I'm just wondering really. DS2 is nearly 3. We've always given him 'smaller' cutlery (if I can't find the stainless steel stuff, which is inevitable - I always lose the blinking forks - we use the ikea plastic stuff that is quite a big 'head' but a smaller chunky handle) I don't really like the plastic forks though as they don't 'spear' food easily which gives him trouble.
I feel a bit wierd giving him full sized stuff (which his 5 year old brother uses fine although he's still little in comparison to an adult) just because he's so small proportionately - his mouth is little - his hands are little, and a full size fork makes me think he's going to do himself an injury.
Am I being daft?

Does your toddler use 'baby' cutlery? or full size?
