Disposable Bibs for Baby: Mommy’s Dirty Little Secret?
Disposable bibs join the ranks of plastic water bottles, paper towels and disposable diapers as necessary evils, even a godsend, and an environmental malice.
Little girl eating spaghetti.
It was a precious moment. My niece was sitting on a high chair with a plate of rice softened with broth as her right hand grasped a spoon. She was having a blast, alternately trying to finagle some food into her mouth, and then merrily pounding the spoon just beyond the plate’s perimeter. Then the spoon caught the plate’s edge and in one fell swoop, the plate flipped upside down onto the floor along with its contents. Sound familiar?
It’s no wonder parents turn to disposable products in their quest to save time and bring a semblance of sanity into their lives. Babies are messy eaters and have potty bottoms. But with increasing concerns about the environment, what is the tipping point for acceptable consumptive behavior? You know that baby won’t tell, so in the privacy of your home, what choices do you make?
Cocobohème disposable bib
I suspect it still comes down to convenience and cost. I’m not riding my high horse because I use paper towels when I make bacon in the microwave, and I’ve contributed my share of plastic water bottles in landfills. But I’ve made baby steps in other ways, like using cloth napkins in place of paper.
Another tipping point for my decisions is a product’s visual appeal. I’ve purchased paper napkins because of their lovely patterns. I’ve also hoarded paper napkins because of their lovely patterns. What can I say? Pretty things feed my soul. That was my reaction when I was introduced to Cocoboheme’s line of disposable bibs. They’re not only gorgeous, they’re also environmentally friendly.
