Breast feeding.. do BF babies wear bibs?

Random question of the day!

mine never did for feeding, although I did keep a muslin close by. Neither were sicky babies, though, so that might make a difference.

They did when we started weaning them, though.

Mine did from about 3 months when their saliva glands kicked in and they became dribbling monsters!

Mine never did, even for weaning. By that time I'd got out of the habit and they weren't messy eaters anyway.

Same here. We were given loads of bibs but they all got passed on. Neither of mine were sicky or dribbly babies though even when teething.

None of mine have. But they have not been sicky or dribbly.

Nope. Ds wore a bandana as he was very dribbly, but nothing to do with feeds. Dd often had a muslin around her as she was a sicky baby. Didn't use bins til they were weaning.

Mine doesn't generally although he is quite sicky so if I don't want to have to change him I'll sometimes stick on on him to hopefully catch the sick. I probably wouldn't bother buying any as you get outfits given that sometimes include bibs and you can easily just use muslins. I have plenty of bibs but didn't buy any myself.

Esther didn't. Archie had reflux and was a horrendous vomiter so he did.

Susanna generally doesn't

My son was a puker so I used to wrap a muslin round him as a bib. Didn't use any actual bibs until weaning, when I used those plastic backed ones with arms.

Yes, both mine were really sicky so they lived in bibs until around 8 months. They saved me changing their clothes 20 times a day - just got through A LOT of bibs!

Mine all did, mainly because of dribbling. We started off with M and Z using the Tommee Tippee milk bibs during and after feeds, but then switched to bandana bibs. Rafi hated the milk bibs but is happy in bandana bibs, and they save us changing tops and vests when his drool soaks through!

I always had a muslin around for breastfeeds as he would often come off the breast and let it dribble down his face. We did expressing and bottle feeding so he had bibs for bottle feeds.

From 6 months onwards, we've always used the full on bibs with sleeves when eating to save his clothes.
