The transition to solid foods from breastmilk and formula can be daunting, but with our baby-friendly curved spoons, it doesn't have to be. Children should be encouraged to begin feeding themselves between 9–12 months old; however, at this age, they lack the motor skills required to use a regular spoon. Typical silverware requires turning the wrist, elbow, and shoulder, so babies and toddlers can't always make the journey from plate to mouth. This curved design is built for growing hands and minds and eliminates awkward maneuvering, which means less food on their bib and more in their tummies. Allowing children to feed themselves from a young age encourages a healthy relationship with food. Autonomous feeding allows kids to try new foods at their own pace, and it teaches them to determine when they are full. This helps prevent picky eating and portion control issues in the future. Mealtime shouldn't have to be a struggle. Kizingo's mission is to provide the supplies you need to help you and your little one enjoy mealtime. Say goodbye to doubt and guilt and hello to happier, healthier mealtimes.
