I did not come at the beginning with simple plastic spoons not clear, my daughter also. These silicone spoons are perfect for the introduction of complementary foods. They are nice and soft, and disturb the baby is not in the mouth, can be nicely pressed his tongue. There is no plan to large amount of slurry and they are beautiful narrow so that they fit into small fine baby mouths. Yes, the silicone part turns of carrots - but what does not? Carrots discolour over time everything. I do not mind that, it now looks visually not too bad out. I can only recommend the spoon.
