Pullover Baby Bibs: The Best Way To Keep His Clothes Dry And Clean

One of the hugest problems with a newborn is that this precious little gift from heaven goes through quite a bit of clothes. There are many ways to resolve this problem.

That is, there are many ways to cut down on the number of pieces of laundry you have to do in a day. Of course, one option is to use a bib, but if you do not have a pullover bib one is recommended.

Benefits

A pullover bib is like a smock. It covers more area so that your baby’s clothes will not be soiled after a meal. It also helps prevent the baby from getting wet when water spills, that is if you choose a non-cloth type.

It also helps prevent from having to try removing impossible to remove stains. This is especially helpful if your baby is out somewhere and wearing expensive clothing.

Description

A pullover bib comes in different sizes. The idea behind it is that it is supposed to be large enough to cover baby’s clothes.

Usually they are made out of cloth, plastic, or rubber materials. Sometimes they have a little catch tray to stop dripping food from falling on a baby’s pants, socks, or shoes.

The catch tray also can stop food from falling to the floor. In case you are wondering, the most commonly-used pullover bib are the ones made of cloth.

It is because they are the easiest to wash. However, ones made of rubber or plastic can help prevent a baby from getting wet.

Styles

Pullover bibs are not just always plain. Some of them are very colorful and some of them are even made with different cartoon characters (i.e. Barbie, Winnie the Pooh, Snoopy, Hannah Montana) printed on them.

Some pullover bibs are like a big towel, which comes in handy. However, some of the most novelty ones come with handmade designer appliqués on them.

Buying Guide

Whether buying for yourself or putting them on your registry and having someone buy for you, a few suggestions will help. It may be in your best interest to choose pullover bibs for all occasions, and you will need several.

You might want a plainer one for everyday use. You also might want to get a few fancier ones that you would take with you while at a restaurant or going to a social function.

Other Suggestions

For the fun of it as well as for the purpose of creating a memory you may want to sew your baby’s name onto it. You can either do this yourself or have it embroidered on each pullover bib for you.

When choosing a pullover bib remember that it not only needs to catch spills but it needs to be as comfortable for the baby as possible. Perhaps a cloth on with a lining may be your best bet, or maybe you can choose one with plastic over cloth.

However, again you are reminded the most popular ones are the cloth ones. These are often used simply because they are so easily machine washable. Besides, to prevent liquid spills you can always use a “sippie cup.”
