I thought she was clean

A little background for those of you who haven't seen what Hannah looks like after a meal

So this morning I do the usual oatmeal struggle. She tries to take the spoon from me and feed herself, I fight to get the spoon back Resulting in a huge mess. After she's done I clean her up, well mostly there was a little patch of oatmeal over her eye but she was pissed (hates having her face cleaned) and we weren't going anywhere and all in all I thought I'd done a pretty good job cleaning her. Four hours later I put my hand on the back of her head and there's a clump of dried oatmeal in her hair

lol... They are so funny arn't they? Jasmine doesnt try and grab the spoon, but she continually shoves her bib in her mouth and tries to eat it while im spoon feeding her.

 

[Vickie]

feeding them is a whole new world. Hannah will get a death grip on the spoon. Half the time I don't even bother trying to get it out of her hands, just move the bowl over, rotate her hand with the spoon in it to get a scoop and wait for her to feed herself Messy but much easier

My daughter was like Hannah and we ended up feeding her with two spoons - she held one and we used the other. It might be worth trying.

Alasdair tries to feed himself with the spoon but always wants the spoon I'm holding too!

It's so hard to keep them (and us) clean isn't it!
