LO didn't spit up or drool and even when she did, i just wiped it off! i got a bandana bib for this LO because i think they're so much cuter! if DD2 is a drooler, i will get more of those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310789 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 11:45:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2310789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have like 20 (friend gave me her hand me down set and I already bought the green sprouts pack), plus I have a bunch of cute bandana ones that I put on DD when we're out.</p> <p>I think 10-20 is totally normal; DD is 9 mo and drools a ton on and off due to teething. Plus as she eats 3 meals a day, even with the plastic bibs over,s sometimes her cloth bibs still get dirty. I like being able to just toss as many as I need into laundry without worrying she won't have anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310787 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 11:44:19 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2310787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>neither of my kids were big droolers and teething didn't seem to affect them too much either. charlie did have phases of drooling when multiple teeth were coming in, but in general we probably had 5-6 bibs total and it was more than enough. i think i had less drool-y than average babies though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310674 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 09:59:32 +0000 LilSprinkles 2310674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were given tons of bibs, but only used a handful of them (mostly plastic) around 6 months when DS started eating solids. He was never a messier eater, so around 15 months we stopped using them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310665 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 09:52:04 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2310665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>major spitter over here! One day, I came home from daycare with 5 used bibs -- they are a bit overzealous with changing, but still! I bought a pack of 10 and kept them in his cubby, but was still washing and restocking every 2-3 days.</p> <p>ETA: those thick gerber prefolds were a lifesaver too. We have a drawer full, and at 1 year old, we still have them around the house for unexpected spitup (the transition to cows milk has been messy) or excessive drool from teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310634 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 09:24:13 +0000 ShootingStar 2310634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS drooled a lot and it seemed like milk was constantly getting everywhere. I think there was a point when I couldn't have had too many cloth bibs. I agree with others - hold on to them and see how many you end up using. If you don't need too many you can always give some away later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310580 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 08:30:52 +0000 DesertDreams88 2310580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeeaaaahhhhhh, she also gave me about 10 burp cloths and another friend gave me 20 thick prefolds (cloth diapers). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310541 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 07:50:19 +0000 MrsADS 2310541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6 wk old has severe reflux and out of control spit up. For him bibs ain't gonna cut it! The spit up would just overflow over the bib. So I've never used bibs. But I probably have 20 burp cloths, cheap Gerber cloth diapers (work great for spit up), and tons of washcloths. </p> <p>I am sure we won't use bibs until he starts drooling or eating solids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310514 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 06:52:04 +0000 yin 2310514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I needed so many bibs for my kiddos. For spit up, I used burp cloths. Cloth bibs were for drooling and plastic bibs for eating. Both of my LOs drooled a lot, and sometimes they would go through 6 bibs a day. I don't do laundry everyday and loved the luxury of having lots of bibs on hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310508 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 06:34:43 +0000 looch 2310508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a lot of bibs! I had 4 that i kept in regular rotation once we started solids and I tended to use burp cloths for other feeds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310502 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 06:25:32 +0000 SweetiePie 2310502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 25 because mine was a major spitter and drooler. We probably had around 20 and still ran out occasionally. But we're probably an extreme.<br /> I would still keep them all until you know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310497 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 05:55:21 +0000 ineebee 2310497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is a pretty big drooler. In order to avoid drool rash, I find I have to change his bibs around 8 times daily, ideally. I voted for all the bibs all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310486 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 04:22:16 +0000 regberadaisy 2310486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would hold on to them! My first was not a spitter or drooled. My second spits up some and is a MAJOR drooler! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310482 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 03:16:50 +0000 lamariniere 2310482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had about 12 bandana bibs and 4 or 5 AA cloth bibs for catching spit up and drool. Some days I would go through 4 or 5! We also had plastic food catcher bibs for meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310471 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 00:06:10 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2310471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not to threadjack but......@Jess1483: @macintosh: if you happen to want some bibs that are unused and collecting dust, feel free to wall me. Pay shipping and I'll send 'em to ya for free!:grin: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310459 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 23:10:28 +0000 Jess1483 2310459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 only used them for eating. </p> <p>DS2 easily goes through 5-10 bibs a day, so it depends on how often you do laundry. It's kind of remarkable. I wish I had more bibs, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310442 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 22:35:01 +0000 lilteacherbee 2310442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 8 week old spits up a lot, so we easily go through 20 bibs a week. I don't remember my older LO using as many (maybe 1-2 a day), so I guess it depends on the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310440 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 22:29:37 +0000 macintosh 2310440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I would love that many bibs! My 5 month old still spits up, despite being on Enfamil AR, and we go through at least 5 bibs a day. Your mileage may vary :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310434 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 22:01:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 2310434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: I have tot ally regifted some of the ones we were given! They were still in the package so.. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310430 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 21:56:18 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2310430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were gifted bibs upon bibs upon bibs, and the only ones we used initially were for spit up-the A&amp;A Burpee Bibs (which I bought-these weren't in the 30+ we were gifted). I maybe used 3 or 4 of the gifted ones when he did oatmeal, but once we moved on to real food I bought waterproof bibs and the cloth ones are still sitting unused. I definitely won't be giving bibs as gifts in the future now that I see how little they get used! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310415 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 21:28:40 +0000 cascademom 2310415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have probably 15 bibs, but they're the plastic ones that I can throw in the washer and hang dry. I never used cloth bibs with my first kiddo. I sometimes use them with my second kiddo, but he's teething and has had some reflux issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310384 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:44:10 +0000 dolphin 2310384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted 15. I have 10 pack and go through them pretty quickly. DD spits up a lot so I'm always doing laundry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310379 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:38:45 +0000 Rocker2014 2310379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO spit a lot, but it was always a little bit projectile so it went right over bibs! She's not a drooler either, so I've never used any of the millions of cloth bibs I was given. We do use the plastic ones since we started solids.</p> <p>Fwiw, both of my friends with LO's the same age as mine used a million bibs daily... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310377 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:36:37 +0000 Smurfette 2310377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had days when she went through 6 a day easily. Day care would change them often. That doesn't include bibs for eating. We did bibs over her bibs for meals(plastic). She wore one every day for about 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310376 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:33:28 +0000 californiadreams 2310376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: i did this too, only used plastic bibs for meals. I have two, so in case one is still dirty or wet, we have always a clean dry one ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310373 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:30:05 +0000 CakeLady 2310373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never needed many. DS wasn't a spitter, we only used bibs for times when he was teething and drooling like crazy and for meal times. I'd say 4-5 absorbent drool bibs and 2-3 wipeable food bibs has been plenty for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310371 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:28:34 +0000 nana87 2310371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We basically only have used plastic ones that we wash in the sink. LO's not a big drooler or spitter-upper </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310370 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:28:10 +0000 MrsF 2310370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found burp cloths (prefolds!) to be most helpful for my very spitty-uppy kids. We use cloth bibs for drool and plastic bibs that can be wiped down for meals. So.. for us: 10 cloth bibs, 10+ good burp cloths and 2 plastic bibs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310369 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:24:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2310369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only used a bib for meals. And it was a plastic one I could wash clean in the sink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-of-bibs#post-2310367 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:21:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 2310367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would hold on to all of them until you know if your kid is a spitter. Mine wasn't, so ten was probably enough, 15 would be plenty. My friend easily would have used all 25 bibs for her reflux kid. </p>
