One of the neatest baby products I've had the privilege of reviewing is the Mommy Bibby. This product is a new-mom essential, guaranteed to keep baby spitups far from your outfit while also keeping your baby's skin free from dirt and grime that might be on your own shoulder! What makes this must-have baby item even better is that it is a completely mom-designed, mom-run business.

Lelia, a mother of four, and Ella, a mother of three, are the two entrepreneurial moms from New York behind the aboutBaby. company. Since their products are all "about baby", their company prides itself on making the very best bibby for your baby. Ella originally came up with the idea for the Mommy Bibby when her son Jack was born. She quickly found herself cringing as Jack's adoring fans picked him up and put him over their shoulders. Ella could only imagine the dirt, pet hair, smoke, and daily grime transferred to Jack's newborn skin with each interaction.


The Mommy Bibby was her solution to keeping her son's skin safe but she quickly realized that the Mommy Bibby held so much more potential!

Review: After trying out and reviewing the Mommy Bibby for a few days, these are the top features I noticed:

• The Mommy Bibby is made with sure-stick Velcro which ensures that the bib will never fall off your shoulder when the you or the baby moves--something that other burp cloths cannot handle!
  
• The Mommy Bibby is long enough for you to discretely nurse your infant under cover.
  
• The Mommy Bibby is made with soft, plush organic cotton (you can also purchase a Mommy Bibby made with ultra suede smooth fabric).
• There are three fun trim patterns for the organic cotton bib and three different colors: leopard, blue, yellow, and a pinkie coral (sure to hide stains!) for the ultasuede bib.
  

Verdict: I love the idea that I can support other moms with a purchase of the Mommy Bibby. I cannot wait to use this product with my newborn--I know it will save me from countless outfit changes! It will also be great to not have to worry about a bib slipping off my shoulder just when Caroline decides to spit-up--the velcro is a genius idea! I'm also thrilled that the bib is made with plush organic cotton.

I am not sure how long I'll be able to nurse Caroline under the Mommy Bibby, though, as the length of it seems suitable for infant nursers but not for older babies who tend to fuss more or lift up nursing covers.

Recap: Regardless of its length, the fact remains that the Mommy Bibby is a wonderful invention, perfect for moms of newborns--I'm definitely thinking that these would make excellent gifts for all the pregnant friends I know!

The organic cotton Bibby costs $25 and the suede cloth Bibby costs $35. You can purchase your Mommy Bibby on the aboutBaby. website. You can also find them in select stores on Long Island: Paddy Bunks (Locust Valley), The Locust Valley Chemist (Locust Valley) and Glen Head Pharmacy (Glen Head).
