Queebi Pacibuddy or WubbaNub?

Like every parenting issue, there is no one right or wrong answer. It will depend on what the individual child likes. But, here to mention, have you ever read your pacifier’s welcome instruction? Probably not, I’m guessing.

Actually in every pacifier’s welcome instruction, they told parents not to user longer than 2 months. If you use WubbaNub, it means you need to change WubbaNub every 2 months, since they plushies and pacifier is undetachable. You can rip the seams on your wub and replace the soothie but it won’t be easy.

If you really interested in Queebi, even want to introduce it to your local market, kindly contact us!! We are currently looking for a distributor in Indonesia. Knock us and we will be back to you shortly.

Baby bibs for BLW: Grabease all-over bib, Bumkins sleeved bib, or Tidy-tot bib?

Baby led weaning (BLW) could be so messy and frustrating, but BLW is totally worth the mess! So I choose to raise my baby with BLW method and I know I need to stocking up on a few great BLW bibs, it help me to feel so much happier while doing BLW. No constantly stress about the mess and instead I can enjoy eating with my daughter. I have 3 great bibs, Grabease, Bumkins, and Tidy-tot. I’ll let you know the pros and cons of each bibs.

My daughter always sat on her highchair during mealtime, so in this article, I will focus on the bibs that are designed for highchair user. Check out here for on-the-go bibs.

Contents:

| Why we need bibs when BLW

| Bumkins sleeved bibs pros and cons

| Grabeaase all over bibs pros and cons

| Tidy tot bibs pros and cons

| Conclusion

Why we need bibs when BLW

It is of course to minimize the mess. A good bib can catch food easily, some bibs offer full coverage over clothing including sleeves, others are made from soft muslin or high-tech neoprene and some are more rigid, made with pockets to collect any spills. Not all bibs are equal and it is important to look for fabrics that are comfortable, protective, durable and washable, along with a design suited to your child’s stage and that is easy to fasten.

I always look for a durable, easy to wash and the perfect size for protecting baby’s clothes but not getting in the way of self-feeding. I also love bibs with a handy pocket to catch falling food. With a fresh bib for each meal, I can recycle food that’s fallen into the pocket back on to baby’s plate or bowl, also helping to minimize food waste.

But if you are one of those moms whose always let your child naked, then you might not need the bibs so much, haha.

Bumkins sleeved bibs pros and cons

The good:

• Lightweight but durable long-sleeved bibs featuring a catcher pocket.

• Bumkins sleeved bibs protect almost every inch of my daughter’s clothes from spills

• They machine wash

• Free from BPA, PVC, phthalates and lead

• I love the tie back, not only it gives plenty of room to grow, my daughter keep pulling off the bibs that have velcro

• Wrists have little cuffs so nothing can get up the sleeves

The not so good:

• One small criticism from me was that the bibs could get stained with time

• If I went to a restaurant without air conditioner, my daughter will be pretty cranky due to the long sleeves and she feel hot.. I recommend it for at-home-usage

Where to buy Bumkins sleeved bibs.

Grabease all-over bibs pros and cons

The good:

• Large size covers my daughter and it perfectly pairs with my high chair

• Lightweight - roll up the bib for easy storage or to bring it on-the-go!

• Washable - Because who has time to hand wash? Both machine and hand wash, remember to hang dry completely before storing

• Safe! It BPA-free, PVC-free, vinyl-free, phthalate-free and lead-free

• 100% polyester with TPU coating for waterproofing - it really keeps my baby dry from drool and spills

• I am impressed with Grabease all over bibs waterproof effectiveness

• I love its colors, especially the blush one!

• Grabease all-over bib has a short sleeves, but this what makes me even love it more, I live in Asia where the weather is quite hot here, my daughter couldn’t stand the heat if she wears a long sleeves bib

• You can even use it as cover while making your own baby’s hairstyle

Read also: Best baby self feeding spoon and fork set

The not so good:

• You need to have either booster chair or high chair to use it, some restaurant don’t have neither of them, so need to use more on-the-go bibs

• I am not a big fan of their stretchy neck and arm holes, my daughter doesn’t really enjoy it

• The price is very high comparing with other bibs’ brand

Where to buy Grabease bibs.

Tidy tot bibs pros and cons

I let my daughter use the iconic bib and tray kit

The good:

• The tray can be used for weaning and messy play, keeps food and toys off the floor

• Is hygienically clean – provides an antibacterial, food-safe, BPA and Phthalate free surface for your baby to eat from, wherever you are

• The tray is easy to assemble, folds away for easy storage

• Comes with a storage bag

The not so good:

• I rarely use Tidy tots iconic bibs, in my point of view this bibs is not that convenient, it contains bibs and the tray, which I need to clean 2 separate items.

• It is hard to find a big space to dry out the tray, since it is pretty big.

• My daughter feels left out when she use Tidy tot, because the tray is so big, although she usually sit in her highchair, but Tidy tot’s tray is so big, feels distance, haha, what a dramatic daughter.

• She lover drawing, but the tray is not steady enough for drawing purpose.

Where to buy Tidy Tot bib and tray.

Conclusion

Over all, if for home use, I like Grabease better than Bumkins. The Grabease bibs can protect my daughter from the mess better and catch the food better. Maybe some of you will concern about the Grabease bibs short sleeves, but this is the feature I like about. I am living in Asia, most of the time is hot here, I’ll let my daughter wear sleeveless clothes, so the short sleeve is not a problem for me. What I like most about Bumkins is the tie back feature. But both of them is not really for on-the-go, you will need to prepare one more bibs meal time outside home. Check out here for on-the-go bibs.

Matchstick Monkey, solution for baby's teething pain

Matchstick Monkey launched in December 2016, I found it is the best solution for baby’s teething pain. Matchstick Monkey’s founder, Katie Windridge, is mommy to Minnie, Coco and Bailey. At that moment, Minnie was having a bad teething pain, she already had 3 teeth even before three months old. Katie could not find anything to massage Minnie’s sore gums without getting bitten. Minnie had always obsessed with monkeys, thus Katie think if there is a thing that could reduce Minnie’s teething pain and it is a monkey, Minnie must be really happy!! This is when the Matchstick Monkey was born.

And we understand that making decisions on the best products to buy can be difficult when there’s so much choices. Yes, teething products are designed to do the same thing, they all come with slightly different features which can be incredibly confusing for parents! Thus I will proudly tell you why I love Matchstick Monkey so much.
