Safer Bibs for Drooling Babies
By metropolitanmama | June 20, 2008
My daughter never was much of a bib-wearer. She actually didn’t drool a whole lot and I just preferred to change her clothes after messy meals instead of using a bib (not sure why - I think I’m just a minimalist by nature…).
That said, I know plenty of moms who have their little ones wear bibs all day long because it is easier for them.
If your little one is the bib-sporting type, this is something new to consider. Bibs & Match offers “innovative bibs that attach directly to the onesies to help prevent strangulation and suffocation.”
Molly, a mom of two and the inventor of the product, explains how she thought of the idea: “There were numerous occasions when my baby fell asleep with a bib on and I didn’t want to disturb him to unsnap or unVelcro the bib from the back of his neck. Then I’d worry about bib strangulation.” As a result of this frustration, she did what so many moms amaze me in doing - she created a solution!
Bibs and Match sets feature simple, modern, cartoon-style animal pictures and can be interchanged easily - the “heads” on the bibs match with the “body” on the onesie. Very clever! That is my favorite feature of Bibs & Match (besides the safety feature, of course).
At present, there aren’t a whole lot of designs to choose from and the ones that are available tend to be more boyish than girlish in my opinion, but the website states that they are meant to be gender-neutral.
Bibs & Match sets can be purchased online or at a retailer near you. The sets are available in the following sizes: 3-6m, 6-9m, 9-12m.
WIN IT! One winner will receive a Bibs and Match 3-Piece Set. To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Friday, June 27 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.
*UPDATE* The winner is #24 Gen. Congratulations!

neat idea
June 20th, 2008 at 6:06 am
What a creative idea. I think that once word of mouth gets out,this idea will just explode and it will be the next it thing
June 20th, 2008 at 6:33 am
The bibs are really adorable. I have a baby on the way and really am intrigued!
June 20th, 2008 at 6:49 am
Great design. I had a spitter and it wasn’t fun to cover up those darling outfits with a bib that more often than not - didn’t match.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:54 am
I’d love to win. Please enter me in your great contest. Thanks.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:59 am

June 20th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Cool idea… and great designs.

June 20th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Great idea. I thought the normal bibs look a little uncomfortable.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:28 am
This is such a good idea…one of those ideas that seems so common sense, but amazingly someone only just now dreamed up.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:38 am
I’ve seen these before and I think it’s such a fun and practical idea. And the little monsters are so adorable!
June 20th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Very cute and a unique idea! I’d love to give them a try!
June 20th, 2008 at 8:57 am

June 20th, 2008 at 11:38 am

June 20th, 2008 at 11:55 am
This is adorable.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
extra nice
June 20th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
the monsters are interesting but this is a really neat idea!
June 20th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Great idea!!!
June 20th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I would love to try these. My first two kids were HUGE droolers- I think due to teething and they started teething WAY before we saw teeth. Their entire fronts would get soaked and I used bibs constantly- what a great idea this mom had! Thanks for introducing us to such a cool product!
June 20th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
cool prize
June 20th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
cute
June 20th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Wow, I am amazed that someone has come up with something like this. I’ve just begun to need bibs for my 3 month old (lots of drooling) and I felt the same way about unsnapping a bib from him when he’s fallen asleep, as he is a really light sleeper. I’d love to try this, as I don’t want him to strangle himself if he naps with the bib on. Thanks for sharing!
June 20th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
i love the bibs they are so cute
June 20th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
My #1 was not at all a drooly baby. Her sister more than makes up for it. Daily we have wet wet shirts. My mom brought her some little bibs but I too was worried about letting her sleep with it on but didn’t want to wake her with the ever so loud velcro sound (which I was going to spell out but realized I have no idea how). Lovin’ this invention and wishin’ I was one of those ingenious moms.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
These are too adorable !
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win !!
June 20th, 2008 at 9:49 pm

June 21st, 2008 at 3:58 am
COOL
June 21st, 2008 at 4:16 am
These bibs are so cute, And a great idea.
June 21st, 2008 at 4:19 am
Would love these for my first grandbaby this year!
June 21st, 2008 at 4:52 am
wow
June 21st, 2008 at 4:53 am
I would love these for my son.
June 21st, 2008 at 5:59 am
cute- Much more stylish than putting any ol bib on
June 21st, 2008 at 6:07 am
Those are to cute!

Pick me!
June 21st, 2008 at 7:57 am
just to cool
June 21st, 2008 at 7:57 am
What a clever idea! I hate when the baby is all dressed up, then ruining the look with a bib.
June 21st, 2008 at 8:07 am
Very cute
June 21st, 2008 at 8:56 am
i would love to win this for my friend’s baby
June 21st, 2008 at 9:51 am
What a good idea. And while I agree that they’re more “boyish than girlish”, I think a baby girl can wear them just fine!
June 21st, 2008 at 10:11 am
How cute - what will they think of next! I can’t keep up with all this cute stuff.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:56 am
super adorable!
June 21st, 2008 at 11:34 am
What a clever idea. I’m past this stage but my best friend just had her second and could use it. Thanks.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Not something I had a problem with when my children were babies, but this is a cute idea, and maybe my granddaughter will be a heavy bib user for her coming child.
June 21st, 2008 at 12:05 pm
This is so cute! I’d love to win!
June 21st, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Such a clever and innovative mom; I’d give this to friends who have just entered parenthood:)
June 21st, 2008 at 1:33 pm
What a cute idea. My son is 6 months and is a little drool monster so he could definatly use these. Thanks.
June 21st, 2008 at 1:40 pm
What a smart idea.Would love to win this.Thanks
June 21st, 2008 at 2:05 pm
I was just pulling out all the old baby clothes and noticed that my little guy ruined just about all of his 9-12 month onesies. I guess I should have put a bib on him more often…oops. This looks so fun!
June 21st, 2008 at 3:25 pm
how cute and a great idea!
June 21st, 2008 at 4:16 pm
I love this! thanks, great prize. Thanks for all the contest.
June 21st, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I’ve never heard of bib strangulation. My youngest wears them a lot because he’s a big spitter upper. Now I have something new to keep in mind. I do always use velcro ones and he doesn’t sleep with them on….oh boy…always something new to think about! This product is a great idea!
June 21st, 2008 at 4:41 pm
This is a really cute idea. I hope the site will continue to expand and have a variety of these sets available. I really think that there is a market for them and not just for a one time thing.
June 21st, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I may possibly have the messiest baby on earth, so this would be fantastic!
June 21st, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Those are absolutely darling. How can anyone resist them?
June 21st, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Great idea! Hate having to tie the ties.
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:54 am
great for a new grandbaby due in august.

June 22nd, 2008 at 1:41 pm
My daughter was always a mess. My father said, Wow, she really throws herself into a meal! I would give the bibs to my sis in law who is due soon. My girls are 12 and 10, though the 10 year old…maybe.
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:25 pm
my granddaughter is expecting and I would to be able to give this to her baby.
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Super cool idea! I would love to win.
June 22nd, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Happy Sunday! What a fun idea. I like the way the bib head sits on the body of the onesie. Please enter me in this drawing. Thank you, Cindi

I would love to win this for my new grandson due in sept. Babys and bibs are a must.
I love unique items. So entering contest trying to win some awesome gifts, so please count me in.
Thank you for offering contest and giving me a chance to win.
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I do like bibs and outfits to match if possible, and now that Cheeks is teething and drooling like mad the bibs are getting a lot more use. I don’t like putting her down to sleep with them on because of the choking possibility, though (as the creator said), so this looks like a great option for that. I agree that it would be nice if there were girlier options for my little beauty, but I’ll take what I can get. Thanks!
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Kids do drool when they eat and when they teeth so these would come in very handy.
June 23rd, 2008 at 1:18 am
This is a neat idea for baby! I like the designs offered.
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:13 am
These bibs are adorable! And such a great idea, too.
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:36 am

June 23rd, 2008 at 11:01 am
the bibs are adorable
June 23rd, 2008 at 11:35 am
I think the concept is awesome and really well thought out! Cheers
June 23rd, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Thats very smart. As my son got older he would always try to rip his bibs off. With them snapped on, instead of a little piece of velcro I dont think he could!

June 23rd, 2008 at 2:39 pm
thanks like it
June 23rd, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Those are hilarious! The three piece set is precious- I love how the different heads match with the different bottoms. I also like the pacifier clip they have on the website.
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Oh my gosh CUTENESS OVERLOAD! Everything is just adorable for the little ones these days!
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:30 pm

June 23rd, 2008 at 7:26 pm
these sets are really cute!
June 23rd, 2008 at 10:43 pm
My son didn’t just drool…he spit up long after the 6 months that Dr. Bob told me it would stop…needless to say we went through many a bib. Now that he’s eating solid food it’s even messier.
I love this…innovative bibs that attach directly to the onesies to help prevent strangulation and suffocation…is she a nurse? haha!
June 24th, 2008 at 1:00 am
What a great idea!
June 24th, 2008 at 2:25 am

This is a wonderful idea! It would make a perfect shower gift.
June 24th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
What a simple yet brilliant concept! Expecting #2 and would really love this.
June 24th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I would love a new bib set, my older ones are not in very good condition after two boys! These are much cuter too! I think my new little one would love some fresh bibs! Thanks!
June 24th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
I never really used bibs with my kids either, but this would make a really cute baby gift.
June 24th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
These are precious! It’s such an innovative design too.

June 25th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
The bibs are too cute. Sure hope I win.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Real cute!
June 25th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
My second son has definitely needed bibs more than his older brother. He is a big boy, so some of the bibs out there don’t fit him well. This concept looks like it might work well for him!
June 25th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
The bibs are adorable!
June 25th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
So Cute!!
June 25th, 2008 at 8:48 pm

Wow! Cute stuff!
June 25th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Great design.
June 26th, 2008 at 1:52 am
what a cute idea, necessity really IS the mother of inventions, and yay for mother inventors!
June 26th, 2008 at 6:07 am
Have 4 month old grandbabies that will be drooling soon when those precious teeth come in, so I could really use these.
June 26th, 2008 at 6:12 am
Great idea! I’ve had that same problem with my 7-week-old daughter… I keep bibs on her because she sporadically spits up all day and hates to be changed from one outfit to the other, lol. So sometimes it’s just easier to have bibs on her. Thanks!
June 26th, 2008 at 6:37 am
I love this idea, too cute
June 26th, 2008 at 6:43 am
Since I have alot of bibs, I know a mom-to-be who needs everything and I would give this cute prize to her.
