bibs for BF?

mantle · April 2009

Does the baby make a mess when BF? Do you use a bib or something to catch drool, or is that not an issue? Just crossed my mind and have no idea.

I might start, not because he drools but because I tend to spray all over the place, especially in the mornings when I haven't pumped since the previous day. I go through a lot of burp clothes and tuck them under his chin, might as well use a bib!

Burp clothes for bfing - once we gave him rice c we used bibs. It's up to you and if your kid spits up or leaks all over.

Good luck!

I don't use them when I BF, but I have to when I give him BM from a bottle. He literally sprays it out of the corners of his mouth because he can't latch onto the bottle quite as well.

I just used a burp cloth. Milk doesn't just poor out of the boob (typically) like it does out of a bottle so there is much less mess.

My girls tend to wear the Gerber cloth bibs that have a waterproof layer all the time. When they BF, they sometimes pull off when the tap is flowing :-) and they get dripped on. However, the real reason they wear them is because they tend to spit up (one more than the other), and it's a lot easier to change bibs than outfits! They sometimes dribble when they eat from a bottle too, although not as bad as when they were younger. Before I figured out the bib thing, I used burp cloths, but it was more for bottles than BF.

I have not had to use a bib while BF. I only need a bib when I supplement DD with formula from a bottle. She doesn't let my BM go to waste, even from a bottle. LOL.

She loves her mommy's milk.

I have approximately 223438293842374892 bibs and I've only used one once when she was really fussing at the breast and making a complete mess of me and herself.
