Handfeeding Utensils           

Utensils used in the hand_feeding process are varied. There is no one best utensil or feeding method. When considering equipment choose a device proportionally correct to the babies size and method you feel most comfortable. If you are not sure of what utensil and method of feeding would be best experiment--- try different methods.
