Mothers, have you really lost your minds? We all do it, we walk in the store and start looking at every baby bib in the store. We don’t just look at the front one in the pack we go through every baby bib in the pack. They are so cute.

Have you read all those little sayings on the baby bibs before you buy them? We’re all guilty of it. Now stop and think for a moment. What are we buying the baby bib for? To catch milk, spit, juice, baby food, and any other yucky little things which escape our baby’s mouth.

The baby bib is being bought to be covered with stains. We want the stains on the bib, because we don’t want them on the clothes underneath. Now remind yourself, why did you read all of those bibs? Does it really matter what design is on them?

Once you start looking at the reality of a baby bib, you’ll start to make new decisions. The first thing you need to decide on a baby bib is how well will it do the job. You want a bib which stops the water, milk, and juices from soaking through to the good clothes underneath. Some of the most effective kinds of baby bibs are the ones with a plastic liner on the back. They don’t look as nice. They may not feel as nice. They are simply very functional.

If you don’t want to have any plastic in your baby bibs, then you should consider the thickness. The thicker the fabric, the better it will block fluids from making their way through. Multiple layers are ideal. The cutest little bibs are usually one layer of fabric with a beautiful design. There is only one word to describe them, USELESS.

In all honesty, you know the truth. Your desire to have the cutest baby bib on your child is not nearly as important as protecting their clothes. They wear the bib for 15 minutes while they eat, and then everyone sees their clothes.

It’s time to make the ultimate fashion statement in your baby bib selection. The finest decoration, the cutest baby bib in the world, is the one covered in stains. It has succeeded in its mission. When the clothes are stain free, and the bib is covered in stains, you should feel proud, your selection was perfect.

Now there is an exception to this rule. Family get together’s and reunions, require a pretty baby bib. Come on, you know it’s true. No where else in the world are you going to be critiqued as hard. Bring along an extra set of cute clothes, and a few extra cute bibs. The baby must be at a full 10 on the cuteness scale for this day.

One of the most important lessons for any parent, is to start understanding what is really important, and what is not. A baby bib is only as useful as the protection it provides. Not even Michelangelo could create a more beautiful work of art than a well stained baby bib.
