Tommee Tippee Softee Weaning Spoon For 4 Months+ Babies is a cleverly designed weaning spoon that does everything you need when weaning your baby. The super soft tip of the spoon gently tips the food into the baby’s mouth. When first learning to self-feed, babies can only strip food from a spoon, so if the spoon is too hard not all of it goes into baby’s mouth. That is why designed all the weaning spoons to make sure they are soft enough so that when baby’s tongue touches the spoon it pushes the food up gently into the mouth. Fuller baby, happy baby, happy mom. When feeding from a jar or storage pot things can get messy if you use a spoon with a short handle, that’s why all the weaning spoons are designed with long handles so you can scoop food out easily. Plus, the anti slip handles make it easy for you to rest the spoon on a bowl without the worry of it sliding into the food. With hygiene at the forefront of everyone’s minds, the cutlery’s BACSHIELD™ antimicrobial technology adds an extra layer of reassurance. BACSHIELD™ is made from a commonly used silver-ion technology that provides an invisible layer of antimicrobial protection, recognized for centuries with no harmful effects. It works by preventing the growth of unwanted microbes that can cause product degradation, discoloration, staining or odor. BACHSIELD™ is tested to ISO standards and is EPA registered. All Tommee Tippee products are BPA, BPS, PVC, Phthalate and Nitrosamine free. Independent laboratory testing demonstrated a 99.9% reduction in microbes after 24 hours.
