They're great because the velcro doesn't stick to and ruin other clothing, but be assured that after about 6 months, the velcro doesn't stick to itself anymore. But usually you'd want to throw them out by then anyway because the spit stains start showing.</p> <p>The turtleneck bibs someone was talking about, I've seen them in babies r us-- they're Closer to Nature brand, I believe. They look cool but are just one layer of terrycloth-- RJ would soak through it in 5 minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28668 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:25:05 +0000 Boogs 28668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: Yeah I figures it wouldn't be a great option for all day. The bibs MommaCommaPhD is talking about are the ones I was referring to, I would definitely recommend those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28640 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:44:22 +0000 Rubies 28640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also the mother of a heavy drooler - it's crazy how soaked her bibs can get! Gross. I'll totally look into those Carter bibs. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28636 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:41:08 +0000 sbjmorgan 28636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are like the ones I use. <a href="http://www.target.com/p/Newborn-JUST-ONE-YOU-Made-by-Carter-s-Frog-3pk-Bib/-/A-13257225" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/Newborn-JUST-ONE-YOU-Made-by-Carter-s-Frog-3pk-Bib/-/A-13257225</a> They actually had the ones I use on the website but I couldn't get the page to load! They're very thick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28505 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 10:48:24 +0000 mommacommaphd 28505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with all the moms that mentioned the Carter's bibs with the waterproof liner in them. They worked great.</p> <p>One caveat- just make sure you get the infant bibs and not toddler size. I got a few of the toddler size and they are still to big for my almost 2 yo- I don't know what giant babies they are made for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28461 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 09:36:32 +0000 BoogieBea 28461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for their input!</p> <p>I have some of the carter's newborn just one year bibs and like them the best so far. I had them when my son was born 2 years ago and hardly used because he never really needed bibs for drool. I bought some more recently but noticed they are not as thick as the previous versions.</p> <p>@TINA: I'll try to look for the ones for eating by carter's. haven't come across them.</p> <p>@ANDREA: I have some bumkin bibs for my son for eating. maybe i'll try it for drool and see how they work. I assume I'll still want something with absorption though.</p> <p>@BOOGS: I have one of these bjorn bibs as well, but yeah, it's probably too uncomfortable to wear all the time.</p> <p>@YIN: I haven't seen the green sprouts ones in person but have read that they're pretty thin. I'll see if I can find some to see in person.</p> <p>@RED: Ah, the bib your describing sounds interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28330 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:56:50 +0000 Red 28330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today i saw a bib that looked a little like a bib with a turtleneck made for droolers. Can't remember the name though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28327 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:50:07 +0000 Laneybugsmommy 28327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No suggestion on bibs but some personal experience of what worked for us when our daughter was drooling heavily. We bought a Inspired by Finn teething necklace to take away some of her teething pain. I wouldn't say its 100% taken away the pain but it has completely eliminated her drooling. It might be worth a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28296 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:22:48 +0000 yin 28296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a fan of the Green Sprouts waterproof terry bibs. It is great for drooling babies. The bib is very soft with no plastic backing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28283 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:37:54 +0000 Boogs 28283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For eating I really like the Baby Bjorn bibs like this: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000BFP0HC/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1323135399&#038;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000BFP0HC/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1323135399&#038;sr=8-1</a> (they come in several colors) but not sure if that's something you want your LO wearing all the time.</p> <p>Otherwise, we just use cloth bibs with plastic backings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28281 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:32:38 +0000 cyndistar3 28281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen some people use some of the terrycloth ones with the plastic backing and they looked like they worked great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28267 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:18:23 +0000 sbjmorgan 28267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an LO with this problem. We have some Carter's Just One Year bibs (or whatever their Target brand is) and they have a waterproof barrier in them, plus they're pretty large. I like them!</p> <p>I was a heavy drooler as a baby, so I knew we'd have this problem. Terrycloth absorbs well but most are so flimsy that they soak through. These cotton/waterproof Carters ones are the way to go! They're the matching ones to the little sets they have in the baby aisle... i think there's gender neutral duck stuff near them. (Mine have monkeys, but I think they have other patterns now) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28265 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:14:38 +0000 SAHM0811 28265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>terrycloth bibs absorb the drool the best IMO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28258 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:05:55 +0000 Andrea 28258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about Bumkin bibs as they are waterproof? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28257 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:05:37 +0000 mrs. wagon 28257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RJ is almost 2 and he still requires a bib every day. At his worst, we went through 3 bibs and 1 shirt change a day, consistently for weeks. </p> <p>My favorite are the large, stiff-backed terrycloth bibs from Carter's. I think they are actually for eating. I bought them in 3 packs. They are best because they have snaps to close instead of the non-catching velcro, which stops sticking and then you have bibs falling off everywhere.</p> <p>Also, don't plan on re-using bibs-- after about 6 months, spit stains show up (even though the bibs looked perfectly clean after each washing!) and it just looks awful. I mostly use bibs now to prevent that from happening to all of his shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28256 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:02:43 +0000 heffalump 28256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking forward to hearing some responses, I also have a drooler! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bibs-for-babies-that-are-heavy-droolers#post-28247 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:43:55 +0000 BoogieBea 28247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is a heavy drooler and soaks up her bibs within 30 minutes of having it on. I'm constantly switching out her bibs and sometimes even her onesie when the bib is soaked through. Does anyone else have a baby that drools a lot? Are there any bibs that worked better than others? </p>
