Frequently Asked Questions

All children are unique, however most children will require only 1-2 bibs a day compared with other bibs.  The combination of thirsty bamboo in the core and the waterproof backing will mean less changes are required.

We always encourage you to use your own judgement on what saturation you are happiest with, but rest assured, even a soaked bib will not soak through to clothing. 

It isn't essential to wash before wearing, but you will find the absorbency is better once they have been washed (just like new tea towels for example).

It is also normal to see some shrinkage in jersey cotton fabric after its first wash.  If the edges of the bibs have curled up a little, they can be ironed on low after the first wash and you should find this restores the size and shape of the bib if this has happened. 

Care instructions for washing can be found on the back of the bib label for easy access when needed! 

• Wash at 40C
• Air dry where possible, or tumble dry on low 
• Aerate wet bibs to prevent damp (remember they are waterproof and can only dry if the top side has access to air)
• Smooth out your bibs before drying
• Iron on low if required
• Do not wear for feeding as our bibs may stain. 

We understand that you have invested in our bibs to last for the day, therefore avoiding wearing during meal times will prevent bib changes and ensure they can stay on your child unspoiled and prevent bacteria. If you do find a stain, the best method to remove this is a cool rinse and direct sunlight.  Leaving your bib on a windowsill or washing line to help the sun lift the stain is an easy and natural way to remove discoloration.  Cloth nappy users swear by this method and it has worked well for us to!

Mould

If your baby is sick or if milk/food gets in the bib, ensure this is thoroughly washed out same day to prevent bacteria being trapped inside the fabric. Please remember we do not recommend our dribble bibs are used for feeding. 

In warm conditions, waterproof items that are wet can become damp and stagnant if they do not have access to air dry, so it is advised that you do not leave wet bibs in the baby bag, washing basket or washing machine for a long period of time to prevent damp smells or mould.  Bacteria can also form on the fabrics if they have been used for feeding or when baby is sick. To avoid this do not wear during feeding. Rinse out any food substances/reflux before leaving in the washing basket and in warm weather you may prefer to wash the bibs same day to prevent unseen particles of sick/milk from souring on the bib and causing mould.  

Once washed, we advise removing them from the washing machine promptly to avoid warm and damp conditions.  If items have become damp and smell, consider using a bacterial fabric wash to soak your bib to freshen it up.  

Please note that while we offer this advice, it is out of our control if bacteria should develop due to environmental factors such as warm weather or misuse and we encourage you to use your best judgement in washing and drying your baby items.

We endeavour to offer you a bib with a waterproof protective layer however that requires you to care for the bib as you would any other waterproof item and ensure it is able to dry and that it is used as advised; for dribble only.  Evaporation can only happen when air can access the top of the bib to dry all layers; therefore keeping it top side up when drying will aid better evaporation.

Now serving children up to 10 years old!

They are made from a specialist polyester fabric with a baby safe polyurethane laminate coating and a unique patent pending design!
This means they remain breathable, preventing sweating and skin irritation/rashes without being a rigid crinkly plastic backing. Our waterproof fabric is tested to ensure it is free from harmful chemicals, leads, phthalates, dyes and nasties, securing an Oeko-tex Standard 100 testing badge (meaning they are designed specifically for babies and safe to be worn against their skin!)  

No - our bibs are designed to tackle teething dribble only and are not made for weaning.  We don't reccomend that yor baby wears our bibs during meal time or feeding; this inlcudes milk feeds, as the soft jersey fabric is just like clothing and may stain.

For more information on caring for your bibs see the FAQ 'how do i care for my bibs'.

If you accidentally stain your bibs, as we know children can be a little messy! You can try a stain remover or the more gently method of leaving the stained bib in direct sunlight to lift it out.

We always recommend that you remove a bib from a sleeping baby.
