Not your average baby bib
When you enter the solid food stage of babyhood, you see how messy a tiny baby can really be. Newborn spit-up has nothing on mashed bananas and avocado, right?
The Moxie Bib is one of those why-didn't-I-think-of-that mom inventions that I don't know how I lived without. A super-soft terrycloth bib --with sleeves-- that velcros around baby's neck. That's it. There's even a short-sleeved version for summer, though if your kid's messy enough, a long-sleeved one ought to work for you year-round.

The sleeves have cuffs to keep the food out and the soft neckline offers complete coverage so food bits won't sneak down onto baby's clothes. And I love that it can double as an art smock for the older set. In fact, it ought to last well into toddlerhood.

Now, I'm not usually a fan of Velcro on baby bibs, which catch on their clothes, and can sometimes be sharp against their neck, but in this case I like that it makes the sizing adjustable. Still, it would be great to have a snap option in the future. -Stephanie P.

The Moxie bib with sleeves is available at MoxieBibs.com
