Does your baby drool a lot and want to chew on everything? Then bibs with teethers are a handy solution: a soft bandana bib that catches the drool, with a teether attached that is always within reach. At Tiny Giggles you will find the Neckerchew bandana bibs from Cheeky Chompers, in cheerful prints and suitable from 2 months. Below you can read how they work, which designs there are and what to keep in mind for safe use.
How does a Neckerchew work?
The Neckerchew is a bandana bib with an attached teether. The bib catches the drool, and the teether is fixed to the corner, so your baby can always reach it. Because the bib sits around the neck, the teether does not fall on the floor and you don't have to keep picking it up or rinsing it. Two products in one: handy at home and on the go.
About Cheeky Chompers
Cheeky Chompers is a British brand that focuses on handy products for teething babies. The Neckerchew is their best-known invention: an award-winning chewable bib that catches drool and offers a teether at the same time. The brand is known for cheerful, colourful prints and sometimes works with other designers, as with the Winter Bloom print by Joules.
The features at a glance
- Super absorbent: three layers of fabric catch the drool, keeping clothes and skin dry.
- Reversible: each side has a different colour, so you have two looks in one.
- Adjustable: the neckband closes with poppers and has two positions, so the bib grows with your baby.
- Size: about 47 x 18 cm (the muslin version about 44.5 x 17 cm).
- Material: soft 100% cotton, or 100% organic muslin with an absorbent inner layer.

Drooling and teething
Many babies start drooling more at around 3 to 4 months. That is part of development: the salivary glands become more active, and your baby puts everything in their mouth to explore the world. The first tooth often comes through at around 6 months, although this varies a lot from child to child. Chewing on something firm can feel nice on the gums. A bib with a teether combines both needs: staying dry and having a good chew. More teething toys are under teethers and teething toys.
Bib with teether or a separate teether?
A separate teether is nice to hold, but also easily falls on the floor, especially when you are out and about. A bib with a teether always stays with your baby and catches drool at the same time. Many parents use both: a separate teether or teething toy to play with, and the bib with teether for busy moments, such as shopping or a visit to grandma and grandpa. That way your baby always has something to chew on.
Handy on the go
In the pram, the baby carrier or on your lap on the train: a bib with a teether takes up little space and is always within reach. Put a spare bib in the changing bag for when the first one gets wet. If your baby also uses a dummy, a pacifier clip is handy, so the dummy doesn't fall on the floor either. Like a bib, only use a pacifier clip while your baby is awake.
Using it safely
- Only while your baby is awake: take the bib off when your baby goes to sleep, also for a nap in the pram or car seat.
- Under supervision: use the bib when you are nearby.
- Good fit: adjust the neckband so the bib is neither too tight nor too loose.
- Check regularly: make sure the teether, fabric and poppers are still intact, and replace the bib if it is damaged.
- Keep it clean: wash the bib regularly, especially if your baby chews on it a lot.
Washing and care
The Neckerchew bibs can go in the washing machine. Wash them with similar colours and close the poppers before washing, so they don't catch on other clothes. Let the bibs dry well afterwards. If you have several bibs, there is always a clean one ready while another is in the wash. Always check the label for the exact washing instructions.
How many bibs do you need?
A baby who drools a lot can easily need several bibs a day. A supply of three to five is therefore handy: a few in the cupboard, one in the changing bag and one in the wash. Combine bibs with teethers with regular drool bibs, so you always have something to hand. All bandana bibs are under bandana bibs and drool and bandana bibs.
More bibs
For mealtimes there are larger bibs that catch more, such as under eating and mess bibs and long sleeve bibs. All bibs are together under bibs, or choose by who they're for under bibs for girls and bibs for boys.
A handy baby gift
A bib with a teether is a practical and fun baby gift, or a present for a baby of a few months. Parents use it every day, especially when the first teeth are on their way.
