Not if it's something simple like bagels with cream cheese or quesadillas. DD has REFUSED to wear a bib at home since about 9 months but wears one at school without a peep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2236434 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:56:45 +0000 CakeLady 2236434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure they don't, even though they have some there and I have brought some in, and asked them to put them on him. I don't care so much about his clothes, I send him in clothes I don't mind getting dirty, but I don't love when he is covered in crusty food which then gets on my clothes when I pick him up... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2236425 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 14:52:27 +0000 mauxie 2236425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. They have lots and lots of bibs and change them throughout the day. They use the big old shirt looking bibs for messy meals and just regular bibs for drooling. There is a washer and dryer on site for the infant classes. But, he still comes home messy most days from other things.. paint, playing outside, etc. haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2236124 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 10:55:40 +0000 psw27 2236124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guessing my daycare does not because I packed one when he first started solids and it was never used... and now he comes home coated in whatever he's been eating all day. Ugh. So annoying... its probably a state law though, they are super strict in MA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2236017 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 09:48:14 +0000 .twist. 2236017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's a really messy meal they will, otherwise nope. We had to ditch bibs a Loooong time ago any way because L just refused to wear them and would tear them off. I just expect him to come home dirty and I don't send him to daycare in stuff that I don't want to get dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2235886 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 08:27:24 +0000 nana87 2235886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they put bibs on my 15 month old when she's eating anything messy, like yogurt. her classroom, which is mixed age up to 3 years, has bibs for all the kids (it's on our list of things to bring in), so I assume the older kids get bibs too sometimes! that said, lo comes home covered in paint or whatever they had out that day so I just don't send her in with her nicest clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2235781 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 06:55:20 +0000 hellobeeboston 2235781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: my 2.5 year old (and the other kids in the class) get bibs for certain foods - like yogurt in cups! They provide them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2235751 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 06:08:01 +0000 lamariniere 2235751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ktdid23: I'm in Austria, so things are a little different here, but that could be one explanation. That said, I brought in one of those soft plastic bibs, so no chance she would fall asleep with it on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2235725 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 05:04:33 +0000 ktdid23 2235725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: I responded to you above :-)</p> <p>ETA: I work as a Head Teacher for a daycare/preschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2235723 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 05:03:41 +0000 ktdid23 2235723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: What if you just pack a bib in your child's lunchbox? State laws usually say that your just can't let a child fall asleep (for nap) with a bib on. Otherwise, there's really no laws that would prohibit your child from wearing a bib, so I would ask for a real reason as to why no buns are allowed. </p> <p>Or, when you get to daycare, pull out a bib and place it near the fridge or where you put her bottles. Make sure it's clearly labeled. There should be no issue for the teacher to pop it on her before meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-2235718 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 04:40:31 +0000 lamariniere 2235718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump!</p> <p>My DD is 19 months and comes home in different clothes every single day because she spills her lunch all over herself. She has also stained/ruined a number of outfits. Yesterday I finally asked if they could put a bib on her, and even brought in one from home, and the teacher said the school director does not allow them. What? She couldn't tell me the reason why. Has anyone else had this experience or understand why no bibs are allowed? For info, every day they have soup, then a main course, then dessert. She ALWAYS spills soup all over herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275876 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:47:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1275876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since they feed themselves yes, they put bibs on them up until about 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275824 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:38:23 +0000 littlek 1275824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No bibs after 12 months. It's annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275818 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:36:56 +0000 mediagirl 1275818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: you sound like me right now. I can't wait till she gets out of this room... I don't understand why teachers would think it's okay for kids to walk around a mess after lunch. Would they want to walk around with a stained shirt on all afternoon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275806 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:33:47 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1275806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's not in daycare, but dh doesn't put bibs on her and it drives me nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275795 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:32:04 +0000 Mamaof2 1275795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 12 months - no bibs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275775 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:27:20 +0000 bpcmarj 1275775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. I did get a picture sent to me of a clean plate after a picky morning and she was wearing some kind of disposable bib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275684 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:02:28 +0000 autumnlove 1275684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No bibs! I've never asked but I'm sure they would be ok with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275680 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:01:13 +0000 MamaMoose 1275680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No and it makes me INSANE. When I pick her up and she's a mess I always say things like "Wow M, you are sooo messy. You need to wear your bibs when you eat". We've got some issues with the teachers in her current room though and honestly I have to pick my battles... so I don't push too hard on the bibs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275657 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 09:57:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1275657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's a messy meal they will, but normally nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-daycare-put-bibs-on-your-toddler#post-1275637 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 09:53:29 +0000 mediagirl 1275637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would they if you asked them to?</p> <p>Today they are having pasta and I really don't want my 18 month old coming home with her new shirt stained so, I asked that they put a bib on her. It's the first time I've asked them to do that....they don't normally. Does your daycare? Do you ask them to? </p>
