When we use the cute plastic divided plates, she seems to want to pick up the plate and dump all the food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-plates-and-bowls-not-necessary#post-304683 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:54:56 +0000 looch 304683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yeah, plus, when you're out somewhere, are you really going to be using a grubby restaurant tray or table for your kid's food? It's a lot easier for me to use tableware. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-plates-and-bowls-not-necessary#post-304676 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:52:12 +0000 regberadaisy 304676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I think that's how I want to start as well. I don't know I just don't like the idea of throwing food onto the tray like that. It seems sloppy to me. I know they are just going to make a big mess but I want her to know from the beginning food belongs on a plate or bowl not on the table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-plates-and-bowls-not-necessary#post-304674 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:50:37 +0000 looch 304674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have always used plates and bowls...come to think of it, I haven't ever given my son food on his tray, even if it is cut up fruit. No idea why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-plates-and-bowls-not-necessary#post-304667 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:48:11 +0000 Mrsbells 304667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much most people I know in real life and on blogs seem to put their baby's food directly on the tray of the high chair but never in a plate or bowl ( except for purees ofcourse) are plates not necessary? </p>
