The Funnest Baby Shower Games

The gathering of friends and family for a baby shower is a traditional and incredibly fun way to celebrate this momentous occasion. Along with wonderful gifts for mom and baby, yummy cake and treats, playing games is a sure way to bring out giggly fun and enjoyment. The more fun the games, the more memorable the moments to linger.

With several games and ideas available, the options are endless.

Baby Belly Guess:

With the baby belly guessing game, all that is required is a spool of ribbon and a pair of scissors. Each guest must make a guess of the length of ribbon it would take to go completely around the mom-to-be's baby belly and then cut the ribbon at their guess. Each guest then takes turns wrapping their ribbon around mom's tummy and the closest guess wins a prize!

Baby Feeding Time:

This is a game sure to bring tons of laughter. Guests at the baby shower pair up. One person is the "baby" while the other is the "mommy". Baby puts on a bib and mommy spoon feeds a jar of baby food to the baby, using only a baby spoon. First couple that finishes the jar wins! Any spills disqualify the couple. Imagine the memories that can be captured on film with this one!

Baby Born:

This is a fun game that will declare a winner purely by luck. Prior to the baby shower, freeze a small plastic baby in individual ice cube trays - small babies for this can be purchased in cake decorating aisles and/or party stores. As guests arrive place one of the cubes in everyone's drinks and the guest whose baby is born (breaks free from the ices cube melting) first, wins.

Bottle Drinking Race:

Have a baby bottle for each guest filled with juice, punch, water or any liquid that is non-carbonated. Hand each guest a bottle and give the word to begin drinking. The first person to suck the bottle dry, is the winner! A simple game, yet tons of fun and sure to bring tons of giggles!

Advice in a Box:

Give guests a recipe card and a pen or pencil. Have each one write a bit of "new mommy" advice and then take turns having everyone read their advice aloud. When they are finished, collect each of the recipe cards and place them in a cutely decorated recipe box for mommy's reference later.

Baby Scramble:

Give each guest a list of scrambled up baby-related words such as bottle, diapers, feedings, rattles, etc. Set an allowed amount of time and once that time is up, the guest with the most correctly unscrambled words is the winner!

Pin the Diaper on the Baby:

A fun twist to the traditional game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Hang a large poster sized paper with a drawing of a baby on a wall or door. Give each guest a cut-out diaper and take turns blind-folding each person, give them a spin and see who comes the closet to pinning the diaper correctly on the baby!

when did your baby get the hang of spoon feeding?

My daughter just started cereal. She gets the cereal everywhere and screams most of the time. Is this normal?! Does anyone have any tips for spoon feeding?!? When did your baby get the hang of it?! Thanks so much!!!!

I still remember the day my husband and I went out to buy our son cereal for the first time and were so excited to start spoon feeding. I took pictures and he was crying in all of them. The first few weeks were all trial and error. They will get it in time. I think like 5 months my son was doing pretty good although I could be wrong. Also, when you first start cereal its a very runny consistency, so it doesnt seem like they are getting much, but they get enough. Hang in there, it goes by fast and they will get a hang of it.
