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.
Without a doubt babies are messy! More so when they’re learning how to eat and feed themselves solid foods. Did you know that studies have actually shown that the smashing, throwing and playing with their food actually helps them learn?* 
Science confirmed what kids seem to instinctively know even! That playing with dirt and mud is fun, of course, but did you know that it actually helps soothe, calm and relax children? In short, playing with mud can make them happier kids!**

That’s such a great giveaway! I used to use Dreft all the time when my kids were little. I loved how clean it got the clothes and how wonderful it smelled.
Thanks for hosting! I love Dreft products.
Haha I bet a lot of parents will enter this! My kids were definitely messy when they were younger!
Dreft products are my choice, I’m glad that they had an adorable contest for messy kids!
This is a fun contest. My daughter had some really messy moments back in the day that would have been great for this!
What a really fun giveaway. I know a few babies that were super messy, this would be fun to partake in! We really enjoy Dreft products!
Sounds like a great giveaway. I’ve always loved Dreft products for my girls when they were babies. I love the scent of Dreft too.
What a pretty cool giveaway! I’ve never heard of Dreft before, but your pictures are adorable. Thanks for sharing.
We used Dreft all the time when my little dude was a baby. Fun giveaway with a great prize!
This is a great prize. Dreft is the only detergent I will use now. It gets all the stains out that the kids create.
This is such a fun contest! What a great prize too, I love Dreft 🙂
Dreft is my number 1 choice for kids. It was the only thing my daughter could tolerate on her sensitive skin and now it’s what we use for her daughter.
What a great giveaway! This is the detergent we use for our 9 week old!
When my kids were young I always used Dreft detergent. It was so gentle on their skin. I vote the idea of the messy baby contest. My kids were fairly neat eaters, but I bet there will be some funny entries.
