any recommendations? elijah is quite interested in using a spoon now, but obviously his weaning spoons aren't really deep enough for him to manage to keep anything on as far as his mouth (awww), and i don't want to give him a metal one yet - is there something in between?

just a spoon really, we are far far away from forks and other such complicated ideas!

We've got the plastic set from Ikea http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30096906 , the handles are nice and chunky so easy to grip and the spoons are lovely and deep. You can keep the forks and knives for later on (Libby attempts a knife but isn't very good bless her) xx

oh they are rather sweet! i might see if my brother is likely to be anywhere near ikea in the near future

We have the ikea ones too. ASDA do practically identical ones (slightly poorer quality but doesnt matter for LOs) - £1 for an 18 piece set so if you can't get to ikea try asda

i just got 9+ month plus ones for Arwyn cos she likes to feed herself breakfast sometimes. tommee tippee ones, between the weaning and the metal 12+ month ones

We've got them as well - theyre also good. Probably a bit easier than the ikea/asda ones too as theyre not as big. We have a LOT of spoons - I went through a 'spoon phase'

i didnt even know there was 9 month plus ones haha will have a nosey in asda if i can be arsed to go there

i didn't either, i just went for a look cos Arwyn starting taking the spoon from me to feed herself and the weaning ones are too long. they're shorter and the spoon part is harder (but still plastic)
