Keeping Baby C Still On Her Highchair During Mealtimes

Baby C can never sit still during her mealtimes. If there's nothing to entertain her or to distract her, she will stand and wriggle her way out from the seat belt and climb onto the table attached to her highchair... and this happens everyday, at every meal! I guess most babies are like this too, right? Is your baby like this too or is mine hyperactive?

Other than flashing cards to her, I keep her still like this :


By giving her a teething rusk to nibble on....





and to let her feed herself with an organic cereal bar. She recently discovered how to pick up her food with her fingers and boy does she love putting the food into her mouth, instead of being fed by mummy or kakak.




But how I hate the aftermath of this.... it's super messy with crumbs strewn everywhere on the table, floor, her chair and on her hair!

yeah, they are like that, feeding them is like a circus, food & fun everywhere. Amber does not even want to sit on high chair, this is especially hard when we eat out of home. My bil actually took a belt to tie my niece legs to the highchair..*sigh*

ethan's like dat too. so now, he refuse to sit in his high chair, he sits on the chair just like us. even when we eat out, he sits on the 'adult' chair. since 12 mths old lah.. when younger that time, he will cry when we buckle him, so wat i did was, putting him in his high chair without the buckle, but i must keep an eye on him all the time! n then.. i got frustrated n ended up feeding him sitting on the floor instead! until 12 mths when he joined us on the adult chair!
