My baby boy loves, loves, loves his food. He loves it so much that he has to be smothered in it. He has to have it all over his face and body or else he cries. I guess to feel the full experience of the thing he's been dreaming about since he was 6 weeks old he has to be fully immersed in it. Can you imagine? We have to bathe him three times a day. It is getting really old. I have tried putting the bowl right under his chin and shoveling the food in, and that works for a while. However, he gets his hands in the bowl, the food covering begins. He gets food on his eyelashes, his cheeks, his chest, his fingers, and maybe even his feet (if he can reach them).
In order to keep from bathing him three times a day, I have come with a new feeding method. It's called the two-handed method. I get two spoons out, and a cereal bowl. I put one spoon in his hand and I feed him with the other hand. He drops one spoon in the bowl to reach for the other, and I pick up the dropped spoon to feed him with it. It goes on and on like this until the bowl is empty. If we are lucky, he doesn't cry for more food. If not, then we have to fill the bowl up with more food. Using this method keeps him pretty mess-free. It also keeps us all happy, and him free to eat all the food he wants
Did I mention that he loves everything we put in front of him,well everything except one well-known baby food brand. He loves organic baby food and my home-made veggies. It's a joy to see him love fruits and veggies, but it is a little overwhelming trying to feed a very strong little boy a meal.
