Mally Bibs truly are The Ultimate Baby Bib. They are functional, easy to clean, and adorable! Say bye-bye to sticky, mouldy plastic bibs and the endless laundry piles of cotton bibs. The adjustable magnet clasp makes them easy to put on, because tying a string around the neck of a squirmy toddler with long hair is NOT my idea of fun! After the meal, you clean them by just running them under the tap, and then you can hang them on the fridge to dry (another benefit of the magnet clasp). Worn in reverse, they make a great travel snack holder for when you’re on the go (just put some goodies inside the pouch, and your child can snack at their leisure).
An excellent gift for any young child – they come in baby and toddler sizes, you can customize the colours, and you can even personalize them with a child’s name. The hardest part is deciding on a pattern!

Didn’t have very many messes, but the worst to clean is rice…rice sticks to clothes, the chair, the floor, the fridge (when flung)…too bad my toddler loves rice so much! Grin.
Today was the first day I fed my daughter Elise solid food. Mashed potatoes. I accidently put some up her right nostril. I’m a horrible mother…..
Other than the mashed potatoe incident I have no horror stories. Except when I wasn’t paying attention to Elise and tried plugging the bottle into her right nostril also. The abuse she suffers!
My daughter is generally a messy eater. Food just gets every where… in her hair, on the floor, between her crotch. She loves spaghetti, but gets it all over face. The worst is when the sauce gets on her hand and then she touchs her hair with it.. smearing sauce all over. Yuck!
Hehe, I agree with the smudging. Forgot about that…they rub their face, eyes, hair, whatever, and then you have to get in there and clean up asap so it doesn’t dry…grin.
Alphaghetti/organic stars were also great for messes…all the way down the shirt, in the hair, hands, arms, face….and a big smile on his face every time.
ok, i dont have any kids yet, as babe is due in March, but I have babysat and I do have nephews. I had the liberty of feeding one them prunes cause they were a little backed up…well, they came out both ends in no time. Not a happy camper….. ugh.
working with 12 2 tr olds on a daily basis, anytime a parent sends yogurt with their kids for snack is a great time!!!! everytime, i have an internal struggle: do i let the them feed themselves(regardless how long it takes) or do I deal with a HUGE mess……..needless to say, i am always cleaning up a huge mess…especially when kids are wearing fuzzy sweaters and jeans, yogurt loves fuzzy sweaters and jeans! (why can’t parents dress their kids in splashpants at all times?)
many many good food throwing stories, as son number 2 eats like a beaver and gnaws on things. this method produces the maiximum number of crumbs. ahhhhh!!!!!. i digress. i think milk is the worst to clean up. you know when they are learning to drink from a big cup or they have a sippy cup without a super good lid… well when they are dropped from highchair level they kinda explode sending droplets of liquid in all directions. then you get to clean milk off of the floor and walls and the blinds and the table legs and the chair legs. several days later you still find milk drops that somehow made it several metres from point of impact.
My worst one so far was when I was breastfeeding the boy, and he farted like there was no tomorrow… he farted until the diarrhea or poo or whatever watery thick brown substance it was ran out all over my belly and jeans.
My worst child-feeding experience has got to be with corn. Not super-messy, but it goes EVERYWHERE, and it’s just the worst thing coming out the other end. Now that I’m cloth diapering I have an especial hate on for corn.
My worst child feeding experience has got to be when my 2 year old tried some raspberry sherbet for the first time. He loved it, of course, and had several tastes of it. Just when i began wondering if he would experience the nastiness of the brain freeze type effect as I had just begun to feel myself, he did! I felt so bad as it clearly was just as painful for me as it was for me!
Not being very experienced with children and trying to feed my neice was a huge challenge, needless to say there was rice in her hair, and really all over her from her head right down to her toes. Hopefully I will be more skilled with the twins, but i imagine with 2, it will be tricky.
I had this really cool placemat that i would use when we were out and about. It saved your food from touching not so sanitary tables. Well one of the first times I used it my son, after I picked up the mat and started packing up, he LICKED the table in the food court in the mall. I thought that was pretty funny, and gross.
My worst Child feeding experience was having my daughter throw up rice cereal all over me….in public. Yep. Embarrassing!
oh yes, a sneezing baby with a mouth full of sweet potatoes and an Auntie who is dressed to kill for a night on the town = one HUGE sticky mess,,,,
Not realizing that you have baby vomit down the back of your shirt when you’ve been out in public All AFTERNOON!!!
Didn’t enjoy the ‘flinging’ phase…where everything was tested on how well it would fling…lots of food everywhere. Amazing how high it can get too.
I once left a bottle of mustard on the table and my nephew grabbed it when no one was looking and proceeded to pour the entire contents all over the tray of his highchair and the seat of the dining room table chair next to him..the stain is still there and I (think) that I was forgiven by my sister
not very smart parents….RED icing on a one year old’s birthday cake! and today we did it again with our 4 year old….that might be worse.
the worst was when he puked… in the middle of a meal… and let’s just say we had to put the booster seat in a tub full of BLEACH water to get the stank out!
My worst child feeding experience was when my granddaughter spit her baby food(strained carrots) in my face and each time I would clean my face she would laugh and spit some more at me. When I stopped feeding her she would cry for more but as soon as I started again she would start spitting again.
Spaghetti from head to toe and all over the table and floor. You just can’t get that tomato sauce out for days.
Due in January, I have yet to collect a bad story about feeding babies – though I do have a very unpleasant recollection from when a friend’s little boy stayed the night: something didn’t set right with him at dinner, apparently, because he got sick in the middle of the night – all over his pajamas, the sheets, comforter – everywhere. A middle of the night bath and several washings were required…
Last night story: decided to feed rice in the living room for a change…which of course ended up all over the rug. Not a problem normally, just brush off and wipe up, but the little one had to help…smushing it in and making it that much better. Life lesson: no rice by rugs with helpful toddlers!
I used to babysit this kid who refused to use a fork or spoon and his parents allowed it – even at the age of 4. It was always messy!
Having milk spit ups is always yucky..especially when it’s on the front of your shirt which makes it look like you’re leaking!
I forgot…rice cereal that you don’t find right away (ie. on the wall or floor, go flinging!) dries to a cement-like hardness
oh yes, spit up breast milk from someone else’s baby when you are not at home an unable to change any time soon
those blower things (like for new years)are great for knocking over glasses of sticky juice at a birthday party. if you don’t have those. make sure you have straws because when the glass is empty….you then have a straw which doubles as a toy that you can flick or blow into. juice droplets fling out. great.
My daughter’s only 7 months old, so we’ve been very neat so far. I’ve LOVED reading the stories above!!
My daughter used to blow raspberries when I fed her.. which got quite messy as you can imagine. Stuff dribbiling down her chin and everywhere else!
Tapioca pudding coming back through the nose. Enough said!
I made the mistake of feeding Tuna to a kid..it was smashed in the corners of the highchair and it reeked for weeks
Oh, just remembered the ‘learning/practicing’ spitting phase. In it goes…then out it comes a little bit later…wherever he was…then he’s say ‘spit!’ with a big grin. lovely
I shudder at Huckelberries going in and coming out, stains everything!
Blueberries. Though the issue was more with what happened AFTER my son ate several handfuls after going blueberry picking. His poo was blue for days. haha
grapes are such nice little balls, aren’t they. our cat likes when we can’t find a hidden one that has been “dropped” from the table. makes for a nice midnight toy for a kitty.
Self feeding is always a mess. I have some great pics of my little guy covered completely in sweet potato mush.
beets too are a huge stainer. my moms highchair for grandkids is permanently stained.
Oatmeal through the nose … ‘nough said!
mind loved to get a mouthful of cottage cheese, and spray the chunks all over the walls…
anyone ever insisted their child is to “just try” some new food. then you get the gag reflex working and up comes everything they did eat for dinner onto their dinner plate….pretty much ends dinner time for everyone.
spaghetti sauce stain is pretty tough to get off their clothes.-)
Oh the floor! I could feed a whole other kid from all that is dropped on the floor these days.
I am not a fan of the dirty little hands that come after feeding. I do my best to grab a cloth and wipe right away, but I dont think I have the mother speed in me ( yet!) so I always get a print or two on my clothes
Spaghetti eating is a classic = always messy, but always a good photo op
havnt had an experince yet, but im sure many are to come! lol
I never enjoy when my little one ends up with oatmeal in his hair. Tricky to get out!
I have to admit, it drives me nuts when people dont wipe their kids faces after they have been fed. Nothing nice to look at dried crusted sweet potatoes in the nose, or sticky bananas on their chin.
My friend just sent me pictures of her baby – and he was covered in chocolate. I had no idea that a 8 month old would ( or should…) be eating choco fondue, but it was everywhere, including her dining room drapes….ugh!!!!
