Maisey Mae's Larry the Lobster

elizabeth leach — Sun, 17 May 2009 16:00:00 GMT

Maisey Mae's embroidered bibs and burp cloths are almost too cute to use, but their superb quality makes them durable enough for every day. Maisey Mae's founder, frustrated by the lack of soft, quality burp clothes that were also not an eye-sore, started making her own burp cloths from high quality, 100% cotton diapers. Now, we all can burp our babies in luxury!

Maisey Mae's new designs for summer are festive and sweet. Bibs are backed with thick, striped chenille and can be personalized. All Maisey Mae's bibs and burp cloths can be machine washed and dried. The above gift set of two bibs and one burp cloth is $40. See more at Maisey Mae.

Green Baby: Simply Smocking!

Cathy Hale — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 00:00:00 GMT

If you've ever been around a curious 15-month-old, you know meal time gets messy FAST. Flipping the spoon upside down, poking crackers with a fork, dumping bowls and other fun stunts. Now clean up is a snap thanks to the Baby Bjorn Eat & Play Smock. If this doesn't keep your baby from making a huge mess, I'm not sure anything will help! This smock is free of chemicals, easy to clean and can be used for other messy (yet fun) activities too. Retails for $26 at BabyEarth.

Six-Pack of Fun Dogs

elizabeth leach — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 21:30:00 GMT

Browsing through the "featured items" on Etsy, I saw my daughter's absolute favorite toy. A friend gave her this Six-Pack of Labs and she has found so many ways to play with these adorable beanbags. The Lab is an Etsy Shop selling handmade goodies celebrating one of the most popular dogs in the country, the Labrador Retriever.

You don't have to be a Lab owner to love this shop. The Six-Pack of Labs are perfect for the all time favorite toddler game of putting them in a box and taking them out (over and over). My daughter loves to carry them around in an old purse or shopping bag. Beanbags are available in black, off white and chocolate for $18 a pack.

Check out The Lab's gorgeous bibs, too, and super cute pencil cups! Every item is made durably and artfully. Everything is boutique worthy, but at very reasonable prices. The below bibs are only $5 each!

Your Kids Can Dilly Dally In This

Lisa Estall — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 18:59:00 GMT

I am definitely using my Dilly Dally Bibbie! It’s a reversible bib that looks cute and does its job of keeping unwanted "gook" off your child's clothes. It reminds me of a mini apron and I was looking for something like this for my 3-year-old son when I saw him use an apron at daycare at mealtime.

Your child can wear this at mealtime, playtime, and while doing crafts.I think it's a brilliant product! It's made of 50% cotton and 50% polyester and you just toss in the wash for cleaning. A plus is that it's made in the U.S.A.

The bibbies are $35 and come in sizes for babies to children up to 5 years. Check out Dilly Dally.

Hilarious Burp & Belch Bib Set from Wry Baby

Aaron Burgess — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:00:00 GMT

Baby's burps are nothing to hide -- they're a compliment to the chef! New from Wry Baby, this Burp & Belch Bib Set from Wry Baby totally gets that -- and as the bibs' Batman-worthy bubble captions make clear, Wry Baby also gets that feeding time = funny time once baby starts letting 'em rip.

$24 per two-pack at Wry Baby.

Baby Bling: RUN DMC Chain Bib

Lisa Estall — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 22:42:00 GMT

Since I'm not a rap fan I probably wouldn't buy this bib for my daughter. That said, I'm sure there are plenty of parents out there who will. This RUN... DMC chain bib by Sourpuss could make your baby the talk of the playground. Make sure you bring the boom box with you too.

It's $12 and sold at Babesta.com

Bibs to Go: Spit Up or Sanity Saver?

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 14:00:00 GMT

The nice thing about Bibs to Go (besides the SAMi design, we mean) is that you can conveniently toss this pad of 20 tear-off, spill-resistant paper bibs in the diaper bag for use whenever you need it. The bad thing, of course, is that whole "to-go" concept. For the same price (or less), you could have a single, washable bib for just the same purpose. Your call, greenie.

$11.95 from Spoon Sisters.

Bodum Enters Kids' Tableware Market, Adorably

Aaron Burgess — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:30:00 GMT

While this crocodile print is particularly cute, Bodum's entry into kids' tableware covers a variety of kid-appealing designs, from cats to his and hers themes to an adorable ghost that'd be perfect for any kid who considers every day Halloween. Each $19.95 set includes a plate, mug and bowl, and you can coordinate even further thanks to themed placemats and bibs (sold separately). Take your pick at Bodum. [ohdeedoh]

Twinkle, Twinkle Fabric

AmandaHill — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 16:00:00 GMT

If you're the crafty sort, you'll love this Twinkle, Twinkle pattern. If you look at it long enough, you can see that it has the lyrics to the famous song on the print. The fabric could be great for blankets, bibs and the like--if you are a crafter. I, personally, would muck up a homemade bib. Either way, this is an awesome fabric.

It's 100% cotton and medium home decor weight. Check it out at the A Little Goodness Etsy Shop.

Woodsy and Lil' Hootie Gift Set

AmandaHill — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I am head over heels for this Woodsy and Lil' Hootie bib and quilt set. You will be too! The felt is made from recycled plastic bottles. Click behind the fold to read more and see more pictures.

This is the blanket folded. I love the grainy print.

The bib is just as cute as the quilt. You can find the Woodsy and Lil' Hootie Gift set at Coco and MilkWeed's Etsy Shop.

Monogrammed Cupcake Bib

AmandaHill — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT

This monogrammed cupcake bib is one of the cuter products that I have seen on Etsy lately. The bib is made with soft minky fabric on the front and Robert Kaufman's popular cupcake print on the back. Click behind the fold to see pictures of the back.

This monogrammed cupcake bib is available from Sweet Adeline Designs, an awesome Etsy shop. Just make sure you specify which letter you need monogrammed at checkout!

All thrills and no spills with Silibibs

Lisa Estall — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 00:30:00 GMT

Want something different in a bib? These are not made of cloth, but of food grade silicone! Silikids was created by two moms who wanted to produce a line for children that was hypoallergenic, toxin-free, and made entirely out of silicone. The result are these cool Silibibs!

The Silibib lays flat on a child's chest and is easy to wipe clean. That's a plus for a parent.

The rubbery feel reminds me of a mini place mat! I think they are very stylish and what's great is that they are dishwasher and dryer friendly. Also, they come in four attractive colors.

Visit Silikids to buy them.

T-Shirt Bib for your Baby

AmandaHill — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:30:00 GMT

If your baby is in the drooling phase, you are probably tired of all of the bibs. That is where this shirt, the My Biby Tee comes in handy. The ears of the animal on the shirt are soft and bib like. They can easily be used to wipe the drool from your sweet drooler's face. The shirt comes in the elephant or pig style and is machine washable. The t-shirt is cotton while the animal is made from a Terry cloth blend. Pick your My Biby Tee up for $32.00 from the Spoon Sisters.

After a long weekend of non-stop eating with a toddler in tow I’ve decided this is a must have for the holiday season.

The laminated spill mat is a generous 42 inches and comes along with a velcro bib, spoon and washcloth.

5 Perfect Presents for Bronx Mowgli Wentz

SunnyChanel — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:42:00 GMT

On November 20th, Pete Wentz of the pop-punk band Fall Out Boy and pop star Ashlee Simpson welcomed their brand new baby boy. The name? Bronx Mowgli Wentz. As you ponder the name choice, you may also be wondering what kind of coming home present should welcome little Bronxy home? Well here are five tips for the family, friends and/or fans of the couple.

BMW Toy Car
To honor baby Bronx’s initials, which are BMW, this Cabrio EL Toy Car BMW 3351 which is a replica of the real thing. Yeah, he won’t be able to drive it till he’s three but hey, it’s something he’ll grow into. $650

Disney The Jungle Book 12” Baloo and 8” Mowgli Plush Doll Set
Yeah, we know that Baby Bronx will probably have a nursery full of Jungle Book dolls, but the more the merrier right? It’s Baloo and who doesn’t love Baloo? $18.99 here.

Map of Manhattan and Bronx, New York
A perfect wall hanging for the nursery, so Bronx can know how to get around himself. $19.99 from All Posters

Bronx Infant Bodysuit
Yes, this may celebrate the Godfather more than The Jungle Book but still it will tell the world who he is. $16.99 here.

Boogie Down Bronx
Since both parents are in the music biz, you know there’s gonna be some loud and raucous tunes blasting in that crib. For dinner and dancing, this Boogie Down Bronx bib is more a command than simply a food catcher. $11.99 here.

Drooly Bib Has a Dry Sense of Humor

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:04:00 GMT

As novelty bibs go, the Drooly Bib has a practical side to match its silly looks: The soft, 100% cotton top layer is offset by a waterproof inner layer to help keep slobber and spills from dampening baby's clothes.

$9.99 from Perpetual Kid.

Bibs with Baby 'Tude: Crocodile Creek

Erin Behan — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 18:06:00 GMT

I'm a big fan of Crocodile Creek's products. My new favorite find is their bibs, festooned with adorable animal drawings and sayings that toe the line between design-y but kid-cute. They are 100 percent cotton and coated with thermo polyurethane to allow to easy wipeoff---and free of PVC, vinyl and phthalate. They also have a handy pouch to hold wayward broccoli and drippy yogurt. Besides the adorable "It's time to eat" hippo ($7.50), above, Amazon has a whole host of designs.

“Brooklyn” Bibs on Sale

Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:00:00 GMT

There’s a reason why celebs coo over this company’s bibs, burp cloths and such. I'll admit that it’s hard for me to get too excited over bibs, but the Brooklyn Limited Edition Bib Set from Plain Mary is simply beautiful. More reminiscent of a sophisticated Scalamandre fabric than the typical terry cloth spittle catchers, these bibs deserve some ohs and ahs. And even better, the set's on sale now for $37.40.

Baby Juicy Couture Sale at Gilt.com - Up to 50% off!

SunnyChanel — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:38:00 GMT

I’m not a fan of the velour pants with a great big “Juicy” on the ass, but other items in Juicy Couture’s collections are simple and really quite cute. Juicy Couture has done well with their baby and child line from pacifiers to pantsuits. The one thing about it? The price. The stuff ain’t cheap. But tomorrow October 21st at Gilt.com there will be an exclusive Baby Juicy sale, which will only last a couple of days.

Scarf Style Bibs

Lisa Mulcahy — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:34:00 GMT

Keeping drool from dribbling all over baby’s cute clothes needn’t involve a giant terry cloth bib to cramp her style. Try a scarf-inspired spit catcher instead.

Available in wide selection of colors and styles to suit both boys and girls, Skibz bibs, $15.99, are an attractive alternative to the traditional bib. Like a high fashion accessory, Skibz bibs coordinate with and accent outfits for a totally cool look.

Big Deal: 20% Off Bumkins Super Bibs

elizabeth leach — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT

Bumkins are my favorite bibs. They are lightweight so they can be rinsed and hung to dry for the next feeding. They don't stain. They are machine washable and still look good after many washings. They are also odor resistent which is very helpful when hanging to dry and using for another feeding. There is a crumb pocket which I still don't understand but maybe as my baby gets older I will. And Bumkins bibs come in cool patterns and colors.

And now they are 20% off at Baby Center Store ($5.55)

Baby Bottle Bibs

Lisa Mulcahy — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:00:00 GMT

Drabs and dribbles got you down? Maybe it’s not the baby that needs a bib, but the bottle. Designed to lap up the excess milk or formula that drips out of babies’ mouths while they’re feeding from a bottle, as well as protect against leaky bottles, Ritzy Bitzy’s Baby Bottle Bibs, ($9 for 2) are made of an ultra soft and absorbent microfiber. These patent-pending pads fit snuggly around all brands of bottles and are machine washable.

Chris Ford — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 21:55:00 GMT

They have some partisan offerings (Tiny Democrat or Teeny Republican snapsuits) and some more general designs like "Give Kids the Vote!" But my favorite is the "Veto Veggies" bib, on sale for only $8.40. They're perfect for baby showers too, provided you agree with the new baby's politics.
