Bibs

Are you currently breastfeeding or transitioning your baby from breastfeeding to solids? You'll want to stock up on basics and extras at Macy's. We carry supplies for nursing & feeding, from bottle warmers to burp cloths, along with all the baby gear & essentials you'll need for other parts of your baby's daily routine. Today, we want to walk you through different types of bibs and how to use them. Did you recently bring home a newborn? Even though you already own a bib for newborns, your baby will require a larger bib to manage drool and different types of bibs for solid food. We'll help you sort out the best bibs for infants below.

Fabric Bibs for Drooling
Do you know those soft, absorbent newborn bibs you bought back before your bundle of joy arrived? They'll be too small after a few months. Purchase at least one larger-format cloth bib since this style is the best bib for drooling. Some moms like traditional cloth bibs, while others prefer the stylish look of infant bandana bibs. While cloth bibs offer lots of absorption, they aren't as capable of handling mealtime messes once your baby starts eating solid food. In short, cloth bibs are just right for managing drool and spit-up, but silicone and plastic bibs are good at catching food when feeding your child solids.

Silicone & Plastic Bibs for Feeding
If you're looking for a bib for feeding (not drool), go with a silicone or plastic bib. These options are better at catching food spills than fabric bibs. They're also waterproof, so they clean up easily, either by a quick wipe-down in the sink or a run through the dishwasher. Remember that feeding bibs are best suited for larger infants over 4 months old. Many molded versions have a crumb-catching pocket built into the design, so fewer bites land on your baby's lap. Meals will be pretty messy for a while, so it's a smart move to buy at least one pack of bibs at once. That way, a clean bib for feeding is available when you need it. As your child grows, you can upgrade to larger bibs that cover more surface area.

Whether you're shopping for items to streamline baby food & formula prep or the best silicone bib for infants, you'll find it at Macy's.
