Ten Handy Tips for Feeding Your Little One Solids

So, you’re ready to dive into the world of feeding your little one solids—kudos to you! Here are ten handy tips to make this messy journey a bit easier:

1. Lay down a massive drop cloth. Sure, the floor might not be spotless anyway, but let’s not make it worse than it already is.
2. Protect the walls. While you’re at it, grab a few more to protect the walls. Pureed peas can create some wild art on beige walls, but let’s try to keep the artistry confined to the high chair.
3. Dress appropriately. Dress in your oldest, most worn-out clothes and toss your hair into a bun. You probably already look like this, anyway!
4. Strip your baby down. Strip your baby down to just a diaper and bib. It’s a scientific fact: naked babies are hungrier babies.
5. Keep damp washcloths handy. Keep a stack of damp washcloths nearby. Skip the baby wipes—they’re too pricey, and you’ll quickly go through a couple of packs.
6. Have extra baby spoons. Have at least five baby spoons on hand. You’ll need them for the ones that get dropped, flung, or deemed “toxic” by your tiny critic.
7. Secure your baby in a high chair. Secure your baby in a high chair. You may call it a “high chair,” but to them, it’s a “torture device.” Whatever helps you get through it!
8. Don’t stress about every mess. Don’t stress about wiping their mouth after every little mess. Seriously, who has time for that?
9. Be prepared for cleanup. Brace yourself for the possibility of rinsing off your baby with a hose after a few meals. Also, the high chair, the table, the floor, and maybe the walls.
10. Reward yourself. Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy a soothing bath afterward. You’ve definitely earned it!
