So Davyn has been eating baby food for the past couple weeks but after every bite he sticks his hands in his mouth! Is there any way to break him if this? I would need 5 hands to try to feed him and hold his hands back at the same time.
Put a little on his tray. He is putting his fingers in his mouth to explore what you are giving him. If you put some on his tray, you can control (somewhat) the amount of mess and he can still meet his developmental need to explore new things.
Definitely some food for though! I appreciate your input @scidg3, :) I had to stalk your page a little. Triplets?!? I cannot imagine
There are days when if I don't let mine play/explore their food it won't go in their mouth but the more they are allowed to play with it the more that ends up in their mouth each time. I feel 6 months is prime time, but I am one for BLW.....to each their own. Mine just turned 1 and they had a blast exploring their cakes 😋😵😂 @whitneyp
@scidg3, I do agree to an extent. For something new, yes. Absolutely. As I introduce new stages of food, I'm going to let him play with it. But this has been a few weeks and I don't want him getting in the habit of playing with his food all the time.
Why? I feel like babies should be allowed to play with food when they are exploring foods.... Imagine having something new and only being allowed to touch it with your mouth. Everything else they touch with their hands.... Just be ready with a wash cloth..... Ikea has an amazing bib too @whitneyp
@danielleandco, is makes SUCH a mess! I didn't even think about trying to occupy his hands but will give it a try
@charong, thank you! That's a great idea. I will try that next time he eats
Lol my son does the same thing it's quite possibly the most annoying thing 😂 I give him something to hold like a bib
Give him an extra spoon to hold. My son love playing with it.

I'm back home from the hospital. It was a really long and hard weekend.I had my sweet baby boy. These are some of his things they gave him. That's the little hat they put on him and the little blanket they wrapped him up in. They also gave us the bear and keepsake box for his things.

How do u guys feel about briana and devoin? Was he wrong for not telling her abt his 2 jobs? Or is she wrong for not lettin him take his own child to his house to his family? Was her mom out of place for trying to put her hands on him?

okay I can't be mad at him right now. he moves alot in his sleep and isn't really supportive during my pregnancy but he moved like this while he is asleep and it's just one of those moments that make it all worth it. arian started kicking his hand.
If only they knew...
What's something your husband does freely that his friends would make fun of him for if they knew?
Question mamas...my baby has eczema on his forehead and cheeks and I already brought him to the pediatrician and they said they don’t want to prescribe anything for it because it’s on his face and they don’t want to put any prescription cream on his face so they said to use a cream not lotion cause cream would moisturize more so I have been using Aveeno Baby moisturizing cream on him daily and it hasn’t helped! What else can I try? It’s itchy cause he’s rubbing it with his hand on his forehead...
Lol @whitneyp yup! If you could see the messes I clean!! 😅 They keep me busy but I wouldn't have it any other way!! Tonight we did dinner outside so the mess wouldn't be so much to clean 😁😆
