A bib that can be washed at 80°C makes a real difference!

During a hospital stay, hanging laundry out to dry is often not possible, so you may rely on the hospital’s tumble dryer.

Medical care needs or a lot of saliva can mean wearing bibs throughout the day and washing them frequently.

A cute apron that resists stains and creasing and stands up to frequent washing can be especially useful. Bib and mealtime-apron shop Knot

recommends the Care Designs apron, washable at 80°C.

A junior mealtime apron from British brand Care Designs, suitable from around age three.

A good next size when a baby bib becomes too tight.

Made from the brand’s PRO80™ fabric, it can be washed at 80°C, a high temperature used to kill bacteria, and tumble dried.

A professional-grade Care Designs product suitable for facilities and hospitals.

PRO80™ is thin and lightweight yet durable, with resistance to staining and creasing.

Wider shoulders provide generous front coverage, while a short back makes it easier to put on and take off.

Fold the bottom forwards to form a pocket, or backwards to use it flat.

Care Designs is part of the same group as baby bib brand Bibetta.
