My Baby Is Messier Than Yours.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Huggies®.

You show me the mom who says her baby is never messy and I'll give you one thousand dollars. Okay, not really one thousand dollars but certainly a high-five and a small trophy. 

Babies are messy. There's just no two ways about it. They're messy when they're playing, they're messy when they're eating and if your babies are anything like mine, they're even making messes while they sleep. 

Sometimes, a good mess is necessary. Take meal times, for instance. There's just something about a baby covered in peach applesauce that makes you pine for another, no? Forget those sleepless newborn nights, give me an independence-craving eleven month old, I say! 

Maclane loves to eat. If you don't believe me, just check out his thigh rolls. Even his thigh rolls have thigh rolls, that's how much he loves to eat. And I love that he loves food but sometimes this means relinquishing control and allowing him to get a little messy during meal times. As difficult as it is for this mama to sit back and relax, I know it is good for the both of us. 

It satisfies his craving for independence and I get to sit for fifteen minutes and drink my coffee with two hands. Without having to play defense. Without having to hop up from the table every two and a half minutes to fish couch-goldfish from his mouth or leap between him and whatever sharp corner his forehead is about to connect with. 

The real challenge, however, is cleaning up when there's no more meal to squish between tiny fingers or rub through one's hair. As much as I would love to just dunk the baby in a sink bath every time this happens, sometimes there just isn't enough time to do so and sometimes? That just takes too much effort.

That's when I reach for Huggies Natural Care wipes in the new designer tub. Without looking like a giant plastic-y, rubber-y wipe box, I can keep this handy designer tub on the kitchen counter without it screaming, "THIS HOUSE IS FULL OF MESSY BABIES!"

With a variety of patterns to choose from, these tubs would look great (read: inconspicuous) with any room decor. No more than two wipes later and both Maclane and his high chair are sparkling clean, ready to take on the next meal. 

Whether used to clean up meal time messes or wipe clean messy bottoms, Huggies Natural Care wipes are our go-to brand and have been since shortly after the boys were born. With their thick, alcohol-free Triple Clean layers and added Aloe and Vitamin E, they're the perfect wipe for everything from tiny newborns to sticky toddlers and have been a welcome product as each of the boys begin to explore their way around self-feeding meal times.

These new wipes are gentle on baby’s skin and thick enough to clean their hands and faces, all the way down to their bottoms. Interested in trying out this new product for yourself?
