baby spoons

Tiny feeding tools

Baby spoons are small utensils designed for feeding infants, with shallow bowls and soft edges to protect tender gums.

The term also describes a technique of giving someone information or assistance in tiny, easy increments—treating them as incapable of handling more: Stop baby spooning me the details and just explain the whole situation.
