Brilliantly Designed - Worth the Purchase
Ever wonder if your food is maybe slightly too hot for your baby? Wonder no more. Munchkin created these spoons with your little one in mind, in safety and in practicality. Made with flexible White Hot Safety technology, the spoon is gentle on your LO gums, perfectly portioned to his/her mouth, and will fade in color when too hot for your LO to handle.
Not only are they easy to use and super helpful in the parenting department, but these spoons are affordable and come in a beautiful array of colors to make them fun for your LO at feeding time.
I'm sure with long term use and overexposure to heat, the technology will eventually start to fade, but they're hanging in strong at the moment (exact reason I prefer handwashing over prolonged exposure to uncontrollable heat in the dishwasher.)
I found these best used for the early/starting feeding months, at around 6 months my LO outgrew these (please keep in mind that they can still be used longer than this, but she sprouted teeth early and started chomping on literally anything she could get that tooth on.)
Perfect Size for Baby's Mouth.
These were the perfect size for my son's mouth when he started eating solids. I liked the fact that the spoons would give me an indication if the food was too hot without me having to stick my finger in too check. They do, however, stain very easily with certain foods. So, the can become a little difficult to see if it is changing colors sometimes with certain color spoons, like the orange.
Helpful
Even with the white tips, we still used our lips to tell if something was too hot or not. But these spoons, white tip or not, are very good for easy feeding and the long handle helps them learn to self feed with mom and dads guidance.
I bought these spoons originally because I needed more infant spoons and already had some Munchkin infant spoons with silicone tip and baby likes them. I really liked the premise that I would know that the food I heated for baby would be too hot for baby to eat without having to do anything except put the spoon in the food (because the colour would disappear and turn white). Price was $5.99 for a pack of 4.
My review:
Pros:
- Pretty colours
- Baby likes to use them
Cons:
- The colour disappeared even when the temperature of the food was fine to eat and takes a while to return to the original colour
- For that price I could have bought a larger quantity for other silicone tipped Munchkin spoons
- Only can go on top part of dishwasher
Bottom line:
Baby loves it but it does not do the one thing I bought it for, so go for regular silicone tipped infant spoons.
