Naked Feedings

I've had it. I'm done with the bibs and scrubbing Tali's clothes every time she eats "real" food. Today, she will start eating her meals in nothing but her diaper (and maybe socks, her feet get cold). I have three different bib sizes and none of them work. Yes, some of the food gets on the bib, but none of them go up high enough to cover the collar of her clothing. And, since Tali likes to help, the food gets on her hands which she then wipes on her clothes. After a few ruined outfits and many more days of scrubbing her clothing, I'm calling it quits. The straw that broke the camel's back? Carrots. We started carrots yesterday and nothing ruins a pretty blue dress like bright orange stains. So beginning today I will not worry about the mess. She can put those food-covered little hands wherever she pleases. Afterwards, she'll get a sponge bath.

what kind of bibs are you using? Try Bumpkins if you haven't already - they cover and catch just about everything and just take a quick rinse in the sink (no scrubbing). :)
