my eight-month-old have be sit up and eat solid for several month now and , of course , he make a mess every time , since he be , well , eight month old . I get this bib , think it would be nice to have one I could just rinse off after feed he , rather than have to wash a bib every meal . unfortunately , the Bibbity be \* ridiculously \* wide , to the point that he have a lot of trouble reach around it to get at he food . since we feed he a lot of finger food , this be a major deal-breaker . he get frustrated , and eventually just move the bib around so that he can use one arm properly , and then the pocket at the bottom be nearly perpendicular to the floor and most of he shirt be go to get food all over it . the little indent on the side for the arm be positioned approximately at the top of he shoulder , even when the neck of the bib be not touch he neck , which be not exactly what I would call `` useful '' . I be kind of astonished that it be so poor a fit ; he be eight month old , and wear 12m clothing -lrb- at 29 '' tall and 20lb -rrb- ! there be no way this would be a workable bib for a newborn ; I think it might work for he when he be 18 month , but certainly not now .
