Never used a bib on my nephew and he never got rashes on his chest cos you just change their top more often. How would you like something permanently tied round your neck all day?! Oh and incidently, none of this stops your baby from crying. Some baby rattles have a plastic bit at the bottom with a gel inside you can freeze and baby will suck it to ease the pain. That's just ONE bit of advice. Do you really think people are THAT retarded they don’t know they should mop it up with a muslin?!
