Baby wearing and eating is a messy business

  Lol. I "christened" my newly-sewn mei tai the other day by spilling coffee on the strap.
  
  I've also dropped lots of different things on DS' head, but I don't really eat/drink stuff that's hot enough to burn a baby...I treasure my tongue.
  
  I like PP's suggestion. There's also just draping a lightweight receiving blanket (or even a nursing cover) over her head.

  I tried covering her with something but she's not having it. Can't use a nursing cover in public either. I just cover the latch area with a lightweight scarf. And I carry an umbrella when it's sunny b/c she won't stop screaming if I put a hat on her! Silly girl. 

  
  

  Emerald - the reason I made this post is b/c I *immediately* spilled salsa on my brand new just out of the box boba that I was so excited for. Of course, eating chips and salsa while bouncing baby on an exercise ball might be just a bit more multitasking than I can handle, eh? 

  
  

  You know what I need? I need one of those dog collars. You know, like so they don't bite their stitches after surgery? But inverted like a rooftop. LOL. I can see it now... Like I don't already look ridiculous dancing in the kitchen eating dinner. ;-)

  I've been joking that DD is going to start eating solids too soon because I drop so much food onto her head/face.

  I do the thing with the head cover on the Ergo and I have to wash that thing all the time. :P Nowadays, he sits on my lap while I eat (or in his high chair! big boy!) and tries to grab all my food which is also quite messy... I think life with a baby in general is messy!

  I leave the hood on and I usually use a little tray that I hold over her head so that all food falls on that (hopefully).

  When LO was 10 days old we went to a froend's cook out. It was a good way for a lot of acquaintances to see the baby without having a constant stream of visitors in those first weeks. We were there 30 minutes and everyone was satisfied. It was the first time I used the moby and I was super hungry. I totally spilled pasta salad on his head. Luckily no one saw - I felt like a pretty sh!tty mom after that one.
