A couple months in your parenting gig you may feel like you've more or less gotten it together. In fact you may get so cocky that you start venturing out to eat in places that are not your house. You may even consider bringing your baby to these places... your baby who may be eating food him/herself by this point. Woah!You'll want to be prepared for this and bring along some things to make it easier for both of you - such as a cup they're used to using at home, a small toy, and of course, a bib. We've covered our favorite bibs on this blog before, but we quickly noticed with our oldest the following sequence of events when eating out:
- 1. Bib goes on baby.
- 2. Baby smears food all over the bib.
- 3. Bib gets folded yucky side in and placed in the diaper bag.
 |
| Eons of time pass |
- 4. Bib gets discovered in the diaper bag after a geologic age has passed. It is now super gross and has fostered new life.
Having gone through the experience described above several times we hit upon a solution one day when out for breakfast at a local diner. We noticed another family was eating with their toddler but the child had on a disposable bib. I don't know why we'd never seen such a thing, but we immediately accosted the family and interrogated them to soak in their wisdom. Since then we've been keeping a couple of Disposable Bibs by Mighty Clean Baby
in our bag (in the interim, Munchkin Disposable Bibs has come out with their own version that we haven't tried yet, but has great reviews).
And we've never again had to reach into our diaper bag only to realize we are touching week old banana that's been smashed into a bib... and we've all lived happily ever after!
