All over bibs…

Hiya!
I have a very dainty 8 month old that has only just gone into 3-6 month clothes. She absolutely LOVES her food and loves it even more when she can feed herself. We currently do a mixture of purées and BLW (don’t come for me, it’s what works for us), up until now I have spoon fed the puree for her but now she’s having them a bit lumpier and they’re more manageable she has been feeding herself, using a spoon or her hands but ultimately just making a mess and ruining so many clothes where the food goes under the collar or up her sleeves as they fall down even after being rolled up. I do sometimes leave her in just a nappy under her bib but then that usually requires a bath so isn’t really an ideal solution either.
So my question is, where can I get all over bibs that would fit small enough for her? Or is there another alternative I just haven’t thought of yet?
Thanks!!

Bibado bibs have poppers on the sleeves so you can make them shorter, and I think two settings on the neck.

My 1 year old is small for his age. I bought bibado bibs which he’s used from around 8 months and they seem to be ok size wise. Like PP said, you can use the popper to make sleeves shorter.

In my experience, food will go up the sleeves and under the collar no matter how well it fits.

Hi all,
good to know about the Bibado bibs, I had a quick look and they are on sale on Amazon so have a couple of them on the way - fingers crossed they’ll save some of her clothes!
thanks!

IKEA - if you have one locally.

I used two bibs - a Bibado and a silicone bib on top which was tighter on the neck.

These are really good as well, we use them for painting with the children now my son is a toddler but was great as an all over bib when he was a baby!

The IKEA ones are smaller than bibadoo.
