First steps towards independent eating

Britton Heat Sensing Weaning Spoon / Red

Early meals involve touching, tasting and a little mess. A small set of practical accessories makes clean-up easier while you focus on your child.

A spoon for feeding

Britton heat-sensing feeding spoon has a long handle that helps reach into a jar. Its tip turns white above 42°C. Treat the colour change as an extra warning, not proof that food is safe when the tip stays coloured. Stir and check the food's temperature yourself before offering it.

A bib for everyday use

Britton Easy-Roll bib is soft and rolls up for storage. Wash it in warm soapy water or on the dishwasher's top rack as instructed. Let it dry before rolling it up, and keep strong chemicals away from it.

Let your child take part

Offer manageable amounts and allow pauses. Watch for signs that your child has had enough. Britton Berry food feeder, 6m+ is an optional way to explore suitable foods from its stated age of 6m+; it does not replace learning to handle other appropriate textures.

Keep the meal safe

Seat your baby upright and stay with them throughout the meal. Prepare food for their age and abilities. Put feeding accessories away afterwards rather than leaving them as unattended toys.
