[blParent] Weaning

Thu Aug 29 19:42:20 UTC 2019

Hey Alysha

Definitely trying to prepare as best we can because it’s all so foreign to us. I feel like just as we get to grips with a stage our little one will move onto another. 
The carrier and car seat were going fine and now think I need to move settings! 

Here’s a link to the clip on chair

> Sounds like you?re quite well prepared! We?ve been doing baby led weaning for almost a month now, and we serve most foods directly on the high chair tray for the sake of simplicity. We got our Graco high chair from a friend, and the tray has a removable top for easy washing. We put one of those plastic office chair mats under it to help protect the floor from messes. We also really like the OXO Tot bibs with silicon pockets to catch dropped food. I?ll have to check out that foldable high chair you mentioned as it sounds like something that could come in pretty handy!

Hmmm I did consider a booster chair. The lobster chair style for when little one is a bit older will clamp to most tables. Multi purpose here, baby will be eating from our table allowing for us to monitor amount eaten versus painted and assist feeding. Also using our own chair ensures greater hygiene, let's face it a quick tray wipe doesn't help when straps etc are licked. Finally the space where the baby chair would ordinarily be, can instead be occupied by my guide dog. At almost 90lbs, he doesn't quite fit to curl up under most tables.
