s/o restaurants

[laurack]

yeah, just the table pretty much. Or I put things into her hand. But she just drops it then anyway.

Table. A plate would end up on the floor

[AndyCohen]

The table here too. She gets pretty distracted though in restaurants so I usually end up just putting the pieces in her mouth myself.

I actually bought these disposable sticky placemats. I put it down and drape it over the side. This way she doesn't eat the side of the table and she can eat of the plastic. I'd PIP but I'm in my phone

Same here. I got them off Amazon. I think they're Sesame Street themed.

The table. I wipe it down with a baby wipe and go on my merry way.

So far, this. I just try not to think too hard about the nasty cloths they use to wipe down tables. I'm about as far from being a germophobe as humanly possible, but those things truly gross me out.

I worked in restaurants too long to be ok with people's ability to properly sanitize a table. Sticky mats rock. I got mine at Target. They have Disney princesses on them. The best part is not having her eat the side of the table. That super skeeves me out.

I use these:

I think I got them in a larger quantity for cheaper from Target. I love them. It is so much easier than trying to sanitize the table.

ETA- These are the exact ones I use.

I need those mats!

I put pieces in her mouth. We don't eat out often anyways.

Yes!  Tyler loves to try and suck on the edge of the table.  I wrap the sticky mat around the side so that if he sucks on it, he is sucking on the mat.

Just a quick wipe down of the surface near her chair and that's it.

[charlielove]

Yeah, I got the disposable place mats at Target too. It's a pack of 18 for $8 or so. They stick really well too.

Did you find the mats in store or did you have to order them?

[vthokie]

I bought them in store

[lauranicole91]

They sell those sticky mats at target.

I just wipe down with a baby wipe and put the food on the table. Pey just rips those placemats to shreds.

[thedahliharpa]

We endorse those sticky mats as well and they worked great for H.

I bought my sister one of these when my nephew was starting to eat from the table. It was really nice. I may see if she is using it and if not borrow it. Honestly, we don't really take C out to eat with us. We usually order take out. He goes to bed really early so we usually get MIL to watch him if we are going out to dinner. It's just special occassion thing really.

[spaghetticat]

I let her eat off the table but my SIL called me out on it, so I bought the disposable placemats at Bru. They had the reusable one too and I was going to get it but I didn't want one more gross thing to clean.
