Cutlery for babies: safe and fun!

Introducing cutlery to babies is an exciting milestone that marks the beginning of independent eating. Pickle & Bear baby cutlery is fun, safe and hygienic.

While it can feel daunting at first, especially with the inevitable spills and dropped spoons, the right cutlery for babies can turn mealtimes into a positive and enjoyable experience for both the little ones themselves and their parents. Our baby cutlery is designed with little hands and developing coordination in mind. Lightweight forks and spoons are easier for babies to lift, grip and control, helping them practise new skills without frustration. Soft, rounded edges are gentle on sensitive mouths and gums, allowing babies to explore self-feeding safely as they learn how to bring food from plate to mouth.

Comfortable handles play a big role in making baby cutlery work. Shapes that fit naturally into small hands encourage a secure grip and help build confidence with each attempt. As babies grow into toddlers, this familiarity supports smoother transitions from assisted feeding to eating more independently at the table.

Cleanliness and ease of care are just as important as comfort. Cutlery for babies that’s made from modern, child-safe materials is designed to be durable and hygienic, standing up to frequent use and regular washing. Parents can feel reassured knowing that everyday utensils won’t chip, crack or wear easily, even with enthusiastic use. Many designs can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly, helping to keep mealtimes relaxed and stress-free.

Fun is another essential ingredient. Baby cutlery that feels special to a child can make a real difference to their enthusiasm at the table. Playful details, friendly shapes and coordinating tableware help turn eating into an activity rather than a chore. When children feel proud of their own utensils, they’re often more eager to sit, try new foods and practise feeding themselves.

At Pickle & Bear, our cutlery for babies is created to balance safety, practicality and real fun. Our thoughtful designs support developing motor skills while keeping comfort and durability at the forefront. By choosing baby cutlery that’s safe, easy to use and visually appealing, parents can help their babies approach mealtimes with confidence and curiosity, and with plenty of smiles along the way!
