Our son was the same way and starting refusing a bib at two. We just changed him when he got messy, and I stopped buying him any white or really light clothing.

I find wasting that much water to be a big deal. I'd rather use the bib than have to do an extra load of laundry.

Both of mine would pull them off and toss on the floor. Oh well, thats why we have washing machines.

NP here. So what about whites clothes? My 13 m/o has ruined a bunch of white onesies when we didn't use a bib. Also, do you really change your DC's clothes 3x a day? No way I'd do laundry that often.

Mine both went through a phase of pulling the bib off at 2. After that, I was able to get the bib back on until about 3. I agree about the stains.

My 2yo still wears one when eating something messy that could stain (spaghetti, chili) or when he's wearing a particularly fancy shirt which is like two or three times a year. At home we will put a bib on him more often but I never remember them out and about. He doesn't particularly mind them.

After about 12 months when he could pull off all of them. Just wash the clothing. Two is way too old.

Honestly, my kid is almost 3 and still wears one when she's eating something that is guaranteed to stain or something that's messy (yogurt, applesauce).

She's never worn one. We tried and she always grabbed at it and tried to yank it off, so we stopped bothering. I've taught my 2 yr old to be pretty neat by focusing on a lot of small motor skills. Her tops still get messy but you know, she's TWO. It all comes out in the wash anyway.
