 When to introduce utensils and toddler spoons:

Babies can be introduced to utensils, especially toddler spoons, around 10 to 12 months old when they start showing interest and developing the necessary fine motor skills to try self-feeding with a spoon.

However, if practicing a baby-led weaning approach, offering a silicone "pre-spoon" for thicker, scoopablefoods like yogurt or oatmeal can start as early as 6 to 9 months to familiarize babies with holding utensils and encourage exploration, even if they primarily use their hands.

Spoons are recommended before forks since they are easier to handle, and babies usually master independent spoon use between 18 and 24 months, with forks introduced around 15 to 18 months or when the child shows readiness. 

Early exposure to utensils helps babies build skills gradually, and parents should expect messiness as part of learning.

In summary, start with toddler spoons around 10-12 months or earlier 6-9 months with pre-spoons, progressing slowly with practice to support independent self-feeding.
