The Baby Bib Story

The Start

It all started when my son was born. After two reasonably neat sisters, (who each had their own specialties) he decided it was was time to throw mom a new monkey wrench. So he started out a champion spitter and graduated to become an Olympic baby drool machine. The clothes, laundry and bibs began to pile up and soon I was drowning in the work (all those changes!), the weight (all those bibs and clothes to carry!), and the worry (he was always wet in chilly weather.)

The Search

I bought and tried every baby bib in the market. I scoured the specialty baby stores, the department stores, the internet. Each bib had problems. Some soaked through. Other bibs flipped around. Most used velcro, so he just yanked them off. And every bib - no matter how original the fabric - ruined the outfit.

So I started asking around - moms, grandmoms, pre-school teachers and baby sitters. What did they all say? “oh, yes, the droolers are the worst!” But there was no solution.

The Solution

Desperation drove me. I needed something that would stop the madness - OK, hassle - of all those changes and all that laundry. I started to get an idea of what might do it. No ordinary bib, but a charming, waterproof vest. Something that would stay put, stay dry and be part of the outfit instead of just covering it. Something he could wear without changing all day. And so, Baby Chaleco was born. An evolution of the baby bib that turns ordinary baby clothes into extraordinary, worry-free outfits.

Does Baby Chaleco work for other uses too? Absolutely. They are an exceptionally stylish and convenient way to keep all kinds of baby messes at bay. Customers especially love them for the holidays, special occasions, even dinner out.

But if you have a drooler, and have that huge pile of baby drool bibs sitting in your laundry bin, this product was made with you and your baby in mind.

I’ll be blogging about a lot of topics related to what’s going on at Baby Chaleco in the future, but baby drool is where it all started.
