5 Survival Skills for Managing the BLW Mess

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE

Episode Description

Does the baby-led weaning mess STRESS you out? If you want to know how to prevent the BLW mess...well there’s no way to do that. But you can take steps to minimize the baby-led weaning mess.

In this episode I’m sharing 5 survival skills for MANAGING the BLW mess! We’re chatting about bibs (including the types you DON’T want to use with your baby that are dangerous or interfere with their development), splash mats (what works and what falls apart in the washing machine), best baby plates and bowls for keeping things clean-ish, as well as my kitchen sink soak method for quick cleanup. 

And we’re dishing a bit about non-toxic household cleaners. I’m sharing my favorites that actually get the BLW food mess out and are safe to use around your baby.

• The “toddler” size says it’s for 6 months to 3 years; I’ve never had babies be able to wear this size after 2 but this is the size you get for infants starting solids

• Bapron Baby splash mats are here. These are pricier than other splash mats, but definitely worth it. The material is really durable, non-plastic, can rinse in your kitchen sink & reuse and they’re huge, can put under 2 high chairs at a time or use as a picnic blanket. Code KATIE10 works for 10% off at bapronbaby.com for these too.
