7 of the best baby dribble bibs 2024
WHAT ARE DRIBBLE BIBS?
Baby bibs are used to protect the clothes of newborn babies who dribble a lot or are prone to posseting.
They often have a cotton front and a soft, fleecy polyester back to soak up any liquid and prevent your baby’s clothes getting wet.
Do you need dribble bibs?
It depends very much on the baby. A good alternative is a muslin cloth.
What to look out for when choosing a dribble bib
There are two main styles: a traditional style bib and a bandana style bib. A bandana may be better at preventing any drool or milk dribbing down the neck as it comes higher up. But some traditional bibs have an extra absorbent padded neckline.
They are usually attached with Velcro or poppers.
