Babies grow up to about four or five months, and mothers will start to add complementary foods to their babies. At this time, the choice of tableware has become a concern for mothers. Compared with stainless steel and wooden spoons, many mothers will pay more attention to it. I tend to choose a soft silicone spoon, because the baby is more convenient to use, so how often should the silicone spoon be replaced? How many months old is the silicone spoon suitable for?
In recent years, silicone tableware has become very popular in the market, because the food-grade silicone material is safe and soft, so mothers do not have to worry about the baby being hurt by the tableware when eating complementary food. However, silicone spoons also need to be replaced regularly. Generally speaking, they are replaced every six months. After purchasing, mothers should pay attention to disinfection before using them for their babies. In addition, high-temperature disinfection should be carried out before each baby use. The silicone spoon can be sterilized by boiling and soaking, without worrying about the production of harmful substances.
Of course, silicone spoons are not suitable for babies at any stage. Generally, when babies are one year old, they have passed the stage of complementary food. When they do not need to eat only liquid food, they should stop using silicone spoons, because the material of silicone spoons is soft and cannot bear heavy weight. It is not convenient to hold solid food, so after the baby is one year old, it should be replaced with a hard spoon of other materials, such as a spoon with a stainless steel head but a plastic handle. The baby’s arm strength is well exercised.
