Bumkins Chewtensils are intended for Stage 1 of baby led weaning – introducing babies to the concept of holding a utensil and feeding themselves. Made from soft, textured silicone that’s easy to grip and is gentle on tender gums, with bendable heads for safety. Introduce babies to self-feeding by giving them utensils that can be chewed on before transitioning to silverware. The back of the spoon head has sensory bumps to stimulate gums. Weighted, textured handles allow little ones to hold while they begin to practice self-feeding. Perfect for dipping into pureed foods.

Chewtensils are intended for babies before they have a firm grasp on self-feeding; best for dipping and scooping, not yet piercing solid foods. Made from food-safe platinum LFGB grade silicone. Dishwasher-safe. For ages 6 mos and up. Each measure approximately 3in/7.6cm long, 1.75in/4.4cm wide. Do not leave child unattended with product. Discard if damaged or torn.

Starting with purees and traditional weaning means: Confidence in regulating how much your baby is eating and their nutritional intake; Less mess – purees get less distance when thrown.

Skipping purees and jumping into self-feeding means: Independence – your little one has control over what they eat, promoting confidence and earlier expansion of their palate, often associated with less fussy eaters; Baby can often eat some of what you’re having, so you don’t have to make separate meals; They decide when they’re full – according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, babies have an innate ability to self-regulate their eating.
