How do you decide what bib to put on your baby, and are bibs ever appropriate for adults? The DadLabs guys put these baby products to the test. They discuss the benefits of cloth bibs, disposable bibs, and trough bibs for babies. Make baby feeding easier. DadLabs ep. 13 The Lab.

Daddy Brad: Howdy there Due Dad and welcome to the Dad Lab at www.dadlabs.com. I’m Daddy Brad.

Daddy Clay: And I’m Daddy Clay. Welcome, table for two? Let’s talk about bibs. First of all, why don’t more adults wear bibs?

Daddy Brad: Everybody should wear a bib.

Daddy Clay: Makes perfect. Keeps all the food and stuff off your clothes and tie. It’s a really practical thing, so wear a bib. Or not. Because they look pretty stupid. Actually, bibs are better for kids. Let’s talk about bibs for your children.

Daddy Brad: Standard infant bib. This little baby, flat bib, put it around the neck.

Daddy Clay: Yeah, but the infant’s not eating food. That baby’s getting formula or breast milk. What does he need a bib for?

Daddy Brad: Drool and spit up.

Daddy Clay: That’s true. My third baby was a drooler. You might have one. He drooled all the time. Buckets and buckets. So much so that his clothes would get saturated and he even started getting a rash because of it. So even if though he’s not eating, a bib is a good idea.

Daddy Brad: Disposable bibs.

Daddy Clay: Now these are a great invention. In case you’re going to be going out of the house and going to be having a meal with your kid, these are a nice thing. When I was raising my kids I just left a trail of bibs and sippy cubs at restaurants all over the pace. Take one of these with you, one less thing to worry about, when you’re done with it you throw it away. No trail

Daddy Brad: But the mother of all bibs. When your child starts feeding themselves, TROUGH BIBS.

Daddy Clay: This is the daddy of bibs. You’re definitely going to want one of these. When the baby starts to be able to feed him or herself, the handfuls of goop that goes in the mouth, most of it goes down here and instead of going in the child’s lap, it lands in the trough.

Daddy Brad: Soup is always better the second day.

Daddy Clay: Which is sort of the drawback of the trough, that that food is available for seconds in case the baby wants to dip back down in there. Although how do you discourage them? That combination of flavors, sometimes you might find a winner. Peaches and ketchup?

Daddy Brad: Oh, that’s good.

Daddy Clay: So, bon appetite. Happy eating, from the Dad Labs.
