Your tiny little baby grows so fast, before you know it you’re picking out adorable baby-sized spoons and first solid foods. The transition to solids can be a bumpy ride, but these tips from Scary Mommy can help!

First, cover anything you don’t want baby food to get spilled (flung, smeared, etc.) on, like the floor and the walls. Make sure you’re covered in old clothes and you’re baby is wearing nothing but a diaper. Bath time is likely to follow dinner, or at least keep some damp wash cloths handy.
