Teething, dribble rash, wet chest...1 year old won’t wear bibs!

So today I changed my lively 1 year olds top five times....maybe 6.....he is teething like mad, constantly dribbles and soaks through every top I put on him. He hates bibs! He screams and shouts until he’s won the battle and manages to pull it off himself or face plants the floor kicking his arms and legs until I give in and remove it.....Help please!! What does everyone else do?? I’m mostly concerned that his chest gets cold and wet or sometimes sore (dribble rash?) I’ve tried literally every make of bib going... he is breastfed so I’ve never used muslins or anything else around his neck as he’s just not used to it and obviously now is fully aware of what’s going on....any advice/ideas gratefully received 🙂

Tuck a bib down his top? Stick a pantyliner inside on his vest under his top? Dry him every do often with a hair dryer?

Teething is horrible.

If the house is warm enough try without tshirt maybe? My girl was the same when teething, she was streaming with it. After 3 days i gave up putting tops on her when she stared dribbling.

Hi guys thanks for the responses, I’ve tried with the bib down his top and it just drives him mad and I do sometimes leave his top off when in th house, it’s just when we have to go out.... I wondered if someone had some miracle solution or maybe most babies are just well behaved and wear a bib lol :)
