It is very pleasant for every mother to watch her child eat, even though the fidget is constantly spinning around and smearing food on clothes or on his face. The same delicious puree is found on toys, doors and other various objects. For such circumstances, a baby just needs a bib. In the people there is a synonym for the word "bib", this word is "bib".
Do you know how to choose the right bib for your baby? What, in general, bibs are there and how do they differ from each other?
Bibs differ in purpose, in appearance and in what age they are designed for. When choosing a bib, each mother should remember how neatly her baby eats. If a child drops only a small amount of food on his clothes while eating, then a soft terry bib will do. If your baby is throwing a lot of food around, then you need to choose a plastic bib with a pocket for collecting food.
Very young children, under the age of six months, are careful in their food intake, since their main food at this age is breast milk, and the mother controls the process of eating on her own. For these babies, the bib should be pleasant to the touch, soft so as not to cause discomfort and easy to wash.
As a child grows up, his diet changes, it becomes more varied and such food leaves hard-to-remove stains on clothes. To avoid contamination of things, you need to buy a bib made of a denser material. Bibs made of fabric that are lined with oilcloth are ideal.
The plastic bib refers to heavy artillery in the fight for cleanliness. When a child learns to eat on his own, then all the problems with washing that were up to this moment will seem like a trifle to you. A plastic bib should be thin and light. The edges of the bib should be rounded to contain food. Be sure to check for yourself if the bib can scratch the delicate skin of your baby.
Children, even when they grow up, sometimes need a bib. Therefore, there are bibs on sale that are made in the form of aprons. They can be used when a child draws with paints, because it is quite difficult to remove paints from a blouse.
There should be a lot of cloth bibs so that you can put on a fresh and clean bib before each feeding. With daily washing, 5-6 pieces are enough for you. One plastic bib is enough, as it is very easy to rinse it with lukewarm water after each feeding.
Bibs are on buttons, Velcro, ties, with and without sleeves. For older children, you can choose a bib, which is attached with buttons or ties, since their coordination of movements is already formed, so the bib does not need additional fixation. For babies, it is better to buy bibs with sleeves, which resemble a vest, dressed backwards. The baby will not be able to take it off on its own, and the clothes will remain clean after feeding.
Good shopping and bon appetit to your baby!
