Bibs are an essential baby accessory that often cause more frustration than is necessary. Whether it’s itchy velcro fastenings, troublesome stains, or just that you never seem to be able to find a clean one when you need it - you’ll find yourself moaning about them at least 5 times a day during the early stages of parenthood.

The trick is to find a brand that fit well, are comfortable for baby and available in tons of different colours to suit every dinky outfit and sleepsuit you bought. Once you find a bib that does the trick, buy tons of them. I’m talking 15-20. You’ll be amazed how many you’ll end up washing in a week, and how quickly they mysteriously disappear down the sides of your sofa or into the depths of your changebag.

This is the beauty of Funky Giraffe Bibs. The more you buy, the more you save. For example, if you consider that a bib is priced at £4 individually, if you buy 10 the price comes down to just £2 per bib - that’s a HUGE 50% saving! Better still, you get free UK delivery if you spend £7. 10 bibs will therefore set you back just £20 delivered. That’s the cheapest deal I’ve come across online. You’re literally spoilt for choice too with hundreds of designs and colourways (including seasonal limited editions).

Dexter did have a few bandana bibs when he was younger (Funky Giraffe Bibs as it happens), but he wasn’t a particularly dribbly baby and was out of cloth bibs and into plastic ones as soon as we started weaning him. Heidi, on the other hand started teething at 6 weeks and is constantly sporting a chin full of baby drool. She’s also developed an annoying habit of falling asleep mid-bottle so a pool of milk will collect in the creases of her neck saturating her clothes.

Funky Giraffe bibs are therefore great for my little madam. They’re adjustable with cleverly designed popper fastenings that allow you to achieve a really snug fit under the chin to catch all the drool. Made from 100% cotton, they are also supremely soft and wash like a dream (even at high temperatures). A fleecy lining also provides great wetness protection so baby’s skin and clothes stay dry. They really are fabulous quality.

I’d wholeheartedly recommend Funky Giraffe Bibs and it seems I’m not alone as they have some seriously impressive feedback collected from thousands of customers. If you’d like to buy some yourself and check out the other things they sell (including adorable socks and hats) then head to the new look website at funkygiraffebibs.co.uk or say hello on Twitter and Facebook.
