Messy Meals Club Blog - Starting Baby On Solid Foods

Welcome to the Messy Mealtime Club!
This is where we share it all — from self-feeding to playtime to our nutty stories.

As a mom of three I know weaning kids can be a daunting task. The floors are a mess, the prep and clean-up are a chore, and I swear our Golden Retriever has gained 10 pounds this month! I started to collect tips and ideas from different bloggers and authors and write a few of my own, along with developing our gear that helps keep things a little easier when it comes to clean-up. Enjoy our content, and if you’d like to contribute we’d love to hear from you!
