Why You Should Let Your Baby (or toddler) Get Messy Eating.
Can’t stand a messy baby? It can mean some more work, but it is worth it in more ways than you may think…
1. Powerful Sensory Play
2. Learning How to Self Feed
3. Preventing Tactile Defensiveness
4. Making it Positive
Allow your baby or toddler to get messy as long as it doesn’t interfere with their ability to see (they wipe their eyes with a messy hand) or feed themselves.
Wait to the end of the meal to clean up. If your baby doesn’t like getting cleaned, try to take them away from the high chair so they have the positive association from the meal not the getting cleaned up part.
Consider giving the baby their bath after a particularly messy meal. Most babies love bath time, and it is often the easiest way to get them clean.
