    Default Bibs

    Just wondering if if yous all provide bibs?? Most of mine have never brought ones in their changing bags so I've always used my own on the babies. New baby starting in next few so looking to get some new bibs but them wondered if everyone provided them

    It clearly says in my welcome pack that parents should provide their own bibs, but they never do so I end up using the ones I have in!

    I provide. I use these: MAM Bibetta Ultra Bib Bubbles (Blue): Amazon.co.uk: Baby

    Each child has 2 - they wipe really easily and dry super quick. Really comfy with a great crumb tray pocket.
    When I set the table in the morning it is so easy just popping out each child's bib, which I keep in the drawer with serviettes for grown ups.

    I provide bibs, then at least I know they're clean! In the past, if I used the child's own bib, I'd find they'd get left in the nappy bag forever and end up mouldy.

    I have my own ... soft pelican bibs that go through the dishwasher and assorted fabric bibs with and without long sleeves that go in the washing machine.
    I then don't worry what happens to them as sometimes we use them for messy play/painting etc!

    I provide bibs for meal times but parent must provide bibs for dribblers. Not providing the 6 bibs a day some of them get through.

    Well popped into sainsburys yesterday and picked up some dribble bibs reduced - packs of two for £1.25. Just need to order some bigger bibs for meals and snacks. Hate manky bibs so I've binned all other bibs once child has grown out them x
