Sweet Baby Gifts

My baby NEVER spat up so no, not personally.

The kind where the hook part isn’t all sharp and scratchy, but actually feels just kinda bumpy? And is freakishly strong so the kid can’t rip it off? I want to make my sister a few bibs, but I can’t find any velcro like that.
You actually get velcro samples in the newspaper? Every week? What a strange thing to distribute with the daily periodical.

I tried searching, but I didn’t know what to search for. Thanks.

This is a special velcro called "soft & flexible" and comes in beige, black & white. Packs are 1 or 1.5 yards. Its made by velcro (the company).
I have sold it & used it for years.

Curious if anyone has used those "Pelican" catch-all, plastic baby bibs. I’m wondering if the white ones will harbor a ton of stains, i.e. from sweet potatoes, carrots, and other veggies and fruits. Sure, it is a bib, however, wanted to see if anyone has used the white one or another type of plastic, white bib, and had trouble with stains remaining, even after using Oxy Clean or Clorox. Thanks.
Has anyone used one of those plastic, "Pelican" baby bibs? I am curious about the white one and whether or not it harbors stains from baby foods. If so, is there a way to clean/remove the stains? I am not one to use Clorox or other harsh chemicals on any of my kids’ items, however, this is a plastic bib and any soap I’d be using will be thoroughly washed off prior to using during feeding, even if I used a little diluted Clorox to say remove stains from carrots, peas, etc. Any suggestions?

Yikes, mommy, don’t use clorox on the bib. If you must use a cleaner, use the Clorox Anywhere Surface … it’s safe to use on baby’s toys, high chair tray, etc. Try putting it in the dishwasher if the plastic is dishwasher safe?

no? the bib has nothing to do with it???? why would it the milk dont come from the bib it comes from the boob

I can’t find any cute ones..all i have found are ugly or leak through the fabric..please help! im tired of changing my baby;s outfits all the time!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE my Mally Bib.
It’s made out of Leather so nothing get’s through, you can personalize it, it has magnets to fasten it and you can also hang it on the fridge!
Wipes clean after you use it and just down right useful!
Not really cheap, but You only ever need one bib!

Hi there, I would like to sew and sell baby bibs and other baby items. It’s important for me to really make products that moms are looking for and I’d like your opinions. Would you prefer snaps or velcro on your baby bibs? (I have a 12 month old, and I vote for snaps but my husband votes velcro so I need more opinions!) Also… What other baby/mommy items would you like to see on the market that aren’t out yet (that could be sewn)? Thank you very much for your answers!
oops! I meant to say "velcro"

My MIL sends us bibs from new zealand and they ROCK! I have never seen bibs like them here ( in Canada) They have neither velcro or snaps, but are rectangular shaped (with rounded edges) and have a hole that you put the baby’s head through. Kind of like a t-shirt opening. Does that even make sense?! LOL So they are covered in the front , and even a bit on the sides/shoulders. And because the opening is stretchy like a t-shirt it is super comfy ( no itchy velcro) AND it gets right in close under their chins ( the elastic-ey part is actually wider than the t-shirt kind of neck elastic, so it covers really well- more like a crew neck or semi-turtleneck??

Good grief I’m not explaining this right! haha. It’s just a pull-over-their-head kind of bib.

ok -found a picture osomethingng similar…

now- all the bibs I have are cotton. if they get the least bit wet they soak right through. I would love a bib that was a bit plastic-ey on the underside but soft and cotton-ey on the top side… AND went over the head Not sure if that’s possible since they have to be pretty stretchy to fit over al sorts of head sizes!

my biggest irk are bibs that don’t come up far enough under the chin - too loose. Then the top of baby’s shirt gets all gross.

oh- and snaps are better than velcro

good luck!

(preferably in a pack of 3 or 5)

Try a craft store. They usually sell them plain so that they can be decorated.

Hi, my little girl keeps dribbling heaps now that she is teething and I think the ordinary bibs for feeding are boring and you can’t see her cute dresses, can anyone help?

A work colleague of mine also told me about
www.Funky-Buddhabibs.net
They do look cute and they have great fabrics.
I’m useless at sewing and don’t have a machine so making my own is not possible!
Hope you find what you are looking for.

my son is teething and he is soaking a teri cloth bib really quickly. i am looking for the bibs with the plastic backs… but i can not find them anywhere around here was looking online but didnt know the name of them….can anyone help with some suggestions please

If you can’t find the plastic backed bibs at Walmart or Target, you can improvise at home if you’re ok with a needle,thread and some snaps.

Take an old dishtowel out and lay it flat on the table. Take a trash bag and fold it until it in half and lay it over one half of the dishtowel (minus a half inch border). Fold the other part of the towel over the trash bag and sew the edges, and attach snaps to the corners (or buy some elastic and put the snaps on them).
