Hi Tammy. These are my thoughts exactly. If a feeding gets real messy,
Michael ends up in the tub afterwards with his rubber duckie.

Hi,
I used to take as many clothes off as I could when feeding, and I always
joked that I might just feed my boys in the bath because the usually ended
up there after feedings anyway.

In the early days of spoon feeding, I often found it easier to just take
Sarah's shirt off entirely, then put on a bib and let the mess begin. That
way, when the meal ended, all I had to do was wipe off her tummy, arms, and
shoulders with a warm wet cloth, and there were no drippy clothes to deal
with.
Hang in there! Feeding does get easier.
