Kiddy Cutlery Set from Gerber

Gerber Stainless Steel Tip Kiddy Cutlery SetIs Gerber the baby food company and Gerber the knife company the same? According to the Wikipedia links they are a different company, it looks like Gerber the baby food company just happens to make cutlery for babies.

This colorful double set of fork, knife and spoon has BPA free plastic handles that are longer making it easier for little hands to grab by themselves. The tips are stainless steel and rounded off to be safe for toddlers ages 18+ months. Would make a great gift for the little one in your or another’s family.

A Kitchen Teaspoon is not a Medicine Teaspoon – Use a measuring spoon

CIA Masters Collection 6 Piece Measuring Spoon SetIt’s flu season time and everyone is turning to “over the counter” medications. When measuring out cough and cold medicine from the bottle, please DON’T use a regular kitchen spoon for measurement. When a bottle of cough syrup says one teaspoon they don’t mean a teaspoon from the cutlery drawer. The differences between flatware spoons volume capacities varies widely. According to this report from the Pediatrics Journal not picking the right spoon led to around 40% chance of error in dosage. It is recommended using spoons that are marked with millimeters (ml) just like used for baking and cooking. The proper measurement for a teaspoons is 5ml and tablespoon is 15ml. Wrong spoon mean 3 times the dosage which could mean bad news. You can see how half tablespoon measurements are even more difficult to eyeball without the right tool.

Trying using something like the set in the picture above and link below. Just make sure the edges are safe for little mouths.
