Dribble Bibs For Babies And Toddlers

Think of all the clothes a baby and toddler gets through in his or her first fledgling years. The way the new born grows before your eyes and the speed with which clothes our outgrown is extraordinary! Well meaning relatives and friends may buy most of the clothes for you but the one thing that becomes obvious is the need to protect those cute little clothes from the expulsion of all sorts from the baby’s mouth.The toddler having reached the giddy height of being allowed to sit on his or her own in a high chair sees the act of eating as a strange game where Mummy puts the food into the little darling’s mouth and junior has the job of holding onto the food, even pretending to swallow, before letting it all dribble out over his brand new clothes. This game played over and over in homes around the globe is just the best part of the day for the child. The problem is that the parent sees this on day one and laughs along with the baby. The baby then concludes that this is as amusing to the parent as it is to him so continues the game and makes it more interesting as time goes by. For instance, there is holding onto the food and pretending to swallow. Then there is the opening of the mouth to receive the food before closing shut at the very last second thus ensuring the parent becomes responsible for the ensuing mess spilling from the spoon down the baby’s front. Then to make it more interesting, what parent has not tried the aeroplane tactic, ‘coming in to land.’ Again, baby closes the hanger door just before the actual landing. Eventually, of course, the fixed smile on the face of the parent is really a mask hiding a mixture of frustration and anger…but little Timmy must not know that. Or does he?Bibs are of course an essential item of every baby’s wardrobe and are needed from the very early days to protect clothes from the dribbling you get from all babies as they go through weaning and all the other actions which result in the resurfacing of foods and liquids.
