[blparent] Spoon feeding infants

[Veronica Smith]

Deanna is right, it is not good for the feeding of a child, but it is good
for them to explore new foods according to my pediatrician. Chad, have you
tried just putting small amounts of cereal on a tiny spoon?

That is a device for teething, not for feeding. It is purposely designed to 
be difficult for your child to have difficulty actually getting the food out

of it. This doesn't strike me as the most nutritional thing to be doing, 
because I doubt the child is really getting much out of it other than the 
taste.
