How it works

The Soft-Tip Feeding Spoon pairs a parent-length handle with a shallow, flexible tip that carries a small, lickable bite of puree. At 6.46 inches long, the handle gives the feeding parent control and reach, while the 0.96 inch tip is sized for a baby's mouth and gentle on gums.

Why parents choose it

  • Parent-length handle gives the adult feeding control and reach
  • Shallow tip holds a small, lickable bite of puree
  • Flexible silicone tip is gentle on gums at first tastes
  • 0.96 inch wide tip, sized for a baby's mouth

Who it is for

Good fit for
  • A parent spoon feeding purees, which is the job this spoon shape is for. Tagged 6 to 12 months.
  • The first weeks of solids, before a baby takes the spoon over.
  • Two spoons, so one can be in the wash.
Not right for
  • A baby feeding themselves. The training spoon is the self-feeding shape.
  • A toddler ready for a fork.
  • Finger foods, which need no spoon at all.

The long handle and shallow, flexible tip give parents good control for responsive spoon-feeding, small lickable bites that follow baby's pace, not the parent's.

More about this one

Parent spoon or self-feeding spoon first?

The Soft-Tip Feeding Spoon is the parent spoon, shaped for the first weeks of solids when an adult offers the puree. Its long handle is for the adult's hand and its shallow tip offers small bites. When your baby starts taking the spoon over, the Olababy Training Spoon is the self-feeding shape, and the Baby Spoon Set includes one of each.

Why is spoon feeding discouraged?

Spoon feeding is not discouraged in itself; the common advice is to let the baby set the pace. The Soft-Tip Feeding Spoon suits that approach: its shallow tip holds a small, lickable bite at the baby's lips, and the long handle lets the parent hold it steady while the baby leans in or turns away.

What is included

2 soft-tip feeding spoons.

How to clean it

Dishwasher safe (top rack).

More questions (7)

Is it okay that my baby chews on it?

Yes, mouthing and chewing are a normal part of learning to eat, and soft silicone is gentle on developing gums and teeth.

What utensils are best for baby led weaning?

Soft silicone utensils sized for baby hands work best for baby led weaning. Our leafy training spoon has a flexible tip that bends on contact and scoops from any angle, so an unrefined grasp still gets food to the mouth, and it stands upright so the tip never touches the table. For toddlers, the training fork’s firm-but-soft prongs genuinely hold pasta, fruit, and pancakes.

When can babies use a spoon?

Most babies are ready for spoon practice around 6 months, when solids begin. Early on, a long-handled feeding spoon lets you offer purees while baby watches and learns; as your baby starts grabbing for the spoon, a short training spoon with a boosted-grip handle supports self-feeding practice through the toddler years.

Is this safe for my baby?

Yes. Olababy feeding products are made from 100% high-purity food-grade silicone with no fillers, free of BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates, and tested to FDA food-contact standards.

How do I clean and sterilize it?

Silicone products are dishwasher safe (top rack) and can be sterilized in boiling water or a steam sterilizer. Air-dry fully before storing.

What if it does not work for us?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery (see our return policy for details). US shipping is free on orders over $49.

    Love these

    I purchased the set of shorter ones and my baby loved it so much I bought this pair of longer spoons. It's a big long for my baby to use on her own right now but I'll be using it to feed her until her little hands get bigger!

    So fun using these

    I know these spoons are for my baby but I have so much fun using them. They have a suction cup base which means no more laying down the spoon on dirty surfaces or knocking over! The silicone material is soft and flexible and most importantly can't hurt my baby.

Why does letting a baby feed themselves matter?

Leslie Schilling, a registered dietitian nutritionist and co-author of a book on baby led weaning, writes in Today's Dietitian that self feeding is a natural first step that can build feeding confidence and oral skills, and can help prevent overfeeding.

Does baby led weaning help a baby learn when they are full?

Laura Lucas, a senior clinical dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital, says one of the main benefits of baby led weaning is that it helps babies learn to recognise their own satiety levels, and that with proper handling and supervision it is safe for most babies who are developmentally ready.

What skills is a baby practising when they feed themselves?

Kimberly Churbock, a physician writing for Cleveland Clinic, describes a baby picking up a piece of food, bringing it to their mouth, manipulating it, chewing and swallowing, and notes that all of those actions require fine motor skills and oral motor skills.

What if my baby is unsure about a new texture?

Amy Klein, an occupational therapist at Cincinnati Children's, writes that for a baby who is not sure about a new taste or texture, self feeding gives them control to manipulate it in their mouth and swallow it or not, and that it also aids hand eye coordination.
