Bibs come in different sizes, types, and shapes. And as they are used around a baby’s neck it’s important you select the right size for your baby. A bib that is too small poses a safety risk. While one that is too big can be ineffective. In this article, we provide the various measurements and sizing for the bibs we offer.
When checking the size of a bib you should be able to put your finger comfortably between the bib and your baby’s neck.
Below we outline the measurements of the My Little Love Heart range of bibs. Each of these has two snap fasteners. This is so they can increase in size as the baby grows. Therefore, there will be two sets of measurements for each bib. This will be based on both small and large adjustments.

Newborn Bibs
The newborn baby bib is the smallest in our range. And it’s designed for newborns. The fasteners are placed on the side of the neck.
