I hear that a lot of people don't have to use diaper bags for their LO when they become a toddler because they just use less stuff, you can get a straw cup of water at restaurants instead of lugging the sippy, etc. LO is 2 and still a very messy eater depending on what she's eating. For example, we had Thai last night and she loves their soup..... but the soup was all over her face and bib. She would have been a mess without one.
When did you stop using a bib?
