Starting solids is a big milestone for both babies and parents—and having the right tools can make all the difference. The NumNum Baby Spoons Set, also known as GOOtensils, is designed to make that first leap into self-feeding smoother, safer, and a whole lot more fun. Created especially for little hands and growing confidence, these beginner-friendly utensils are a must-have for any parent introducing baby-led weaning (BLW).
Self-Feeding Made Easy
The biggest challenge for babies learning to self-feed is figuring out how to scoop, balance, and coordinate their movements. GOOtensils take the frustration out of mealtime by eliminating the need for scooping or wrist rotation—a fine motor skill that most toddlers don’t fully develop until around age two. Instead, these spoons let babies simply dip and eat.
The set includes two pre-spoons, each designed for different textures:
- The Stage 1 spoon is perfect for purees and doubles as a teether for soothing sore gums.
- The Stage 2 spoon features a channel design that grips soft solids like mashed avocado or oatmeal, helping babies make the transition to chunkier foods.
Perfect Fit for Tiny Hands
Designed specifically for babies aged 6 to 18 months, each spoon features a short, thick, contoured handle that fits comfortably in little hands. Better yet, there’s no wrong way to hold it, empowering your child to explore and succeed at their own pace. The ergonomic design helps them develop coordination and motor skills without the struggle of balancing a traditional spoon.
Mess-Free and Mom-Approved
We all know mealtime can get messy—but these clever utensils help keep things a little tidier. Thanks to their unique shape and food-gripping channels, GOOtensils hold food more effectively than traditional spoons, reducing spills and making mealtime a more positive (and cleaner!) experience.
Pediatric OT Recommended
Endorsed by pediatric occupational therapists, GOOtensils are more than just spoons—they’re developmental tools. They help teach the motions and habits that babies need to master self-feeding, giving them a strong foundation for future success with traditional utensils.
Safe, Durable, and Easy to Clean
Made from food-grade silicone, these utensils are BPA- and phthalate-free, offering parents peace of mind. They’re incredibly durable and dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a breeze. (Just note: microwave and steam sterilizing aren’t recommended—but with their smooth silicone surface, you won’t need to.)
Two Bright Colors, Endless Learning
Each set includes two spoons—one in blue and one in orange—making it easy to rotate between meals or give baby a choice. The bright colors also help capture attention and add fun to the high chair experience.
Conclusion
If you’re starting your baby’s feeding journey and looking for tools that are safe, effective, and toddler-approved, the NumNum GOOtensils are a standout choice. They combine smart design with developmental support, helping babies gain independence while making mealtime less stressful for everyone. Whether you’re trying out baby-led weaning or simply introducing soft solids, these pre-spoons are a small essential that makes a big difference.
