Where baby food might wind up, if not in the baby's mouth (3)

I believe the answer is:

bib

(Other definitions for bib that I've seen before include "Baby's napkin" , "Tempest airy spirit" , "Palindromic protective cloth put under baby's chin while eating" , "Child's garment protector when eating" , "-- and tucker" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
