Baby complementary food is generally mud like. In order to scoop up supplementary food without hurting the baby's delicate mouth, a soft and safe silicone soft spoon is the best choice. However, due to the lack of understanding of it, many mothers do not know how to choose. Today, let's learn how to choose through its various knowledge.
If you want to choose a suitable silicone soft spoon, you have to know what is a silicone soft spoon?
silicone, also known as silicone rubber, is a highly active adsorption material, which belongs to amorphous material. Insoluble in water and any solvent, non-toxic and tasteless, with stable chemical properties. It does not react with any substance except strong alkali and hydrofluoric acid. Baby silicone soft spoon is a spoon made of silicone and other materials. It is mainly used for infants to eat supplementary food and drink water.
So, what are the specific advantages of baby soft spoon made of silicone?
1.The baby's teeth and mucous membrane will not be damaged.
2. The silicone soft spoon will not scratch the baby's tender tongue.
3. Ergonomic spoon handle is more comfortable to hold. The longer spoon handle is easier to scrape the food at the bottom of the bottle when feeding bottled supplementary food.
4. The size and depth of the soft spoon are very particular. It is just suitable for the baby's mouth. It is extremely soft and takes care of the baby's gums and mouth.
Since the silicone soft spoon has so many advantages, how old a baby is suitable for use?
The baby's first spoon should be a soft headed spoon made of food grade silicone. For babies within 3 months, spoons are mainly used to feed water and sometimes medicine. Because the grasping ability is limited, there is no need to expect the baby to grasp the spoon by himself.
From April to June, some babies began to add baby supplementary food. At this time, feed rice paste, fruit puree or vegetable puree with a small spoon to let the baby have a certain perceptual understanding of the spoon and lay a foundation for the use of the spoon in the future. Most babies begin to grow teeth at this time. Silicone spoon can also be used as a molar stick for babies to bite.
After knowing so much, how should mothers choose silicone soft spoon for their baby?
1. Pay attention to safety
Silicone soft head spoon usually means that the spoon head is silicone, and the spoon handle is not silicone, but pp. pay attention to choose a baby silicone soft spoon that can be sterilized at high temperature. The spoon edge is smooth, burr free and sharp.
2. It should have color change and temperature sensing function
Is the temperature just right when the baby eats? Not necessarily. When the baby is younger, the mother feeds the baby. The mother can try whether the temperature is appropriate. But when the baby can take the spoon by himself, the color change and temperature sensing function are very important.
3. The handle of the spoon can be bent
The baby is very happy from the time the mother feeds the meal to the time the baby wants to feed himself with a spoon. It was hard to learn to hold a spoon at first. Ordinary spoons are not conducive to the baby's smooth eating at the beginning. Therefore, the mother can choose a silicone soft spoon with a flexible handle as an aid to help the baby slowly get used to bending his arms, so that the baby can slowly transition from rigid movements to flexible and skilled movements, so that the baby can learn to eat.
4. The appearance should be exquisite
Mom can choose from the appearance of silicone soft spoon. The more beautiful and lovely the soft spoon is, the more it can attract the baby's attention, and the more obvious the baby's action will be. Compared with ordinary spoons without any pattern, interesting silicone soft spoons of various colors can attract the baby's attention.
In short, I believe that as long as mothers fully understand the knowledge of silicone soft spoon, they can choose the right silicone soft spoon for their baby.
