actress Natascha McElhone joins the ranks....

For once, not a Dutch or Nordic gem, but a clever little bib designed on a farm in Somerset...this bandana-style dribble bib draws moisture away from the skin, preventing chaffing. They are suitable for newborns, and come in a dazzling array of colours. Half-scarf, half-bib, they look pretty sharp, too.

I wrote about Skibz a little while back and recently received one for the bambino to try out.

Now admittedly, I thought the bambino was beyond wearing a bib outside of dinnertimes, so I was skeptical about how useful it would be. How wrong I was!...

Skibz is a cool accessory that looks like a funky scarf but also does the job of an old fashioned bib. The soft and comfortable tightly woven cotton is highly absorbent and comfortable. Choose from 10 fabrics including camouflage, cow print and gingham.
