She hates those but those are the only ones that really work for her when she's eating! We actually just bought a really expensive bib that is kind of a hybrid of the light ones and the scoop ones. She seems ok with it so far (whew). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676376 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:37:21 +0000 Greentea 1676376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: this might sounds wacko but I put her in a "jammie"/ footed sleeper - it is like a full-bodied bib. She literally gets covered and if I don't do this I have to bathe her 3 times a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676352 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:27:57 +0000 hilsy85 1676352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped using a bib around 12 months or so? I just tried not to do a messy lunch (or had an outfit change ready) and stripped him down to eat dinner. Breakfast he always eats in his PJs, which then go straight into the wash. </p> <p>@Pepper: lol yes! We save pants for after meals :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676339 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:15:23 +0000 Pepper 1676339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rarely use a bib these days. Most of his food ends up on his lap, so he eats without pants 90% of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676332 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:12:28 +0000 katsupgirl 1676332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: We do t-shirts now too. I call them eating shirts. Se has a couple super big t-shirts that work nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676238 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 17:04:55 +0000 teamjse 1676238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been bibs free since about 10 to 11 months. He wants nothing to do with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676211 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:44:03 +0000 Ra 1676211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never use bibs. I just change his clothes if necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676162 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:18:15 +0000 JessKas 1676162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bibs that @Chillybear suggested are the only ones that LO will tolerate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676148 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:12:58 +0000 MrsStar 1676148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used bibs during the puree days but were done with them by 8 months, she was never a drooly baby and she doesn't make too much of a mess usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676137 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:08:08 +0000 hellocupcake 1676137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never used bibs and it's never been an issue. Sure she gets messy sometimes, but we just clean her up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676123 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 15:59:31 +0000 cmomma17 1676123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do use bibs and LO tolerates them 90% of the time. However, he still manages to get food all over his clothes, even under the bib AND then I have to do extra laundry to wash all the bibs ... so yeah! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1676035 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 15:35:02 +0000 Mommy Finger 1676035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: I was going to suggest those. DS never liked bibs when he was eating. But he would tolerate those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675979 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 15:18:40 +0000 Chillybear 1675979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried these?<br /> <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70179754/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70179754/</a><br /> theyre more like shirts or art smocks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675886 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:48:17 +0000 Radish 1675886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer her to be naked. She is fine with bibs, but inevitably gets food everywhere and I have enough stains to treat as it is. So our bibs don't get a whole lot of use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675876 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:46:05 +0000 JerricaBenton 1675876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We totally gave up on bibs by 10-11 months. She's a little messy since she feeds herself. We just dress her in t-shirts or play clothes for meals. Much less stressful once we stopped trying to force her to keep one on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675874 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:45:30 +0000 hellobeeboston 1675874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used bibs, LO didn't seem to care much but we just never thought they were necessary. I guess my son is a pretty neat eater actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675830 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:32:42 +0000 Bookish 1675830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G hates bibs as well (like yours, she was never a drooler/spit up-er, so we didn't put them on her much), so we've given up and she just eats nekkid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675825 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:31:40 +0000 Tidybee 1675825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD will keep her bib on for about 5 minutes of a meal. We have a lot of stained shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675817 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:29:52 +0000 Boheme 1675817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As you've probably noticed from my pics, I can never find a bib so we just feed him naked :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675769 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:20:39 +0000 twinmama 1675769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours just always eat naked (with diaper/undies). No big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675761 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:19:38 +0000 Sammyfab 1675761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son refused to wear a bib from 10 months onward. He doesn't eat super messy foods (soup, pasta - he just doesn't like them). Otherwise, we just deal with the mess although he's not terribly messy. Food has always been a bit of a struggle for us so I wasn't going to force him to wear a bib if it meant he was going to eat something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-bib-less-wonders-out-there#post-1675714 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:07:27 +0000 deerylou 1675714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter is 10.5 months, exclusively on table foods, and will have absolutely nothing to do with a bib. Unlike some of her baby friends, she wasn't a heavy drooler as a young infant, so she hasn't grown up wearing a bib, as a daily accessory. </p> <p>When we first started solids, she was mostly eating purees, and tolerated a bib, to an extent. However, as she's gotten older, she desperately yanks at it, and cries until it's removed. She's such an enthusiastic, happy eater, and I'd hate to turn mealtime into an aversive activity, so I usually allow her to eat, without. I've started shaping it a little, having her wear one for a short period of time while eating super reinforcing food, but ehh...</p> <p>We've tried several kinds of bibs - the heavy ones with the scoop at the bottom, muslin, terrycloth, cotton; she'll have none of them. She's fine wearing clothing with tags, hair accessories, you name it. It's just bibs.</p> <p>Anyone else have this issue? Did you keep trying, or just accept the extra mess? </p>
