messy faces

[Bunnykins]

Ok so we are doing blw and its obviously very messy,today after a lunch of tuna & bakedbeans and jacket potatoes followed by blueberries and yoghurt my Lo was so messy I had to put him under the shower!!! Luckily I'd figured it would be messy so had stripped him of everything but his nappy before putting him in his highchair so his clothes were ok! He wears a scoop bib and sometimes one of those plastic shirt bibs but he still gets completely covered in whatever he is eating.

I have to wipe his hands and face with baby wipes to get all the mess off but I'm a bit worried whether baby wipes might be a bit harsh for constant use on his face???? So throwing this out there to everyone else who is weaning (tw & blw) what do you use or do to clean up after a meal??? Any handy hints or tips??

Wipes'll be reet! That's what I always used! If you're worried about the chemicals tho, fb search spuggies, not sure if they're still running, but it's an ex mod off here and they're natural, reuseable wipes xx

We've always used huggies pure wipes and Oz has never had any reactions to them xxx

i have some resuable bamboo wipes which i keep for her face and hands - that and warm water but my lo has a tendancy to excema so would rather keep it chemical free!

I always use wipes but you could always use a bit of Vaseline around babies mouth before you start so that the skin doesn't get dry or sore

Yep I use wipes too lol if there safe for bum there safe for face I reckon!!!

I use a good old flannel and warm water, otherwise I'd be going through about 10 wipes per meal and it'd cost a fortune! Lol

I use a piece of wet kitchen towel - works out cheaper! (not that im saying the price of kitchen towel is cheap!)
