Post-meal cleanup chaos: Does your child hate being wiped down after mealtime?
Try this:
- Instead of wiping them down in their highchair, take them to the sink for post-meal cleanup.

- Make it fun: Washing their hands in warm water at the sink is gentler, more effective, and fosters good hygiene habits and independence as they grow.
