Bait boss regularly, producing childish articles (4)
I believe the answer is:
bibs
'childish articles' is the definition.
(articles of clothing worn by children)
'bait boss regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'bait'+'boss'='baitboss'
The alternate letters of 'baitboss' are 'BIBS'.
'producing' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bibs that I've seen before include "Napkins tied under the chin of a child" , "Napkins tied under children's chins" , "Baby's napkins" .)
