Baby Spoons, Forks and Weaning Utensils Australia
The right utensils make all the difference when it comes to introducing solids. At Peekaboo Baby, our range of baby spoons, forks and weaning utensils is carefully selected to suit every stage of your baby's feeding journey - from first tastes at around six months through to confident self-feeding toddlers. Browse alongside our bibs, plates and bowls, food containers and baby food processors to set up your complete weaning kit.
Soft-tipped spoons are essential for tiny mouths and sensitive gums, while ergonomically designed handles help babies grip and self-feed earlier. As your little one grows, starter forks with blunt tines give them independence at mealtimes without the risk. Many of our sets are made from BPA-free silicone or food-grade stainless steel with soft grips - durable, dishwasher-safe and easy to clean after those enthusiastic first meals. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in baby weaning utensils
- Age-appropriate design - first-stage spoons should have shallow bowls and soft tips; later stages can introduce forks with rounded tines
- BPA-free materials - choose food-grade silicone or stainless steel so nothing harmful touches your baby's food
- Easy-grip handles - chunky, non-slip handles help little hands develop self-feeding skills sooner
- Dishwasher safe - weaning is messy, so look for utensils that go straight in the dishwasher for easy cleanup
- Heat-sensitive tips - colour-changing spoons warn you if food is too hot, adding an extra layer of safety
- Coordinating sets - buying a matching set with bowls and plates creates a cohesive, practical mealtime routine

Baby Weaning Utensils - Frequently Asked Questions
Most babies start solids around six months. At this stage, soft-tipped spoons are ideal for parent-led feeding. From around 9-12 months, babies can start practising with a spoon themselves, and toddlers typically progress to forks with blunt tines from 12-18 months as their fine motor skills develop.
Look for BPA-free silicone or food-grade stainless steel. Silicone is soft on gums and flexible enough to be safe. Stainless steel is durable and hygienic. Avoid plastic utensils that may contain BPA or phthalates, especially if they will come into contact with hot food.
Baby-led weaning (BLW) involves offering soft finger foods from the start and letting your baby self-feed. While finger foods do not require utensils initially, introducing a pre-loaded spoon early helps develop self-feeding skills. Short-handled, chubby utensils with easy-grip designs work best for BLW alongside traditional spoon-feeding.
At minimum, a few spoons in different stages - soft-tipped for early weaning, then harder-tipped for older babies. Having at least 4-6 on hand means you can get through a day of meals without constant washing. A starter fork or two is handy from around 12 months. Buying a set is often the most economical option.
Yes - heat-sensitive or colour-changing spoons are a useful safety feature. The spoon tip changes colour if the food temperature exceeds a safe level, helping prevent accidental burns. They are particularly handy when warming purees or using a microwave.
Most baby utensils made from silicone or stainless steel are dishwasher safe on the top rack. Always check the manufacturer's instructions. Some utensils with composite materials or heat-sensitive tips may need hand washing to preserve their function and longevity.
