BoyGirl Baby Bibs Analysis

         A baby bib is an item of clothing worn hanging from your baby’s neck to help keep clothes clean from various spilling, such as saliva and food (Merriam-Webster, 2021).

         Spit up, drooling, and messy eating are all components of babyhood. If, therefore, you do not desire stains on your baby’s clothes, BoyGirl Baby Bibs from Canagoza are important accessories (“Baby bib types compared,” 2021; “The difference between baby drool bibs and feeding-time bibs,” 2020).

         Using a baby bib/s will save you from having to wash your baby's clothes often, including after every meal. The bib is your best friend, especially up to toddler years.

         BoyGirl Baby Bibs are soft, comfortable, and stylish. They have a good fit. The bibs are characterized by an adjustable closure around the neck. Thanks to the closure, a BoyGirl Baby Bib remains in place. 

         The baby bibs are compact and foldable. They are thus travel-friendly – they are simple to take along while traveling.

         The baby bibs are available in different unique colors as well as vibrant prints.

Types of Baby Bibs

         There are four major types of baby bibs: drool/dribble, feeding, smock, and newborn.

1. Drool/Dribble Bibs

         All babies drool. Drooling is the flow of saliva out of mouth unintentionally. Drooling is common in the first two years of human life. That is because infants frequently develop complete control of swallowing and mouth muscles when they are between 18 and 24 months old (“What causes drooling,” 2019).

         In fact, drooling might begin as early as three (3) months or four (4) months old.

         Drooling is not always a sign of teething. Nevertheless, babies drool when they are teething. A baby's first tooth frequently appears between five (5) months and seven (7) months old (Stanford Children’s Health, 2021).

         Because of drooling, infants’ saliva may quickly make a fresh shirt, bodysuit, or other clothing appear like it has been worn for some days. You will thus be doing more laundry. To avoid this, put a BoyGirl Drool Bib on your baby/babies and their clothes will stay cleaner/dry. 

         The bibs are perfect to use when babies are drooling and teething. They capture the drool and prevent it from seeping through to your baby’s skin (“The difference between baby drool bibs and feeding-time bibs,” 2020).

         A drool bib covers your little one’s upper chest and neck. In case your baby has began to crawl, the drool bibs shall help keep clothes, furniture, and other surfaces drool-free.

         Drool bib also helps to prevent drool rash. Drool rash occurs if your little one’s skin is wet with saliva for a long timeframe and the skin becomes irritated (Scripps, 2021).

2. Feeding Bibs

         Feeding bibs are a great necessity when your baby begins eating food – during weaning. They protect clothing from liquids and solid food while you are feeding your baby. The bottom of the bib might have a pocket that prevents food from falling down (“The difference between baby drool bibs and feeding-time bibs,” 2020).

         Usually, BoyGirl Baby Feeding Bibs from Canagoza are bigger than drool bibs. The feeding bibs offer wider coverage with the key objective of protecting your baby’s clothes and skin. The feeding bibs prevent dribbles and spills from causing rash (“The difference between baby drool bibs and feeding-time bibs,” 2020).

         The feeding bibs are your go-to for each meal. Make mealtime and clean up simple with BoyGirl Baby Feeding Bibs. The bibs have a soft feel and are comfortable to wear.

         Because the bibs have an adjustable neck, they grow with your baby. They offer waterproofing and simple-to-clean convenience. 

         The feeding bibs are available in different trendy colors and patterns (Canagoza, 2021).

3. Smock Bibs

         Messy mealtimes are difficulty to avoid when it comes to little ones. Luckily, smock baby bibs help keep liquids and solid food off your child’s clothes during feeding.

         Smock baby bibs are also referred to as long-sleeved bibs. One reason is that they cover from neck to knee. The bibs are worn like a shirt and make mealtimes more fun. Smock bibs are, therefore, perfect for infants learning self-feeding (“The difference between baby drool bibs and feeding-time bibs,” 2020). 

         As they cover from neck to knee, the bibs can also be used during other activities, such as painting, art and craft, and playing in dirt.

         Some smock bibs come with a catch-all pocket to catch food bits that do not make it to your little one’s mouth. Thus, the bibs will not mess up with your floor.

         Smock bibs are waterproof and typified by snap/Velcro closure for easy removal. They have elastics at the end of sleeves. The elastics are responsible for preventing food from moving up sleeves (Canagoza, 2021; “The difference between baby drool bibs and feeding-time bibs,” 2020).

4. Newborn Bibs 

         Newborns require bibs because they might spit or vomit – they have some infrequent drool/spit up (Mack, 2018). Newborn baby bibs from Canagoza are made from soft waterproof fabric and come complete with two fasteners that are on the side of the neck. As such, you are empowered to put on and take off the bibs with no difficulty.

         Newborn bibs are the perfect size for a newborn in that they are small cloth bibs designed to fit your newborn baby’s tiny neck. Eventually, you should aim to shift to the larger bibs, such as feeding and drool bibs (“The difference between baby drool bibs and feeding-time bibs,” 2020).

How Many Bibs do I Require for My baby?

         It will depend on three factors, one of which is your baby. The rest are your feeding routine and laundry schedule.

         A good starting approximation, however, is five newborn bibs that could be sufficient to last a week, at least 10 drool bibs, and at least two feeding bibs. Of course, there is no right or wrong in having more bibs (Bartlett, 2020; “How many bibs do I need for my baby?” 2021; Mack, 2018). 

Engineering Materials used to Make BoyGirl Baby Bibs

         BoyGirl Baby Bibs are manufactured from waterproof engineering materials that are significantly durable. The bibs are made with two layers for increased absorption. The outer material is made from cotton. The inner is made from cotton boucle/frieze laminated with TPU.

         Cotton boucle yarn is thin spun. Cotton boucle fabric is characterized by a bold texture. The fabric has a much lighter feel and significant absorbent qualities, and it washes well. It is significantly durable in that it endures wear and tear significantly.

         Frieze is typified by nap on one side. It is the nap raised through brushing. Frieze might be Jacquard woven in order to get a sculptural or ribbed effect.

         The materials used to manufacture BoyGirl Baby Bibs are free from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and phthalates, ensuring your baby’s safety.

         The materials are also flexible, empowering you to take the baby bib/s anywhere you go. They are soft and endure drool and spills. Besides, the materials are quick drying.

Caring for/Cleaning of BoyGirl Baby Bibs

         BoyGirl Baby Bibs are convenient and reusable (apparently). To maintain optimal quality of your BoyGirl Baby Bib/s, aim to wipe it clean using a damp cloth after each use to remove stains, including fruits and vegetables stains. The damp cloth can be a microfiber coral fleece or plush towel from Canagoza.

         An alternative to wiping is rinsing in cool water after each use. Or, you may soak the baby bib in a mixture of white vinegar and water for some time. The mixture should be based on the instructions of the white vinegar manufacturer. Then, wash the baby bib.

         Please regularly hand-wash your BoyGirl Baby Bib/s. Close fasteners before washing. Do not bleach. Wash with same colors.

         Please do not wash or dry using a machine (dryer) or wash using hot water. Doing so will damage the TPU, reducing lifespan. Instead, air-dry your BoyGirl Baby Bibs.

         Please also do not iron.
