BLW cutlery - Doddl or Bibado?

Hi ladies Thank you so much to everybody who helped me out with suction plate recommendations! We ended up getting a few bits across different brands you recommended. Felix has had a “test run” (we’re practicing sitting in his high chair!) and I handed him the spoon to see what he’d do with it. It went straight in his mouth (just like everything else at the moment 😂) but we’ll see how he does once it has a bit of yoghurt on it!! I am considering also buying him either the Doddl cutlery set or Bibado doubled ended spoon/dippers to encourage mastering self feeding with a spoon & pincer control. I’m just wondering whether any of you have tried either of these and which of the two you’d recommend if so? Thanks so much 🤗

I have used both as the bibado bibs were a life saver when my LO would love to bathe himself in his food 🤣 But the doddl is 1000% my recommendation, even the vegetable chopper you get with it was a perfect start in helping him learn(e.g cutting his bananas etc)💗

100% doddl

My best friend is an OT who specializes in feeding and she recommended the goo tensils so that’s what we use and they work great. NumNum Baby Spoons Set, Pre-Spoon GOOtensils for Kids Aged 6+ Months - First Stage, Baby Led Weaning (BLW) Teething Spoon - Self Feeding, Silicone Toddler Food Utensils - 2 Spoons, Gray/Green https://a.co/d/6G08xGG

The NumNum spoons are great first spoons, the one thing that I bought that my MIL was impressed about 😆 we also use EZPZ cutlery, plates and cups which are brilliant too (got most of ours on FB Marketplace) and then Doddl a bit later 😉

Thanks ladies, I’ll check out the NumNum. At first glance I’m not sure as it seems to be geared toward getting baby to hold a utensil / use as a teether - but Felix already does that. He’s quite confident holding and gnawing on his matchstick monkeys. The stage 2 spoon may be a bit more useful, but I’m a bit confused by the hole in the middle? How does that work in regard to getting food from plate to mouth?

@Rachael that one is more like a “fork” it’s used to balance solid pieces of food in the middle.

@Caitlin Right, so it’s more of a fork than a spoon? 🤔

@Rachael we definitely didn’t use them as teethers, the magic is that food sticks to it instead of falling as baby moves the spoon about. I hope that makes sense.

We have the doddl set and our LO loves it!
