Everyone is telling me to put a bib on Alex as he's always spilling, and that invariably means a change of clothes for someone!
This morning he managed to spew and it went down the back of his neck - don't ask me how he was sitting up on my knee, the kid is just talented.
So, what do you do when they fall asleep with the bib still on? Is it safe for them to sleep with a bib on? I know pulling it off would wake him up, and sleep is so precious, I don't want to wake him for anything!

I always removed the bib - too much of a choking hazzard IMO. Unless she was in a car seat, then I left her as she could hardly tangle herself up in it.

It's not recommended to put babies to bed with bibs on because of the choking hazard, I would take it off.

Might have to invest in some ones with domes etc on the back so you don't have to pull over the head. I never put kids down with bibs on.
I used to have heaps of hand towels all round the place. I used to call them my mop. I would just use he towel popped under the chin If I though bub might fall asleep.
