Bumkins Disney Baby Utensils Set, Chewtensils Silicone Spoons for Babies 6 Months+

Inspired by one of Disney's most beloved characters, Minnie Mouse, Bumkins Chewtensils are intended for Stage 1 of baby led weaning – introducing babies to the concept of holding a utensil and feeding themselves. These baby utensils are designed to be gentle on tender gums, with textured silicone that's easy to grip and bendable heads for safety. The utensils can be chewed on before transitioning to silverware, and the back of the spoon head has sensory bumps to stimulate gums. Weighted, textured handles allow little ones to hold the Chewtensils with ease.

Chewtensils are perfect for dipping into pureed foods during the early part of baby led weaning, as they are intended for babies before they have a firm grasp on self-feeding. They are best for dipping and scooping, not yet piercing solid foods. Made from 100-percent food-safe silicone, the Chewtensils are dishwasher-safe and suitable for ages 6 months and up.

Using third-party labs, Bumkins ensures that the products they manufacture comply with CPSC and CPSIA standards for BPA, Lead, and Phthalates. For over 30 years, Bumkins has been creating thoughtful and responsibly made essentials for babies and kids, making parenting easier so families can cherish the special moments.

Starting with purees and traditional weaning means that parents can have confidence in regulating how much their baby is eating and their nutritional intake, as well as less mess, as purees get less distance when thrown. Skipping purees and jumping into self-feeding, on the other hand, promotes independence, as the baby has control over what they eat, leading to confidence and earlier expansion of their palate, often associated with less fussy eaters. Additionally, babies can often eat some of what the parents are having, so separate meals don't need to be prepared.

Bumkins uses the highest quality curing process for their platinum-cured silicone, which does not result in the creation of any by-products, ensuring the purest silicone is used. The Chewtensils are also easy to clean, as they can be hand-washed, dishwasher-safe, and even boiled to deep clean. However, it's important to note that silicone can absorb scents, so Bumkins recommends cleaning with unscented, natural detergent.

In conclusion, Bumkins Chewtensils are designed to provide a gentle and safe introduction to self-feeding for babies, promoting independence and confidence while ensuring their comfort and safety. With a focus on responsible manufacturing and thoughtful design, Bumkins has been creating essentials for babies and kids for over 30 years, making parenting easier so families can cherish the special moments.
