Die Expert:innen hinter doddl

Penelope Henderson

Children's Nutritionist

"I love the unique design of doddl cutlery. The short, moulded handles fit perfectly in little hands and have a soft middle for a comfortable grip. I also love how they support motor skill development like dexterity and coordination, making self-feeding easier. The toddler knife helps build cutting skills safely, giving parents peace of mind. With easy-to-use cutlery, little ones can explore a wide range of foods and gain early exposure to new tastes and textures. I’d definitely recommend these to parents."

“doddl cutlery is perfectly designed for a toddler’s hand and the short handle means it’s easier to control. But the best bit for me are the metal heads which make it easy for baby to scoop and fork food compared to chunky plastic heads which can be frustrating for young ones. One of my recommended weaning essentials!”

"doddl is a product I used, and I rate so much. The cutlery was fantastic for weaning, and we still have it in the drawer now, it’s my daughter's favourite spoon for cereal and she’s nearly 6 years old. It was a great transition spoon from starting to wean and learning to use cutlery to moving onto cutlery designed for adults. I love shouting out products that I believe in. Parents are the most vulnerable consumer out there because they want what is best for their baby and that's because they care so much. We’ve all been there. And I never want to be part of a market where I have anything to do with preying on the vulnerability of parents. That's why I don't recommend products unless I have used them and think they will add real value. doddl is definitely one of those."

Paediatric Occupational Therapist

“I absolutely love doddl. It comes with a children’s fork, spoon & knife that are ergonomically designed to foster independent feeding while building motor skills. Each utensil has grip zones strategically placed making it easy for kids to maintain control and manoeuvre the utensils. The handles are designed to promote a mature grasp which helps with drawing and writing. This is the first cutlery set I’ve come across that includes a knife safely designed for introducing and practicing knife skills with kids allowing them to participate in making her own food.”

Vanessa Eisch

Occupational Therapist

"As a pediatric occupational therapist and feeding specialist, I am always looking at new and innovative feeding products. I came across the doddl utensil set and recently tried it out with my 18 month old son. It’s an incredible design! The handle is a perfect combination of chunky yet light and short which promoted a comfortable and functional grasp for his little toddler hands. The bowl of the spoon is wide and flat which allows him to “shovel” and successfully scoop his food! He’s been more successful with this spoon than any we have tried before! I’m definitely recommending doddl to families that I serve and keeping it in my OT toolkit. Thanks for making such a thoughtful, well designed product!"

The Baby Nutritionist

“The doddl baby feeding set has been such a lovely addition to our weaning journey.The 2-in-1 bowl is sturdy, well-designed, and sticks perfectly to the highchair tray. The cutlery set fits beautifully in little hands, helping babies build independence and confidence with self-feeding. They are short and even though the handle is chunkier they are super light. I love how well it supports fine motor skill development and encourages proper grip from early on, key steps in learning to eat independently. The carry case is another win for me: we take it everywhere! It keeps the cutlery clean, safe, and ready to use whether we’re out for a meal or travelling. From a mum and a child nutritionist perspective, I really value products that make feeding fun, practical, and developmentally supportive and this set truly ticks all those boxes.”

Fütter- und Schluck-Spezialistin

“As a feeding specialist and a mother, I was so delighted to discover doddl cutlery after it was recommended by a friend. I was so fed up of buying cutlery that wasn’t working to support my baby with his self-feeding development. doddl cutlery was perfect for him and within days he had mastered the loaded spoon and was stabbing and eating with his fork.

The perfectly designed handles are short and fat which makes them easy to grab and simple to bring to their mouth. My son loved eating at the family table with his doddl cutlery – he was participating in our family mealtimes before he was walking!”
