Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Roll-Up Bib
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
This bib combines soft fabric with easy-to-clean silicone that will take your baby from bottle to their first solids.
The wide silicone pocket catches spit-up and crumbs while the quick-drying, soft fabric is comfortable to wear. It rolls up for dining out or traveling and washes easily by hand or in your machine. It’s available in a two-pack in eight color combinations, and I’d buy at least two sets so there’s always one at the ready.
Oxo’s Tot Roll-Up Bib is under $20 for a pair at Amazon.

For those of you who went from working to SAHM, how did you decide to take the leap? I have a preK kid with some support needs and just found out I’m expecting #2. My job just feels less and less like a priority, and it will likely be much worse once the baby arrives. I’m a senior attorney at a government agency and my (maybe naive) hope is that I could jump back in when I’m ready. Any advice? Thanks!
A vent out to the void. Maybe I’m envious.
I have a couple of friends who have unicorn jobs that pay their market value (let’s say $150-200K in MCOL cities) but just don’t require the regular time commitment. Like these friends can work a few hours a day, and then spend the rest of their time working out, reading, doing all the various house management tasks to keep things running (e.g. grocery shopping, meal prep, etc.), and then have a flexible schedule with kids, where it’s simpler for them to get to appointments/activities, take and plan more long weekend/school holiday trips, etc. They also have a lot more time for hobbies and volunteering.
They aren’t “leaned out” because professionally/on paper everything looks great and they haven’t taken any pay cuts. When I was looking for jobs, I definitely was open to this situation, but didn’t find this unicorn situation. My household could afford for me to take a pay cut or work PT, but for many Reasons it’s not the right decision for me or the family unit.
Anyway, there’s no right/wrong here, and fundamentally I like my job and want/need to work, but just want to vent.
Last night my seven year old asked me how your kidneys work. We talked about it and googled some pictures, but I’d love to have a book of pictures he can peruse. Any recommendations? I didn’t take anatomy and physiology, but I was thinking something along those lines. I’d really like actual diagrams rather than a simplified explainer for little kids.
Any suggestions for what to bring to a “homemade gifts only” party? The kids are turning 7, so they’re old enough to not be easily impressed but young enough that they can’t really make much besides a picture without adult help.
Also can I be a grinch about this for a minute? I think it’s rude to dictate what type of gifts people give you. If you absolutely can’t stand plastic toys, say “no gifts” and be done with it
My 9 year old has never wanted much of a birthday party – the last few years we just took a friend or two with us to do an activity. This year he does and we followed the school’s suggestion and invited the whole class (16 people) plus a couple other friends. We rented the community center basketball court per kid’s request and … now we realized we may need Activities- an hour of truly open gym may not be enough structure! Whoops! Kid is basketball obsessed and many of his friends are too, but there are also classmates coming who are not. Any favorite PE type games? Apparently “base-quet ball” is a game they enjoy, we could do a free throw contest, but a couple other suggestions would be helpful!!
Have any of you had a piece of jewelry made using your breastmilk? How has it held up over time and would you recommend the company?
(If you’d asked me, pre-kids, if this was something I’d consider, I might have laughed. It would have been a hard “Good for you, not for me”. But recently weaned our 2nd and last baby, and I have a small amount of milk saved from both children, and I like the idea of preserving it forever).
I’m a new mom and just got a targeted ad for Paume hand sanitizer on Insta. It sounds incredible, but I can’t justify the price (my husband was horrified lol). Wondering if a) anyone has tried Paume and thinks it’s worth it, or b) if anyone has a hand sanitizer rec that is somewhat moisturizing? Or at least doesn’t totally dry out the skin.
we had these bibs. i prefer the target all silicone version
