Rethinking the Baby Spoon

Bambu's baby utensils are made of bamboo, which makes them not only sustainable but also exceptionally lightweight ($6 for two pieces; bambuhome.com).

The ergonomic stainless steel spoon in the Knuddel Child's Set for WMF fits in small hands perfectly ($35 for four pieces; wmf-usa.com).

Nicolas Trüb's Babyplane spoon, in pink or blue, will please any traveler-in-training and, at the very least, inspire babies to open their mouths ($15; pylones-usa.com).
