Questions about burp cloths
Answers come from each maker's published specs. Safety and health questions link to the agency or medical source.
Can babies wear bibs to sleep?
Safe sleep: see the AAP's guide to safe sleep and NICHD Safe to Sleep. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
What does waterproof mean on a bib?
We mark a bib waterproof only when the maker says waterproof or water-resistant. Those words aren't tested to one standard, so check the maker's wording on each page.
