Do I need to wash your dribble bibs before use?

It isn't essential to wash before wearing, but you will find the absorbency is improved once they have been washed.

It is also normal to see some shrinkage in jersey cotton fabric after its first wash.  If this occurs, they can be ironed on low after the first wash and you should find this restores the size and shape of the bib. 

 

What makes them waterproof?

They are made from a specialist polyester fabric with a baby safe waterproof coating and a unique design!
This means they remain breathable, preventing perspiration and skin irritation/rashes, without being a rigid crinkly plastic backing. Our waterproof fabric is tested to ensure it is free from harmful chemicals, leads, phthalates, dyes; securing an Oeko-tex Standard 100 testing badge (meaning they are designed specifically for babies and safe to be worn against their skin!)
  

 

How often should I change my babies dribble bib?

Our dribble bibs are designed to last longer than most. All children are unique, however most children will require only 1-2 of our bibs a day compared with approx 5-10 bibs by other brands.  The combination of thirsty bamboo in the core and the waterproof backing will mean less changes are required.

We always encourage you to use your own judgement on what saturation you are happiest with, but rest assured, even a saturated bib will not soak through to clothing. 

 

Are our dribble bibs made for bottle feeding/meal times?

No - our dribble bibs are designed to tackle teething dribble only and are not made for weaning.  We don't recommend that your baby wears our bibs during meal time or feeding; this includes milk feeds, as the soft jersey fabric is just like clothing and may stain or develop mould in the absorbent bamboo core.  

See below for information about avoiding mould on bibs. 

We understand our bibs have a premium price point and that is because they are designed to be worn all day, offering you value for money; however if you feed your baby whilst wearing our dribble bibs you would need to change it straight away and won't be getting great value this way!

If you accidentally stain your bibs, as we know children can be a little messy! You can try a stain remover but the more gentle method of leaving the stained bib in direct sunlight to naturally remove stains has worked brilliantly for us and it is chemical free!


How to avoid mould on bibs 

Mould on bibs could occur for two reasons; trapped food particles in the bamboo core or being unable to dry properly (think of a waterproof tent put away wet - it can’t dry without air). Although this is not common, please note our tips below to avoid developing mould within your waterproof bibs, especially during warm weather seasons.

1. Food Bacteria - If your baby has worn our bib during a bottle feed or meal time, it is possible that the food particles have turned mouldy whilst waiting to be washed.  There is higher risk of this happening if the bibs are warm and damp, so avoid leaving in the laundry basket for too long if they need to be washed, or rinse out any food particles before adding to the laundry basket. 

If your baby suffers from reflux, as ours did, there will naturally be food particles caught by the bib.  We advise to wet wipe away any surface level reflux, or if it is liquid and soaked in, rinse and change the bib to avoid mould developing. 

2. Unable to dry - like all damp fabrics unable to dry, they can develop a musty smell or grow mould.  Our bibs are unlike others as they have a true waterproof layer, which means they need to be treated differently to other bibs.  If you know your wet bibs will be unwashed for several days, allow them air to dry from the top side to avoid them becoming smelly in the laundry basket.  The waterproof layer is great for preventing wet clothes but it does also stop air getting through, but by leaving the bib top side up when drying, moisture can evaporate successfully - preventing damp smells or mould. 

Already developed mould?  Unfortunately this happens on rare occasions, so check back on the above advice to protect your other bibs and consider treating your affected bib with an antibacterial fabric wash soak. We recommend disposing of bibs that don't respond to an antibacterial treatment for best hygiene.
