Me too, mts—I remember prepping fruits and veggies the same way. But I think this new way of letting babies self-feed is great, even though the mess they create is truly something to behold! We actually strip her down to her diaper for her meals and then put her in the sink to rinse her off after she eats.
Now if I could just find time to search for a recipe for homemade rusks or other very firm, thick cracker on which we could pile up nutritious foods (like mashed beans) for her to scrape off with her two lower teeth. We are now using toasted ciabatta (sp?) rolls but I know we can find a better option to make ourselves.
