We actually bought this set for our 20 month old who has some texture difficulties that have impeded his ability to chew and swallow foods effectively. These textured feeding spoons have been so great for him! The material and texture of them allows for the less solid foods (mashed/pureed) to stick on to the spoon, instead of slipped right off (like traditional spoons), which makes it a lot easier for babies to get at least some of the food into their mouth until they master their ability to spoon feed themselves. For our son, the texture has also helped a ton during his therapy sessions. The little nubs and bumps of the spoons allow just enough texture to slowly but surely get his tongue and the inside of his cheeks used to different textures, without being a choking hazard (as many foods are for him). In the 2 short months that we’ve had the spoons (and been using them regularly) we’ve seen such tremendous improvements in his tolerance for different consistencies and textures of food! The bowl is the cherry on top – with the base of it being wider than the top and covered in non slip rubber, it’s helped us avoid many spills!
