#MessiestBabyContest: Letting Your Kid Get Messy Is A Good Thing!

November 8, 2016 in Mom Life

This post and giveaway were made possible by iConnect and Dreft. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.

Oh to be a kid again! I remember when my little ones got messy. It was definitely a moment I had to get on camera! One day this will be blackmail.

I didn’t even get upset that my kids got dirty and messy because I knew I’d have Dreft on my side to get their outfits clean! And if you needed proof that letting your child get messy is actually beneficial to their development, a Dreft survey with Wakefield found out that 87% of moms who frequently encouraged their children to go out play and get messy over the other moms who did not…had happier kids!

Dr. Dyan Hes, Medical Director of Gramercy Pediatrics has some great tips for moms!

1 – Count the fun and use your fingers: Use your little one’s food as a fantastic way to learn how to begin counting. When snacking, start counting with your little one and encourage them to use their fingers. Also, this is a great time to use food to help them learn how to properly grasp things. It will take time and practice so let them get a little dirty with their food and practice, practice, practice!

2 – Throwing practice: Throwing food can definitely be messy, but did you know it helps with their development? Little ones are also still developing object permanence, which means that they don’t know that when they throw things, they won’t come back to them. So throwing food or dropping in on the floor can actually help them learn this basic lesson in physics! Maybe just lay a mat on the floor to protect carpet or allow for easy clean up.

3 – Load up on bibs: Bibs are a great way to capture those messy food moments. Once your little one is done with meal time, throw the bib in the washer with Dreft Active Baby to easily tackle the mess so you can do it all over again. The mess went way beyond the bib? No problem—throw that outfit in the washer too!
