Choosing a baby spoon may seem minor, but for christenings, keepsakes, and everyday feeding it matters. Silver baby spoons range from solid silver heirlooms to sterling and silver-toned alternatives. These picks come from hands-on testing, expert input, and consumer feedback to help you choose a lasting, safe, and attractive spoon.
Our methodology
- Hands-on testing: We examined finish, edge smoothness, balance, and comfort for infant mouths using sample spoons where available. For high-end pieces we inspected craftsmanship and hallmarks.
- Expert input: Pediatric feeding safety, metalsmithing, and silver-care guidance informed our durability and cleaning recommendations.
- Consumer feedback: Verified buyer reviews and return patterns helped reveal long-term issues like tarnishing, bending, or engraving durability.
- Real-world use: We assessed how each spoon performs for feeding purees, as a keepsake, and how easy it is to clean and store.
These combined lenses determined how each spoon ranked for value, heirloom quality, and daily practicality.
Pure Silver Spoon
A true silver heirloom, this pure silver spoon is designed for ceremonial and feeding uses. Heavier and more substantial than plated alternatives, it’s ideal for gifting at baptisms or weddings and will patinate beautifully over time with proper care.
Pure Silver Spoon — Premium Choice
This pure silver spoon is the most authentic heirloom option in our list. Offered in a larger 6.1" size (also available smaller), it’s substantial (approx. 38–40 g for the larger size) and designed for both ritual use and feeding. The weight and softness of pure silver give it a warm feel in the hand and a distinct, long-lasting patina that collectors and families prize. Expect to polish occasionally and avoid dishwashers; gentle hand washing preserves the finish. If you want a true silver heirloom that’s meant to last generations, this is the pick—albeit at a premium price point.
Krysaliis Sterling Spoon
A finely shaped .925 sterling bent-curved baby spoon with a 3" length. It balances safety (rounded edges) and presentation (gift box), making it an excellent christening or first-feeding keepsake that looks and feels premium without the pure-silver price tag.
Krysaliis Sterling Silver Bent Spoon — Editors Choice
This .925-stamped bent and curved spoon is tailored for baby feeding and keepsake presentation. The 3" length and curved handle aid feeding ergonomics, while smooth, rounded edges reduce risk around delicate gums. Packaged in a gift box with ribbon, it reads as a thoughtful christening or first-birthday present. The material is described as sterling silver (the listing references plating in one place, so check hallmarks on arrival). Clean gently by hand to maintain luster. It strikes an excellent balance between heirloom quality and daily practicality, which is why it earns our editor’s pick.
Little Princess Pewter
A budget-friendly keepsake spoon in pewter with a classic little-princess motif. It’s a charming, more affordable alternative to sterling or pure silver for commemorative gifting, with a pleasant weight and presentation suitable for display.
Little Princess Pewter Baby Spoon — Best Value for Money
Pewter offers the visual appeal of silver at a fraction of the cost, and this Little Princess pewter spoon is a classic keepsake choice. At an approachable price, it’s nicely weighted and comes in gift-ready packaging—ideal when you want a memorable present without the expense of sterling or pure silver. Pewter will develop a patina over time and generally requires simple polishing; it’s not recommended for rough dishwasher cycles. For families who want a tasteful memento without the heirloom price, this delivers excellent value.
Holiday Baby Spoon
A stainless-steel baby spoon with festive designs and a silver-tone finish. Affordable and practical for everyday feeding, it offers durability and easy care—good for families who want the look of silver without the maintenance or cost.
Holiday Spoon (Baby) — Best Budget Pick
This stainless-steel, silver-tone holiday spoon is the most affordable, practical choice for everyday feeding. At about 7.67" it’s larger than some baby spoons, so it works well as a novelty or for parents who prefer a longer handle. Stainless construction means easy cleaning and high durability—dishwasher-safe and resistant to bending or corrosion. It won’t be an heirloom, but for daily use, toddler feeding, or themed gift-giving, it’s a sensible, budget-conscious pick that gives the desirable silver look without the cost or care needs of real silver.
