Baby Boy LOVES bananas. This is, in itself, a bit amazing given his early hate for the yellow fruit. But, despite his love, it didn't prevent me from finding dozens of pieces in his lap, under the pad of the high chair, and on the floor. They were squirming right out of his little fingers and landing anywhere but his mouth. On several baby food sites, I saw a trick given to put crushed O cereals, wheat germ, or powdered infant cereal (like Rice or Oatmeal) on slippery foods. So I decided to try it. I must say, it worked so well, that I've been doing it ever since.
I use Cheerios, and generally I just crush them with my finers. Sometimes, if I think about it, I will run a bunch through the Magic Bullet and save them in a plastic bag. But powdering them with my fingers is not much more effort and very simple to do.
Other foods that I use this method with:
Blueberries - The powder absorbs some of the juice, which means less of it gets on clothing, etc.
Mango
Peaches
Avacado
It is important to note that this method does mean there there is more of a mess on Baby Boy's fingers and high chair tray. However, the clean up is much simpler and less food gets wasted, which is the important part.
