Less Mess (baby food feeding tip)

My sister taught me a great tip about feeding a child baby food:
Whether it's store-bought or homemade, baby food can be very runny and drippy-perfect for a BIG mess. Simply add a little rice cereal to thicken up the baby food. It's adding iron for the baby and lessening the clean-up for you. Don't get me wrong though, babies are entitled to make A mess while they're learning to eat-especially once you hand the spoon over to them. But, the splatter from drippy baby food is much more encompassing than the thicker version. Plus, you might not stain as many of those really cute bibs!
