Advantages: Good value basics

Disadvantages: Not as well designed as some

Bibs are one thing that you can never have enough of for your baby. I think the media spend a lot of time trying to manipulate parents into thinking they need more baby stuff then they really do, and I am very economical with what I buy, but this is one item you will never have enough of. These packs of five cloth bibs are a bog standard basic, and at £1.90 per pack well worth stocking up on. Plain white, with a thick strap that does up with Velcro at the back. I always felt better with a tiny baby wearing these then the bibs with the thin stringy straps, that look like they could choke baby. As they are white stains are easy to bleach away. Edged in various bright colours. Ideal for tiny burping babies, but unlined, so not so great for older ones…

Which is when its time to move on to Ikea's two packs of moulded plastic bibs for £1. One in red one in blue, although this may have change. Do up at the back with poppers. Shaped to catch drips, mash potato peas etc. Have fitted my son since he was 4 months old, and he's now two. The plastic is quite stiff, so not as comfy as the Tommy Tippy soft plastic bibs, but 25% of the price, so well worth having a couple of for when your other bibs are in the dishwasher. Very durable, have outlasted all my other plastic bibs, so are all I use now, with no problems at all. Very good at not leaking.
