Our kids might still be starting on solids right now or still attached with the bottle or your breast (as in my case). And as you observe them eating, it may somewhat appear that they're miles from using silver cutlery on their own. Whether you decide to purchase a set today or 48 years from now, choose for the best pieces with your child in mind (or in tow).Look. The design should stand the test of time. Keep in mind that you'd be using them forever. Something that you won't trash when the design gets outdated.
Feel. The most important of all. The look needs to be considered but all the more, you need to see if it's comfortable to use. That's why touching and holding the pieces are absolutely necessary. It's good to be stylish but functionality should be on top of the list. It's good if you can let your child try them to know of its usability. Heavy utensils has the feel of class but eating should be relaxing and not stressful.
Materials. Do you want stainless steel, silver plated or sterling silver (usually is made-to-order)? Stainless steel sets are what's commonly used and has the wider range of designs in the market. It's convenient for everyday use as sterling silver and the plated ones need polishing from time to time. The upside though is that silver-plated and sterling resist staining and rusting.
Cutting cheese would be clean and hassle-free with any of these knives. Yet another one that goes in my list of amazing style and function.
