Which word is correct?

How would you phrase the sentences please?

The baby always cries between mouthfuls/ spoonfuls/ spoons as if I'm not feeding her fast enough.

Don't give her too big a mouthful spoonful. She could choke on the food.

The baby never opens wide the first spoonful/mouthful/spoon. She wants to make sure she likes the food before she takes big mouthfuls/spoonfuls/spoons.

Thank you

Babies are fed by a spoon. The mouth accepts incoming food/soup in spoonfuls. Mouthfuls are the result of too large a spoon, or an accumulation of spoonfuls not yet swallowed.

  • Babies are fed by a spoon.
  • The mouth accepts incoming food/soup in spoonfuls.
  • Mouthfuls are the result of too large a spoon, or an accumulation of spoonfuls not yet swallowed.
  • So, by all means, spoonfuls.
