Mummy Monday - To Bib or not to Bib

My daughter is still very young and we have not started the weaning process yet, so today's post will not be a very detailed review of bibs; at the moment, I use bibs for drooling and burping and have yet to put them through a rough test - tomato sauce and pasta I hear you say...

Instead, today, I wanted to share 2 unusual bibs I have been using recently which I think I really useful:
  • Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature milk feeding bibs
  • Mum2Mum's Bandana Wonder Bib

Let's start with the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature milk feeding bibs


These are suitable from 0 months and have an extra absorbent dribble catcher which helps when milk feeding, in case of leaks or spillages. 
The bib is made from 65% cotton and 35% polyester and is machine washable at 30 degrees but not suitable for dryers.

Fairly soft fabric, even after few washes, with a thicker absorbent band which wraps around the neck, under the chin.  It has a velcro neck fastening and because it fastens so close to the neck, it protects cloths from smells and stains as well as getting wet when dribbling. This also helps eliminate rashes and protects baby's skin.

Good size, feels nice and most importantly its close enough to the neck to protect the skin and clothing.
BUT - these do absorb quite a lot and so get wet and soaked very quickly!



Moving on to Mum2Mum Bandana Wonder Bib

This bib is quite unique and I love the look, feel and most importantly how great this bib is.

The bib is made out of 100% cotton, super absorbent towelling with a nylon back so even if the bib gets really wet, cloths and skin stay dry. Great idea!
Machine washable at 40 degrees and dryer safe.

The bib can holds up to a 1/4 cup of liquids and protects against Eczema.
It has 2 fastening settings and according to the label is suitable from 4 months to 3 years. 

This bib is in a shape of a bandana so it look cool and does not cover all of your child's outfit, just the chest area, where you need it.
Great bib that protects against reflux, Eczema and dribbles and look really cool.

Once my baby start on solids and crucially starts making more mess, I will update you on how these bibs perform as well as review other bibs which are more suitable for eating.

If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.

Stay dashing
