How To Maintain and Clean Your Baby’s High Chair

A high chair is always an addition to the mealtime area when you are beaming with delight having your baby. It helps your baby to sit safely while eating. Little did you know that you were supposed to keep that high chair so clean and learn how to get your baby used to the high chair, or did you?

No need to worry! Learn to clean your baby’s high chair with this guide and make mealtime a happy time for eating with it. Some easy steps and fun ideas will be what make mealtime an enjoyable experience for you and your baby.

Gather Your Cleaning Supplies

Before you even begin cleaning, gather everything needed. You will need a damp cloth, soap, baby-safe cleaning spray, and a soft brush or sponge. Soft clothes work pretty great to wipe surfaces over. You could also want to have a towel to dry everything off. Having all this already makes it quicker and more fun cleaning!

Drop Any Remaining Food

Babies are messy eaters, and food is bound to get everywhere! Take a minute to clean off any food left in the high chair before you start cleaning. Check underneath the tray, on the seat, and in the straps. Use your hands or a small brush for this. Once you’ve cleaned away the mess, cleaning becomes much easier!

Clean the Tray and Seat

It is now time to clean. Take a little bit of soap and add warm water; moisten the cloth or sponge. Wipe the tray by removing sticky spots. A soft brush scrubs tiny crevices that can trap food particles. Always make sure to rinse off the soap completely.

In case you have fabric parts, read the instructions from the manufacturer on how to clean the high chair. At times, you can throw some fabric pieces in the washing machine!

Don’t forget the straps

Crumb trays trap many crumbs, so do not forget about the straps. Dip your soiled cloth with soap and scrub your straps clean. If your strap seems very filthy, you might soak them for a minute or two before rubbing them out to be pristine and clean again. 

Be sure, though! Record whatever you read about cleaning in the manual that you are given upon buying the high chair. When you clean it, let it dry completely by air-drying the straps. 

Check for Any Damage

When you clean it, look for wear and tear? Make sure that everything is properly fitted and in good working order. If you find some broken parts, you should fix them before letting the high chair out again. A secure, well-functioning high chair makes mealtime a lot more fun!

Cleaning Schedule

Clean the high chair often so it is fresh. Clean it right after a meal is over. You can do a big cleaning once a week, too! Have fun singing a song with your family while you clean! The high chair will stay near and ready for your baby’s next meal. 

How to Get Baby Used to the Highchair

Now that your high chair is clean, let’s discuss how to get your baby to feel comfortable sitting in it. It may take a little time to get your little one accustomed to the high chair, but it is well worth the effort!

Step 1: Introduce the High Chair Early

Introduce the high chair even before you start feeding your baby solids. Allow your baby to sit in it during family meals. This way, they will watch everyone eat and learn what the high chair is for. Make this experience fun by smiling, talking, and showing excitement! 

Step 2: Make it Cozy

A comfortable high chair will make a lot of difference. You can have your baby sit on a soft cushion or his favorite blanket. You can also attach some fun toys that are going to entertain your baby. Having something familiar nearby is going to make them feel safe and happy. 

Step 3: Do Short Practice Sessions

You should also have a few practice sessions in the high chair. For now, seat your baby there for just a few minutes. While they sit there, keep talking to them and playing with them. You can also provide them with something to hold like a toy. Gradually increase the time spent in the chair by your baby as they become accustomed to it. 

Step 4: Positive Reinforcement

Appreciate your baby every time they sit in the high chair. You can clap for them or cheer them up by saying, “Good job!” or “You are doing great!” You can even give them a small treat, like a tiny snack when they sit in the chair. This makes your baby connect sitting in high chair to good feelings.

Step 5: Keep It Fun

Make mealtime fun! Sing songs, tell stories, or play games as your baby eats. It helps keep the atmosphere relaxed and fun for your little one to love their high chair. You can share funny faces or silly sounds to make them giggle.

Conclusion

Every baby high chair should always be neat and clean. This ensures a safe environment while eating, ensuring your high chair is in good shape. Moreover, making your baby feel comfortable with the high chair will make mealtimes an exciting bonding moment.

Introduce the chair early, keep it cozy and fun, and celebrate every small victory with a lot of praise. With a little time and patience, your baby will feel completely at home in their high chair, making every meal a joyful moment for everyone!
