Hello my little one has eczema around his neck so have been popping a bib on him to keep it dry from dribble and using cream regularly . My question if if he falls asleep in a bib is this safe for him to do so ? I take it off at night time but it is if he falls asleep in the day ? The kind I have is fabric and either Velcro or popper fastening .
Thank you 🙂 I can’t find any proper answers when I have googled

Can anyone tell me if there is any reason why I shouldn't put my baby to sleep wearing a bib? It's one of the closer to Nature ones, so soft around the neck and velcro fastening, not a tie. I thought I'd safety pin the bib bit to her sleeping bag so it doesn't flap up and cover her face. She's soooooo sicky and it would be much easier to change her bib three times a night instead of a full change of clothes, but have never heard of anyone else doing this, so I'm wondering if there's some really obvious danger I'm stupidly missing!

Some parents use bibs for their newborn baby straight away, others wait until they start solids, and some don’t use them at all. So what is the right option for you?

I'm torn. I have not been keeping his bib on at night but I'm tempted too. Most nights our long stretch of sleep is interupted by a big spit up that I can't ignore. It soaks his shirt and I can't bear to leave him wet with the AC on. We're up changing a onsie instead of sleeping soundly till morning feeding.

Is it okay to have a bib on a newborn while it is asleep? Ours likes to burp up / posset shortly before she starts waking up and can create a bit of a mess, so a bib might help. But are there any risks or downsides (eg could the bib choke or smother baby??). Any other helpful suggestions for our problem? Thanks in advance

Could be a completely silly question, but my lo is an extremely sicky baby and needs a bib on pretty much all the time as you just never know when he's going to he sick and it can be quite a lot at a time. However, it occurred to me yesterday, is it safe to sleep with a bib on? Or can they be a strangulation or suffocation risk? Quite often my lo falls asleep with one on and I don't know if I should be taking it off or not?! Thanks. X
