A utensil crafted from an alloy containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, often copper, designed specifically for feeding infants and young children. These implements are typically smaller and shallower than standard spoons, facilitating easier and safer feeding. The composition ensures a durable and visually appealing product.
Such items are often selected for their perceived safety, hypoallergenic properties, and antimicrobial characteristics compared to utensils made of other materials. Historically, silver has been associated with purity and has been gifted to newborns as a symbol of good health and prosperity. Furthermore, the metal’s inherent qualities may contribute to a reduction in bacterial growth, offering a hygienic option for feeding young ones.
