Mealtime Messes: Solutions for Busy Moms

By Dana Hardek June 24, 2016
One day soon your baby will start showing an interest in eating solid foods. Along with baby food comes all of the mealtime accessories required. These items aren't just necessary they're fun! Plus, they solve some of the most common mealtime issues that parents experience. 

Your baby is going to love playing with his food. That means major messes for you, but Marcus & Marcus' Animal Placemats keep trays and tables clean. They're silicone, so they travel easily and are a snap to clean. The grippy surface ensures they won't slip, and they even go in the dishwasher! Marcus & Marcus also makes Collapsible Bowls that you can pop into your diaper bag and take with you on the go. Crackers, anyone?

Once your baby is ready for some solid food, you'll be surrounded with cute little bowls and plates. Putting them in the top rack of the dishwasher means that they'll be shifting around. Boon has a cool new SPAN Dishwasher Net that keeps bowls and cups safe by hooking onto the dishwasher rack, trapping the dirty little dishes underneath
