Bibs are underrated. It’s a fact. In our community, we often hear about and see pictures displaying Pamps, pacis and onesies which definitely are a main part of this lifestyle. However, the power of bibs should not be ignored.
As a 24/7 Daddy, I do rely on them and find them particularly useful and cute when on my little guy. So, what types of bibs are there and why should you consider using them?
The food bib: The usual one. A life saver for caregivers. If you’re into baby food, it is a must have. If you’re into normal food, then there should be less trouble, but use one just in case. It’s never hurt anyone! My little one has not eaten without a bib in months and his onesies and pajamas thank me for it everyday. Those clothes are expensive and we wouldn’t want any baby bolognese to stain those pretty white pajamas, would we? It also allows me to have a bit of fun when feeding him and *purposely* miss his mouth a few times. Makes for very cute pictures every time… Shhh, don’t tell him anything or he could get fussy.😉
You can use a fabric one if you think the meal won’t be too messy, or a plastic one if a bigger mess is anticipated. Plastic ones also have a receptacle so that we don’t waste any of this baby food. Missed it the first time Kiddo? No worries, right back into your mouth!
The baba bib: This one can be smaller, worn for a shorter amount of time and for occasional dribbles. It is here to create a whole routine around bottle-feeding but isn’t generally needed. However, you want it on for peace of mind so that both Daddy and little one can enjoy this very very special moment without any worry. Can also be useful when it’s "burpie time", of course.
The drool bib: I added this one to my little Pamperpacker’s outfits recently. In 2026, actually. One of my goals was to see him more drooly. I think it’s extremely cute and is the symbol of absolute regression. So from now on, every afternoon in his playpen must be spent with a bib around his neck to catch any drooly mess coming from under his paci. You know me, there’s a reward at the end of the week/month if this bib ends up wet constantly over a certain period of time.
Results? I’ve got a drooly little guy when I come back from work almost every day!
The arts and crafts bib/ smock: A bib can be used for painting or drawing activities. Ideally, a smock can be better but if that’s all you have, it will do half the job and that’s better than nothing.
In any case, a bib will make any picture of your little one even cuter. If you enjoy this lifestyle occasionally it may be the perfect accessory to make any little Pamperfiller enter in little space instantly.
My little guy’s situation is a bit different since he is always in this headspace, so bibs have just become a normality and a necessity and I’m very happy about it 😉
