We weren’t prepared to accept this blur of work and snack-fixing and work and story-reading and work and grubby (how are they still grubby?...

To a certain segment of the population, babies and pregnant people are fair game for all kinds of bold questions from strangers.

Just as you might tuck a napkin into your shirt when eating a plate of spaghetti or lay a linen cloth in your lap as a sign of good table manners, babies need bibs to intercept spills, drops and dribbles during mealtime. After all, little ones are only just beginning to grasp the concept of chewing versus slurping, eating versus playing with food, and sometimes the spoons you turn into airplanes crash against their cheeks during fussy dinner table episodes....
