Default New Baby Spoon

I'm sorry you have obviously not seen the product and still feel the
need to be negative and unpleasant. Your assertion that:

"the baby "sucks" its food through this hole on this
product, it will get air because second of all, any baby who doesn't
know how to put it's lips down over a regular spoon won't know how to
do so..."


is erroneous on two points. First: the size of the cavity holds an
amount of cereal/milk that equals a comfortable "bite", or mouthful
for an infant between the age of 4 and 8 months. It has been tested,
and has demonstrated effective delivery of semi-liquid smooth foods.
Second: an infant who can make oral contact with a nipple will also be
able to utilize this utensil because the end of the spoon is shaped
exactly like a slightly depressed nipple.

The tongue-thrust reflex dissipates after the age of 4 months. The
ability to chew does not develop until well after the infant has
learned to move solid food from the front of the mouth to the back of
the mouth and into the esophagus simply with the action of the tongue,
not by any means of mastication.

You are correct in your assumption that the post was offered as
advertisement for a new product. However, you are incorrect in your
assumption that anyone cares to "follow" you on your various
excursions to internet attractions which apparently occupy quite a bit
of your leisure time.
