Bibs for babies

Frequently asked questions about bibs

Are silicone bibs with a catch tray the best option?
A silicone bib with a built-in catch tray catches food as it falls, helping to keep your child’s clothes clean and preventing food from ending up on the floor. After meals, simply wipe the water-repellent material with a damp cloth, reducing the amount of washing you need to do.

Should I choose a fabric or silicone bib?
Soft fabric bibs fit comfortably around your toddler’s neck and are excellent at absorbing spills. Silicone bibs, on the other hand, hold their shape and can be rinsed clean under running water straight after a meal. Having both types on hand is a practical way to deal with different situations throughout the day.

Are pull-over bibs practical for babies?
Pull-over bibs have no fastening and are simply slipped over your toddler’s head. However, removing them after a meal can be awkward, as porridge or leftover food may get caught in your toddler’s hair. For everyday use, bibs with an easy-to-open Velcro fastening at the back of the neck are often a better choice.

What should I look for in a bib’s fastening?
Look for soft Velcro fastenings or flat press studs at the back of the neck. These are gentle on the skin and allow you to adjust the bib to fit comfortably around your toddler’s neck. An easy-to-open Velcro fastening also makes putting on the bib quick and simple when your little one is hungry.

How do I wash fabric bibs?
Fabric bibs can be washed in the washing machine after meals. For stubborn stains from foods such as carrots or tomatoes, treat the fabric with a little gall soap before washing. Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions to help keep the bib soft and in good shape for longer.
