Baby's First Foods
When it comes to baby's first foods, there are two methods of introducing solids. The traditional method includes baby being spoon-fed purees by an adult, in contrast to the Baby-Led Weaning method which consists of skipping purees and giving baby finger-foods that the family is eating at mealtime.
No matter the method you choose to start baby’s first foods, Bumkins has you covered with helpful mealtime solutions. We have carefully designed gear to fit around each method’s needs. Learn more below about the gear tailor to the traditional method of baby’s first foods.

Comes in a set of three
Introduce baby to purees with this set of starter spoons. Silicone Dipping Spoons are made from 100% food-safe silicone that is soft and gentle on gums, and the spoon is sized for baby's small mouth.In the world of baby’s first food, it’s not uncommon for spoons to hit the floor, so this three-pack means you will always have a clean spoon handy. Plus, as baby grows, they tend to explore for themselves, meaning you may find baby holding a spoon in each hand while you continue feeding them. Thankfully, this three-pack of baby’s first spoons means you have one for each hand!
Product Features:
Grows With Baby
Double ended, multi use
Silicone Dipping Spoons are double-ended to grow with baby—one side for dipping into purees, the other for scooping.
As baby begins to want to feed themselves, this spoon gives them the ability to learn the motions of self-feeding while under the supervision of an adult.
One End for Dipping
Great for hand-eye coordination
As baby is just getting familiar with the feeding process, the dipping end of the spoon is great for learning the motions of self-feeding.
The dipping end of the spoon is flat, with grooves on both sides to easily grasp those purees and mashed first foods. Thanks to those grooves, both sides of the dipping end allow for a successful dip; there's no wrong way to dip! This helps baby to feel accomplished while first learning and encourages them to keep trying!
One End for Scooping
Graduating to the big bites
Once baby has mastered the motion of dipping and landing in the bowl, the opposite end of the spoon becomes more interesting. Sized for baby's small mouth, this end of the spoon allows for perfect-sized first bites. Now, baby can work on the full scoop-motion and get a spoonful.
Platinum Cured Silicone
The better kind of silicone
Silicone is extremely durable, easy to care for, and safe to use. During creation, silicone can be "cured" with two types of curing agents. We use the best one - platinum. When cured with platinum, there are no by-products created, and the silicone's already fabulous qualities are amplified. Learn more about silicone here.
Dishwasher Safe
Making clean-up a breeze
Silicone is extremely durable, which means it's dishwasher safe. Wash your Bumkins dishware however you see fit, but rest assured, the days of handwashing dishes are in the past with silicone.
