Bibado Multi-stage baby spoon and dipper - Dippit™ (Two-pack)

Dippit™ is the perfect first baby cutlery, allowing easy transition from dipping to scooping. This dual-ended wonder weaning tool helps babies explore first flavours with the textured dipper and practice scooping with the spoon. The unique two-handed easy-grip design suits even the youngest of weaning babies.

Why Dippit?

We created the world’s first two-handed weaning spoon to encourage babies to take an active role in feeding. The innovative Dippit allows parents to preload the spoon and offer it to their child, who instinctively reaches for it with both hands to bring it into their midline and up to their mouth. This naturally helps to develop a range of motor control skills, including grasping, gripping, hand-eye coordination, wrist control and elbow flexion. This is all excellent prep for follow-on cutlery and provides a solid foundation for later skills like writing.

The dual-ended design offers multiple benefits. In early weaning, the honey-drizzler dipper end is designed to easily pick up and retain viscous foods like yoghurt, porridge, purees and mashed food. Later, when wrist control begins to develop, babies can transition to the spoon to practice and master scooping.

“The ultimate innovation in baby feeding that I’ve ever seen”, Claire Pidgeon - Occupational Feeding Therapist.

Encouraging babies to take an active role in self-feeding is key to their confidence and progression. Getting them involved from the outset will vastly improve the development of the key motor skills needed, but the choice of spoon is critical, too.
Baby’s elbow flexion develops before their wrist control, so a two-handed spoon like Dippit is a genius invention that really works.

Maximise your little one's early development with weaning essentials that work perfectly together to develop essential motor skills. Sippit, baby's first open-cup can be introduced alongside Dippit to maximise progress.

Developmental Benefits

• Encourages developing babies to take an active role in feeding, which fuels confidence - a key ingredient for progression
  
• The unique short two-handled design makes the Dippit perfect for navigating food from plate to mouth at a point where wrist control is yet to emerge and mature. Ideal first baby cutlery.
  
• Textured dipper end stimulates tongue lateralisation (side-to-side tongue movement). This is instrumental for learning to move food around the mouth and safe swallowing

Features

• The world's first two-handed baby weaning spoon designed for parental assistance and independent feeding. Nurtures self-feeding and facilitates the seamless transition from dipping to scooping
  
• Curved ergonomic anti-slip handles are raised on a flat surface making it easy for little fingers to get underneath and pick up
  
• Anti-gag neck prevents the Dippit from hitting the back of the mouth and overstimulating the gag reflex, which can lead to negative associations with mealtimes
