Is the bowl of this spoon smaller than a regular-sized teaspoon bowl?(Was thinking of using it as an infant feeding spoon - too big for baby's mouth?)

Yes, it is smaller than a teaspoon and would be a good size for feeding a baby. But the the handles are thin and long, which doesn't give you as much control as a shorter spoon.

Yes it is smaller than a regular teaspoon. I have a baby and this bowl size is almost the same size as the baby spoons I use. Good idea!

These are pretty typical spoons used in stirring glasses of iced tea. They are significantly smaller than the typical teaspoon that is used in adult eating. The bowl of the spoon would probably be OK for older infants (maybe 4-6 months or older?) but I think they would be too big for the younger infants.

The bowl is a little to big for feeding an infant that is just starting to eat. The handle is definitely way to long to leave with a child that is trying to feed itself. One thing that is not mentioned here is that it will not be long before the infant is teething. There will be times that the infant is more interested in using the spoon for teething than for eating.

Yes, it is. I'd guess it's approximately 3/5 to 2/3 the size of our teaspoon which is of similar design. It would work quite well for feeding a (1.5 yr+) toddler, but the width of the front of the spoon may be too large for an infant. I hope this helps!

Yes, the bowl is smaller in volume than a regular teaspoon. I compared the bowl to my grandchild's toddler spoon. The Iced teaspoon bowl are smaller and narrower than the bowls on the toddler spoon. They might work for feeding baby, but not so well for baby feeding baby (because the handle would be much to awkward). I have seen even smaller and narrower spoons for infants, but I think these iced teaspoons would work until baby wants to hold the utensil.

This spoon is very good for baby food. I think it is little bit small for soup.Thanks.

The bowl size of the teaspoon is approx. 1.25" x 2.0", although some of the longer dimension is the extension to the handle. More to the point, I find the teaspoon size to be perfectly normal. As the other responders commented, the tablespoons are also a good average size.

All it says on the spoon is "21 update stainless steel China." Be sure you are looking for tiny baby spoons when you buy these because the picture is deceptive and makes it look like a regular size spoon. It is NOT! These spoons are baby spoons. Hope I helped.

Well, with dogs that small, it might be a toss-up. Their snouts are small, and they might just be able to get down into the ridges to get the food. The bowl is a little over 10" in circumference and the ridges are wide and vary in depth to over an 1-1/2". I'm thinking one of the other less intricate designs might work better....even for Otis. He's still not "chewing" the kibble, but it is taking him at lot longer to get it in his mouth and then swallow.

Hi Ana! No worries, you can buy it :) the smaller piece is maybe the size of an egg. Nothing to worry about too small pieces they can swallow.

The spork is about a regular spoon size, say nine inches long, I did not measure mine as I am not sure exactly where it is just now.

I have a Chihuahua with a short snout who only eats 1/4 cup at each feeding. The medium sized bowl would hold plenty of food but it was too deep. Otherwise this bowl would be great for dogs who eat too fast and get sick.

I have no problem with these spoons. They seem normal sized to me. They are smaller of three sets of spoons: teaspoon, table spoon and a soup spoon (I didn't get the soup spoons). We've had these for a couple months and are very satisfied.

The size isn't the problem. I think it's too difficult for a puppy to use. If the pup gobbles food better to get the Indipets bowl with a bump in the middle. That worked better for my 10 month old. He was so frustrated with the Kyjen that he just flipped it over.

Sorry, I haven't had that problem, probably for two reasons: We use these for feeding, not for letting the kids feed themselves; and our bowls are large enough in diameter that the last inch or so of the spoon's handle comes to rest on the edge of it, with the spoon part well inside the bottom of the bowl (even if it's shallow, that tends to be a safe angle); that way, the fulcrum or the balance tipping point is never far enough over to chuck the spoon out. (You can have the same problem with normal teaspoons and small-diameter fruit or jello or shallow jogurt cups. The size and the relative weight really matter.)

Do you mean thickness or size? It is the same thickness as any teaspoon. In terms of the size it is the same length as a teaspoon (~6 1/2"), and the spoon bowl size is 1 3/4" wide by 2" long.

I think they should work fine. You wouldn't want a larger spoon for a small mouth. Possibly a deeper spoon would be helpful, if one is made.

I believe so. My chichauhua is very tiny and I had to return a couple of,other slow feed bowls for that reason. It's worked great for her! She hasn't choked on her food since. It's only under 2" high, so I think it will be fine. It's really heavy quality stainless too!

I think the shape is more like a canelle. The cookie scoops have a release and this does not, so not much better than using a spoon. So I wouldn't buy it for that purpose. As said, great ice cream scoop!

Hi Sharlee, I found this bowl to be a bit squishier (softer) then the Aladdin silicone bowls. So, if I was taking soup; I'd choose the Aladdin & use this one for salad or cereal. Hope this helps

It is 7 5/8" inches at its widest and it did not fit on my Boon high chair. I can also tell you that it was pretty easy for my baby to pick up and so it made its way onto the floor a few times and then I retired it pretty much. The spoons are really good though and my baby/ toddler was able to manage them for self feeding pretty easily. My top favorite dish is the Boon Catch Toddler Bowl--- I still use it and my little one is now 4 years old. It has a suction bottom and a soft very wide rim that catches spills before it can hit the floor. Good luck! Here is the link to the boon dish...http://www.amazon.com/Boon-Catch-Toddler-Catcher-Orange/dp/B001EU7MPQ/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1388974465&sr=8-10&keywords=baby+dishes+boon
