Australian parents know the value of a well-stocked bib drawer. In the newborn stage, dribble bibs protect clothing from saliva and reflux. During teething from 4-6 months, absorbent bibs are constantly needed. Once solids start from around 6 months, silicone catch bibs with a deep food pocket become the go-to choice, catching dropped food and dramatically reducing mess. Many parents keep a large stash of bibs to avoid constant washing. Our range includes fabric bibs, silicone bibs, and waterproof bibs in a variety of sizes and styles. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in baby bibs
- Stage suitability - Dribble bibs for newborns and teething babies, silicone catch bibs for solids, waterproof bibs for older toddlers.
- Absorbency - For dribble bibs, absorbency is key. Look for multi-layer designs with a waterproof backing to prevent moisture reaching clothing.
- Food pocket depth - Silicone bibs with a deep, wide food pocket catch much more dropped food than shallow designs.
- Easy to clean - Silicone bibs rinse clean instantly or go in the dishwasher. Fabric bibs should be machine washable.
- Fastening type - Snap fasteners and velcro are the most common. Adjustable fastenings allow the bib to grow with the baby through multiple stages.
- Size and coverage - Larger bibs provide better coverage for messy eaters. Check the size guide to ensure the bib fits your baby's current stage.
