Bibs are a type of garment that is typically worn by infants and young children. They consist of a large, often absorbent, front panel (or "pad") connected to shoulder straps, which fasten at the back or between the legs. Bibs are designed to catch spills, drool, and other messes made by babies while they eat, play, or sleep. They can also be used as a protective covering for clothing during mealtimes or nappy changes.
