Feelings so messy!

[moomin35]

My LO gets Sooo dirty when I feed him. He wears a neroprene bib but by the end of the meal his sleeves and cuffs are grubby and he has food in his hair. How can I keep him clean and tidy (I'm not bothered about the high chair or floor)?

Not sure you can. If we are in public I hover a bit more wiping her down and wet wiping her eyebrows, but if we are at home I just let her loose. Roll her sleeves up or strip her top so she's more easily wipable. If there is a solution I would love to hear it.

You can't! They're supposed to get grubby :-) nothing you can do apart from resign yourself to clothes changes after every meal for a while.

Yeah, you can't. Even my 4yr old needs a clean top after approximately 50% of meals.

I use a long sleeved bib and tuck her sleeves up into it so that solves the grubby cuff bit. Otherwise I just take her top of at meal times!

The rest of the mess is just inevitable I'm afraid. They have to get messy to learn how to feed themselves.

Undress him for meals. Bath daily. Good flannel/baby wipe wash after every meal.

It gets better.

Cheap long-sleeved smock type bibs. Mine have a plastic backing so they keep the baby relatively dry.

Asda do them, ikea do them (they're huge though) and I got some shockingly awful ones on Amazon which were two for a fiver.

Bibetta long sleeved bib and tea towel over knees.
