You just have to place it a few inches off the ground since the first foot is short. Good design since it will clear molding and you can attach the top and bottom flat against the wall.” — D. L.

The set includes a stage one spoon and stage two spoon. The stage one spoon doubles as a teether and is designed to introduce babies to holding utensils and exploring purees as they soothe their sore gums. The stage two spoon is capable of holding more food and can even be loaded with solids for the child to grab and eat.

Note: The spoons don’t have a stopper, so please supervise your babies to make sure they don’t stick the spoon too far back in their mouth. Recommended for ages 6 months+.

Promising review: “I hesitated to buy these just because I managed fine with my first baby without them. My second is now 8 months and likes to take the spoon from me and feed himself. These made it so much easier. He can put it in his mouth at whatever angle and he just gums the spoon. Even my husband, who thinks the only necessary baby item is a car seat said, “These are awesome! He loves it!” One spoon (orange) is for thicker foods and the blue spoon is for thinner foods. Baby also loves to gum on these as he is teething. A good buy and a perfect baby item addition to a baby shower gift.” — Carrie Bradshaw

Promising review: “These are legit the best thing you can buy for your baby. I know you’re going to read this and be like “they’re just cups…seriously?” Dead. A**. Serious. My baby LOVES THESE. She’s actually obsessed. We purchased them at 5 months and she’s 10 now and still plays with them daily. She teethes on them, bangs them together, knocks over the tower I build. And laughs the entire time. We now have three sets (upstairs, downstairs and bathtub toys) They’re easy to clean and best part under $5. I pop these bad boys in my baby shower gifts because they’re so inexpensive and such a great useful toy.” — Kait H.

Promising review: “Best gift for new moms! Genius item for giving LO medicine, breastmilk, gripe water! This is my new baby shower gift! My husband and I discovered this when searching other fridababy items online and our LO was ~3 months. Wish we found it sooner because we were syringe and bottle feeding him from day one because he couldn’t bf due to tongue and lip tie. It is so versatile! We used it for giving his reflux meds…always came out the side of his mouth with just a syringe, gripe water when fussy, and gripe water or breastmilk during take off and landing on flights when he was not hungry. We continue to use for ibuprofen when he is sick, gripe water when fussy, and bm or gripe for take off and landing on flights when he doesn’t need to it but we need to keep him sucking to help his ears. This item is genius and so worth the low price. Giving it to every new mom I know! ” — C Ross

Promising review: “I got this as a gift for my baby shower and this is by far the best gift ever. You can touch your baby’s skin with the file and it wont hurt them. My son is 1-1/2-years-old and we still use it on him all the time. He doesn’t fight me to file his nails either. Like everyone else I was afraid that I was going to hurt him when clipping his nails. This is the best gift ever. I buy it for every baby shower I attend! I am constantly recommending it.” — Antonio Frias

Promising review: “This is by far the best night light and sound machine on the market! The fact that it combines a sound machine and a nightlight is ideal, and that you can control it remotely from your phone is an even better selling point. I especially love that it will grow with my child as a Time to Rise “clock”. This is now my go-to baby shower gift because every family needs one in their home. Don’t question it, just buy it. You won’t be disappointed.” — Tta

Promising review: “Both my boys have LOVED this toy. So much so that it is one of my go-to baby shower gifts. No one wants another stuffed animal, but this one, being gender neutral, soft, cuddly, short sing-songy, plays peekaboo, and makes your baby smile and hug it. So. Worth. It.” — Rebecca

Promising review: “This is the cutest toy ever for a newborn baby. The elephant ears play peek-a-boo ,and it sings a song and entertains them for hours.
