Baby Bibs – Guide to Choosing the Right Model

Materials and their purposes

Silicone bibs like BABYJAM Portikla silikonska - blue are ideal for first solid foods as they wipe clean instantly. Cotton bibs absorb liquids better and suit older children who feed themselves. Plastic bibs with pockets catch spilled food and reduce mess.

Silicone bibs – pros and cons

Silicone is completely waterproof, doesn't absorb odors and can be washed in a dishwasher. The downside is it doesn't absorb liquids like milk or soup – they simply run off the edge instead of being soaked up. Brands like BabyJem and Twistshake offer ergonomically shaped models that fit snugly around the neck.

Cotton bibs for older children

Cotton excellently absorbs milk, juices and purees, making it practical for children from one year onwards. They require machine washing after every meal but feel softer and more comfortable against sensitive skin. Canpol and Wee baby offer models with a waterproof layer underneath the cotton.

Food-catching pocket – why it's useful

Bibs with an integrated pocket at the bottom prevent dropped food from falling onto the floor or the child's clothes. This feature is especially helpful during the period when your baby is learning to use a spoon and frequently misses their mouth. Make sure the pocket is deep and wide enough to actually catch food effectively.

Adjustable clasp for growing babies

Quality bibs have clasps with multiple closure levels, allowing adjustment to fit the neck circumference as your baby grows. Avoid models with velcro straps as they quickly lose stickiness after washing. Brands like Lorelli and Bubaba offer models that accommodate growth from 3 months to 3 years.

Maintenance and hygiene

Silicone bibs can be washed in a dishwasher or hand-washed with warm water and detergent. Cotton ones require washing at 60°C to remove food stains and bacteria. Regularly check clasps and edges – damaged parts can irritate baby's skin or allow liquid to leak through.
