When you need to protect your clothing while eating, use a towel with binder clips as a "bib".
Tie the ends of a lightweight cord or yarn, long enough to go around your neck plus a bit more, to two binder clips.
Using a small towel or something of that nature, attach the binder clips to two corners and you have a quick "bib" for whenever you are eating something messy. Detach when done, wash the "bib" and either take apart the "bib" holder or put away for another time.
I would use this for an older child. I don't know if it would be safe for a baby or toddler because of the metal clips.

Reminds me of childhood and my parents simply sticking a corner of a towel or napkin in my shirt collar and spreading the rest out on my chest ;-)
I was never allowed to dine without a paper napkin stuffed in my collar and spread out over my shirt.
I could definitely use something like this, lol! Hubby tends to do the "towel-tucked-in-collar" thing with a paper towel.
Actually, this tip would work for anyone of any age who tends to be a messy eater.
I always have my boys tuck a large paper napkin in their shirt collar while dining. I learned this trick when I was in ROTC as this was required by our instructor in order to keep our iniforms spotless. This is the best way to keep shirts stain free.
Paper napkins or paper towels can either be tucked in the collar or attached to dental bib clips as you suggested. The good thing about using paper is that it is disposable and you don't have to wash something made of cloth.
