I hate weaning because of cleanup
My baby is 7.5 months and we’re going a mix of mashed texture foods and BLW she LOVES her food. I try and aim for 2 meals a day with her right now but sometimes I find I have no motivation to do it because of the clean up.
Usually I put her in a full length bib and one of the silicon bibs with the little catch pocket, I don’t care about dirty floors etc but obviously my daughter gets in a total mess, the problem is she HATES when I wipe her down. I’ve tried a warm flannel or just wet wipes she hates them both. Food gets stuck in the neck seam of her baby grows so I’m changing her clothes 3x a day sometimes more if she’s vomited etc.
I can’t have the heating on in my kitchen because the radiator is next to the fridge (only place the fridge will fit) so until it’s warmer I can’t really strip her down and just have her in her bib when she eats. I also don’t want to have to stick her in the shower and hose her down twice a day (moving up to 3x soon probably). Is there some genius trick I’m missing? I discovered earlier she has a nappy rash type rash in her neck folds because she just won’t let me in there to clean it.
I want to enjoy weaning because she loves it but trying to get her clean afterwards is sooooo demotivating!
