I used this from the time my child started eating with their hands until they were practicing with a spoon. They also liked regular spoons, so I used this in conjunction with them for about a year. There are no noticeable stains, but there are some minor scratches. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this. Would you like to try it?
