Best Bibs for Baby Led Weaning (2023)

Your baby + your baby’s food = inevitable messiness. Fear not, friend! From one mom to another, I have researched and tested these amazing bibs to save you from more unnecessary cleaning. 

After talking with parents, I’ve noticed we are all looking for 3 things when it comes to purchasing bibs. (1) how clean will it keep my baby (2) how easy is it for me to clean the bib, and (3) what’s the price? So, I decided to highlight these features first and then include the other details (such as size, color, material, eco-friendly, etc.) below. I hope this helps!
