Prepare to go “Wow” and “Genius Idea” exactly like I did when I clapped eyes on this seriously neat little product. I give you… the Neckerchew - The world’s first chewy dribble bib for teething tots from Cheeky Chompers!
Dear Baby,
“Here’s a chewy dribble bib
made with love for you
to help catch all your dribble
when your toothy pegs break through
A must have in your wardrobe
cool and stylish either way…
and the special squidgy endy bit
helps soothe the pain away!”
I discovered the Neckerchew when I wrote a bumper post in anticipation of the February ExCel Baby Show in London. I was really intrigued by the concept and excited to see the execution.
The dribble bib itself is nothing new with hundreds of different brands jumping on the neckerchief bandwagon. They look lovely and are a much classier extension of a babies wardrobe than their traditional terry cloth round-necked cousins. So often however you discover they’re poorly sized with velcro fastenings that irritate babies neck.
In fact, Dexie outgrew many of his dribble bibs after just a few months. The Neckerchew is the only bib that has stood the test of time and still fits him great at 13 months. Although Dexie isn’t particularly dribbly and has, until now, coped really admirably with his teething, this past week he really has struggled with a couple of break-through molars. Along with Bonjela and Calpol, the Neckerchew has been absolutely invaluable for easing some of the discomfort.
Dexie has a tendency to tug at his bibs, pull them off, and hide them among his toys. This is partly because he finds them too tight around his neck and doesn’t enjoy the fact they obstruct his arms when commando crawling across the lounge. The Neckerchew is fantastic for this as it’s very generous around the neck and adjustable with two popper settings. The poppers themselves are high quality plastic and wash well so they don’t become loose over time. It is in fact the only bib Dexter doesn’t sneakily stuff inside his shape-sorter when my back is turned - it really is in a league of its own.
To further prevent irritation, the Neckerchew is also super absorbent with an inner material that retains the majority of the moisture. This helps prevent any dampness getting onto babies chest. This makes it ideal for super dribbly babies and lazy swallowers at juice time.
The Neckerchew is also reversible so it’s effectively two bibs in one. This means it offers parents a choice of which colourway best compliments a childs outfit, but also that you turn it inside out if your child gets one side grubby whilst you’re out and about. Dex has the blue twinkle twinkle design (see below) which looks great over white, with a plain dark blue reverse for busy outfits.
But what really makes these bibs stand out is, of course, the integrated teether. The textured silicon end means that babies always have a teether to hand for when their teeth begin to ache. There’s no more searching down the arms of your sofa (or somewhere equally dirty) to find a something for them to gnaw on, and there is no need for them to toss it away when they’ve had enough. In terms of teething hygiene it’s therefore fabulous. I’ve also caught him sucking on it when he’s tired on car journeys so I know he finds it soothing.
It really is an incredibly well thought-out product - there isn’t one suggestion I’d make to improve it. Priced at between £9.99 and £11.99 (depending on design) it’s great value too.
