too shallow - even for a beginner »

These spoons are very shallow, which I thought would be a good thing - make it easier to transfer the food from the spoon into my son's mouth when he was just beginning to eat rice cereal. But since the spoon is also thick because of the silicone coating, the food just ended up being pushed off the spoon by his lips, so now I never even use them because it makes feeding too messy. I also bought the Munchkin Soft-Tip Infant Spoons... those are great and cost about half the price of the these spoons. I recommend getting those instead. I should have just bought two packs of the Munchkin spoons and saved some money.

« Just ok »

These spoons are ok, no more, no less. So if you are looking for a decidedly average spoon - this is it.

Pros:
It's not too deep, so food does not get left on the spoon.
It does actually change color when food is too hot.

Cons:
It's a bit wide for younger babies.
It stains when you feed your baby home made food with strong colors, such as carrots
Does not have the best grip for parents.

We've found the Georg Jensen espresso spoons to be the best spoons for our son:

« Waste of money »

I got these spoons because it was traditional. All babies seem to start with these types of spoons. Yes they were a good size for her mouth, and when she was just starting to eat solids @ 5 1/2 mos and was biting down I thought it was protecting her gums. The spoon well was so shallow that food just ran off it and she didn't get much with each bite. The handle was also short and uncomfortable for me to hold. It just didn't sit right in my hand. I quickly switched (within a week) to the Munchkin brand and was 10 times happier with those ones. Her gums were fine and boy does she bite down, and they are BPA free and safer for her to play with now that she tries to take it from me. And the comfort for my feeding her is so much better with the long plastic ones over these short metal rubber ones. I think these weren't necessary and a waste of money since I only used them for about a week, but I got them because being a first time mom, I thought that's what all babies started out with.

« Great for infants! »

These sppons are great, and I definitely recommend them. As a new mom, I wasn't sure it was necessary to go with special covered spoons for my baby, but I am now a firm believer! My 4 month-old son bites down on the spoon when he gets excited and really likes what he is eating (bananas!!). I can definitely imagine his gums getting hurt if they weren't covered.
All of the spoons have been used and washed multiple times now, with no problems what-so-ever! They are also the perfect size for baby feeding. Overally, I definitely recommend them!

« like that they're bpa free »

A spoon's a spoon, it gets the job done. I purchased these over others because they're BPA free. Not sure how they hold up in the dishwasher as I choose to handwash all his stuff, but I'm happy with my purchase and would buy them again.
