One of the most surprising things you’ll learn when you have a baby is how many different types of bibs there are - and how many you’ll end up using! Whether drinking from bottles, eating solids, blowing raspberries, or teething, babies are constantly making messes that require outfit changes if they’re not wearing bibs.
There are different types of baby bib fabrics depending on what you’re using them for. Milk and drool bibs are usually made of cotton or other absorbent materials to soak up liquid, while food bibs are made of silicone or synthetic materials so they can be easily wiped clean. You’ll want to buy bibs that can protect skin and clothing underneath, are easy to clean, and feel comfy for your baby to wear. Not to mention, they should be cute for taking photos of your baby!
