DC is 11 months old and majority of time when I am weaning he wants to feed himself via BLW.
When DH and I go out at weekends we have 3 hour window including travel time as DC does not sleep out or in the car - only at home.
As such, giving him lunch before we leave doesn’t give us enough time so we tend to go and get a coffee and feed him there.
Problem is, due to BLW he makes a lot of mess on the floor. I tend to give him something like pasta and some pieces of fruit/tomato along side it (but obviously varies).
First few times I would get on my hands and knees and clean up the floor after he ate but cafe floors are pretty dismal and a couple of times I’ve been told by the waiter don’t worry they will clean it up but only in very select cafes.
Question is, is it socially acceptable to leave cafe having made a mess feeding baby? I don’t want to be rude or inconsiderate. Thoughts & tips?
