snack times

Have just started giving DS snacks and now he haa one of those little coubh things so am putting him on that by the coffee table.
anyway my question is...is this what other mums do or do most put their babies in high chairs for snacks.
if they don't use high chair what non messy snacks do you give or do you just live with the mess or is there a trick?
I hate food mess lol....

No, I can't stand walking around with food either, he stays in his little couch thank goodness but even then sticky fingers on the couch are not my favourite thing....trouble is our high chair is dumbo and the tray table is really high and has a weirdo lean on it...would love to get rid of it and buy a new one but we live in the sticks so not easy.....so anyway, the point is that it isn't great for him to eat food off the tray hence trying the little coffee table.

What kind of snacks are good?

We bought a little plastic chair from Bunnings and I often sit her at the coffee table in her chair. Otherwise it's on her little couch.

DS is really good at sitting down eating....is rather amusing really, guess he really likes his food tee hee. Think I might just go with a towel under him....we do have a dustbuster but I ALWAYS forget it is there.,...dumbo me.

I hate food mess as well. Food is to be eaten sitting down. We have little chairs, plastic ones, and a wooden table that DH made (don't have a coffee table).

Or what you can do is get a plastic table cloth & they have to sit on that to eat, fold it up & shake mess outside

We have a large tray that I can put a selection of snacks on, she sits on her little fold-out couch by the coffee table, which is at just the right height to leave her tray. If she gets up she is reminded in no uncertain terms to sit on her chair or the food is removed. She usually gets things like crackers, fruit sticks (like baked muesli bars, but about the size of your finger, and has fruit on the inside) tiny teddy biscuits, grapes... basically little bite sized stuff that she cant pick up and walk around biting into and leaving mess (but JIC, I have a little dustbuster vacuum cleaner for inbetween vacuums lol)

To get her into the practise of sitting down to eat, we started turning the TV on to some cartoons (up until recently the tv was never on during the day) just to keep her attention on staying in her chair... although lately I've been leaving it on as background noise lol I'm beginning to remember why I love the Playhouse Disney channel
