Life Hack:
Life gets messy when you begin to teach a baby how to feed herself with a spoon. Skip the sticky mess. Buy a snow cone machine. Give your little one a bowl of shaved ice and a spoon. Any spills can easily be wiped up or left to dry on their own. Instead of rinsing her off with a garden hose, you’ll only have to dry that precious baby with a towel. An extra benefit is that the cold ’snow’ can comfort a teething baby.

Oh goodness, I don’t remember how old they are when you start. My kiddos are 6 and 7 now. I guess you can give it a try when he can sit up in a high chair and hold a spoon.
