Find Your Baby’s Bib Size

How to Choose the Right Baby Bib Size:
- Neck Circumference:
- Measure the baby’s neck using a soft measuring tape. A comfortable fit around the neck is essential, as it ensures the bib stays in place without being too tight or too loose. The neck measurement provided in the size chart will help guide you.
- Age and Growth:
- The baby’s age and development are important factors when choosing a bib. Newborn bibs are smaller and mainly used for drooling, while toddler bibs have a larger surface area for feeding, as babies start to eat solid foods.
- Bib Style:
- Velcro, snap, or adjustable bibs: These are some common fastening options. Adjustable bibs are a great choice because they can be used for a longer time as your baby grows.
- Consider the length and width of the bib. For older babies and toddlers, you’ll need a bib that covers more of the chest and shoulders to catch more food and liquids.
- Material:
- Look for waterproof or absorbent materials, such as cotton, terrycloth, or silicone. Waterproof bibs are especially helpful for preventing liquid from soaking through, while silicone bibs are easy to clean and perfect for messy meals.
