Bumkins Chewtensils® are intended for Stage 1 of baby-led weaning—for babies beginning to practice feeding themselves by holding utensils. The food-safe silicone is safe for teething babies. The fork and spoon are made from soft, textured silicone that’s easy to grip and gentle on tender gums, with bendable heads for safety. The back of the spoon head has sensory bumps to stimulate gums. Weighted, textured handles allow little ones to hold while they begin to practice eating by themselves. Bumkins Chewtensils are best for practicing dipping and scooping, not yet piercing solid foods.
