Bibs?

[Annette]

Google disposable bibs, you can get 500 for 35 dollars well worth it for me.

Im curious about the disposible bibs. Does anyone else use them? I dont mind doing the laundry, but being able to throw them out sounds nice!

I use cloth diapers/burp rags and put snaps on them. I have 30 or so and love them.

I was going to suggest using cloth diapers. Also you can purchase velcro to adhear to the bibs if sewing isn't up your alley.

So, I'm the only DCP that just takes off shirts of the toddlers to eat?

I guess a bib might be easier - but I don't know - more laundry? Hmm.. Something to think about I guess.

Awesome ideas, I hope I remember this thread in a year when my infants start eating.

Might be...most of my parents dress the kiddos in onesies *sigh*:confused:...I don't mind infants so much but the 2.5 yo who they are trying to potty train?

I just found a liquidation place nearby where I can get them for 10 cents apiece (not quite as good a deal, but still). I grabbed 10 to give them a try.

Do they work well and are they big enough?

Also, which website do you get yours from? I googled around and all I could find are the plastic ones. I'd prefer the paper/cloth-type ones for obvious reasons but I couldn't find a whole lot.

The bibs i love the most are the ones that look like a hand towel. They have a hole cut in for head with some trim sewen around it is stretchy and goes over head nicely. I know I bought them at meijers or target but u could easliy make them . I would go to a goodwill or thrift shop and look at the towels there and makes some cheaply. They dont have to be all fancy Good luck

[countrymom]

ok, I have the ones that are like terry clothe and you have to slip them over their heads, the problem is, is if the toddler has a big head, they are hard to get on and off, and I still find that that they are not long enough

Anybody use the molded plastic bibs (ie. Pelican-style)? I never used them for my own kids, but I'm thinking that if they just need a rinse after a meal, they might be a good compromise.

I have long sleeved, plastic Ikea paint shirts I got for $2 each. I like the idea of using them for meals too.

No you are not..
I do the same thing, though I do like those dishtowel bibs from Etsy. Neat idea!

no sew bibs

I like to use a dish towel with a mini spring clamp. I get the spring clamps at my local home warehouse store (Lowe's or Home Depot). The clamps are strong (good for bag clips too as they are super strong) and children can't pull the towels off as easily as they can with clothes pins. No sew, easy to launder (I wash kitchen towels frequently as I change them daily). Tip: get many clamps (they're super cheap) as you will find many uses for them - droopy pant holder, fabric holder for play forts, etc.)
