How many bandana bibs do I need?

Most parents find 8-10 bandana bibs sufficient for a newborn, allowing for multiple changes throughout the day and accounting for laundry cycles.

When should I start using a bib for my baby?

With every meal, your baby is getting better and better at eating, but chances are not all of the food on your little eater’s plate is going to make it into their mouth (especially if you’ve got a self-feeder). Spills and dropped food are inevitable, so you’ll definitely want some bibs to contain the overflow and keep your kiddo’s cute outfits pristine (well, relatively). Even if your baby isn’t eating solid foods yet, bibs can still be a huge help for catching drool and spilled milk or formula. Babies grow so, so fast, and you’ll want bibs that last more than just a couple of months, so look for ones that have adjustable closures and can fit a range of neck sizes that will last at least a couple of years. No matter what feeding stage your little one is in, there’s a pick on this list of best baby bibs to help keep them clean and dry.

Are there bibs with built-in food catchers?

Yes, some bibs have food catchers or pockets designed to catch food that falls or spills during feeding. This helps reduce mess and makes cleaning up easier.

What are burp cloths used for?

Burp cloths largely serve one general purpose: to keep things clean when baby (inevitably) spits up. Not only do burp cloths take the brunt of spit-up, but you can use them to wipe milk dribbles, sneezes or whatever comes your way. Here’s our picks for the best burp cloths that can handle big messes.

How many burp cloths do I need?

During the newborn months and beyond, you’ll use burp cloths 24/7. ​​It’s recommended to have several burp cloths on hand, as babies can spit up frequently. If you’re planning to do laundry every other day, you can get away with having about six to ten burp cloths on hand. If your laundry day is once a week, aim to stock up on closer to two dozen. Either way, don’t be surprised if you find yourself going through three or more burp cloths a day. Stock up on durable burp cloths that are soft, absorbent and hold up well after zillions of washes.
