Why Dotty?
Dotty is more than an ordinary teether. She's an award-winning Multisensory Teether like no other, offering vital mouth muscle support before and during weaning. She's like a mouth muscle gym for babies! Naturally, she provides relief for sore gums and erupting teeth, too, but her magical power is in helping curious little mouths unlock the secrets to biting and chewing.
Designed with early years specialists to support the transition to starting solids, Dotty also plays a crucial role in minimising the risk of fussy eating. Picky eating is most often associated with poor mouth muscle strength and lack of exposure to varied textures. Dotty’s five multisensory features provide essential support and exercise to strengthen and coordinate the jaw, lip, cheek and tongue muscles and prepare little mouths for feeding success.
Experts recommend using teethers before and during weaning. They can help to shift the gag reflex back (3-6 months), support mature oral development, and can prevent picky eating from the get-go.
“One of the best ways to prepare for solids is with teethers, and Bibado’s award-winning Dotty the Dinosaur provides comprehensive support with five key features that stimulate and strengthen all the essential muscles needed for successful self-feeding,” says Lucy Upton, Paediatric Dietitian and Feeding Therapist.

The new Bibado Coverall Weaning Bib is made from Polyester with a PU coating. It is entirely free from BPA, Phthalates and PVC and has been tested to the highest international safety standards.
Measuring from the central collar to the bottom, it is 50cms long.
The cuffs are generously sized to fit little ones aged 6-36months.
Our bibs are stain-resistant as opposed to stain-proof and some staining may occur as they act as a barrier between the child and the food, keeping your little one spotlessly clean underneath. This can be the case with rich colour foods such as tomato sauce or curry. We do have some top tips to remove stubborn stains:
1) Rub the affected area with neat dish soap
2) Pop into the machine at a one off 60 degree wash with stain remover and detergent
3) Then if possible hang out in the sunshine to dry.
We do find that this will do the trick 9/10 times.
