good suction bowls

[weeonion]

hi folks- anybody use / know of a good suction bowl for dd? any we have tried - she yanks them off highchair and flings to the ground - contents included.

ta!

I think someplace called first steps do good ones. we have one, blue with green suction base. DS can not get that one off at all.

Think carefully....do you want to redecorate your dining room with weetabix/tomato pasta etc?

IME if they stick really well then the food travels further when (note, I used when not if) your DS/DD pulls the dish so hard it breaks the suction.

IME there is no such thing. As Betty said they all come off eventually and the more effort needed the worse the mess.

COV -sounds like you speak with bitter experience too

Indeed I am

no such thing, weeonion. there is a tommee tippee placemat that sticks well, but when your child learns to peel the entire mat off the table and then whirl it round her head...

easier just to put whatever it was straight onto the highchair tray
unless you have a hand-splatter...

Shower curtain from IKEA on the floor - £1. Scrape off debris, put in washing machine!

ta folks. we already use the shower curtain under the chair but C seems to hit quite a radius with her flinging. she has developed the technique of pushing all her food to the edge and beyond of the high chair. it hasnt got a very deep "lip" so most tips over. thought a bowl might giver her something to push against!

weeonion, that used to be dd's sign for 'all done', iykwim? it was a question sometimes of asking her if she was finished and heading her off at the pass.

good point aitch. we had been trying to give a sign when it was full and fed up time. maybe i am being over ambitious in the amount i expect her to eat.
