Traditional designs include a small bowl and a handle that is longer than a spoon designed for a baby to feed itself. Modern designs incorporate rubber or plastic coating on the bowl to protect the infant's gums. For spoons designed for toddlers to feed themselves, use "baby spoons." For spoons intended for feeding pap to infants, use "pap spoons." ]]></note></mads>
