Babies are messy and difficult to take care of on a good day, and even on one of those days, you usually still need the help of several people and specialized items. Take mealtime, for example, and the baby bibs you use to keep things as clean as possible. As your baby goes through the early stages of growth and you keep changing between the various types of food necessary to feed them, the types of messes being made shift, too; fortunately, baby bibs come in various designs to handle it all.
In this article: Moteerllu Coverall Baby Bib, Oxo Tot Scoop Baby Bibs and Nuby Teething Baby Bibs.
Baby bib types
When shopping for a baby bib, there are four types to consider.
- Coverall bibs closely resemble shirts that you slide right over your baby’s head and poke their arms through. Some of these have extra long flaps on the bottom to also cover your eating surface for less clean-up time.
- Scoop bibs have a little pocket on the bottom that’s for catching food that gets dropped or spot out.
- Teething bibs, or drool bibs are miniature bibs that resemble bandanas and keep the shirt of your baby dry while they drool over their teething toys.
- Terry bibs are the “standard” bib and are made of the same material as the average towel to soak up drool and other liquids and foodstuffs.
