[quote=Anonymous]A mat under the chair, and then let them eat. I gave her everything rice, yogurt, fruits, just not things that would stain stuff. She was never a food thrower just one that would get it everywhere on her hair and face. It was a bit messy for a few months, but it helped her learn how to feed herself and eat with a spoon and fork very quickly. And it was a good break for me, to leave her with her food for a while, she would be safe in the chair, eat and learning a new skill. The only downside was that I'd spend 10 mins cleaning afterward, but hey! I got a 30-minute break to do other stuff while keeping an eye on her every now and then. We used Bumkins bibs and folded the sleeves if the onesie had long ones. Mostly, just giving her a good face and hand wash and then wiping her hair with a wet towel was enough, on somedays we needed to change clothes. Wipe away wet food from chair and mat, quick vacuum for the rest and rinsing the tray in the kitchen sink became our routine.

It's less stressful if you focus on how to handle the mess rather than avoiding it.   [/quote]
