[blparent] Techniques for Feeding Baby Food to a Child

[Jeri Milton]

			Hi. It is a bit of a challenge and it is quite
messy, but feeding a baby is messy no matter who you are. I use to use my
left hand to find their mouth and my right hand to feed them. It was always
my least favorite thing to do. Smile. They do move around quite a bit that's
for sure. But, what baby hasn't had a little bananas or peas in their ears
right? I really didn't like it when people would watch me feed them. That's
when I would really make a mess. Always use a bib, or  take his shirt off
before you feed him. Our bibs use to get slick with food. The washer was
always going. I finally did get some large plastic bibs that had the little
pocket at the bottom for catching food. Then I would just wash them under
hot water and soap and set them aside to dry. I was so glad when I could
stop using bibs! Lol. Hang in there.

Hello, everyone.

I do not have any problems with bottle feeding my nearly eight-month-old
son, but he is now eating baby food. I feel very ignorant about this, but I
do not know of techniques for feeding my son baby food (e.g. 
fruits, vegetables, etc) from a jar.

If any of you have a certain way of feeding your little ones baby food, I
would be very grateful to hear your input.

One bit of information: My son turns his head whenever he hears someone talk
or if he hears an interesting noise. So as it turns out, feeding him is like
hitting a moving target. <smile>

Thanks for any advice which you can offer.

Take care.
