Why bib fabric matters

During weaning, babies and young children are learning about food using all of their senses - not just taste, but touch, sound and movement too. For some children, particularly those sensitive to sensory overwhelm, the feel of fabric against their skin or the way a bib moves can influence how comfortable and settled they feel at the table.

That’s why bib fabric is an important thing to consider. Different fabrics offer different sensory experiences, and the right choice is the one that feels best for your child and fits your family’s routine.

Thoughtful fabric choices for calmer mealtimes

At Tidy Tot, our Coverall Bibs for Kits and Cover & Catch Bibs are available in two carefully selected bib fabrics, each designed to support calm, confident food exploration.

Both are lightweight, comfortable and designed to keep mess contained, helping reduce unnecessary distractions during mealtimes.

Whether you prefer a softer feel or smooth, wipe-clean performance, our fabrics are chosen to support sensory-led weaning, reduce disruption and create a more predictable, comfortable eating environment - so your baby can focus on exploring food, and you can enjoy calmer mealtimes.
