Good, better, best: 3 of the best baby bibs you can get today

By

When Baby starts to teethe, Baby begins to drool. Incessantly. Like a bulldog.

In a matter of minutes, your little one may soak their clothes, their skin, and anyone who dares approach that adorably sloppy mouth. Of course, while you could keep patting, drying, and wiping that sweet and shiny face (and neck and body!), you could also invest in some quality drool bibs. They will keep your sweetheart’s clothes drool-free — and save you the trouble of multiple outfit changes. Ready to get one (or two) for your leaky-mouthed love bug? Skip the baby store; we know exactly what you need. Here are three of our favorite options.

Baby swimming in a pool

Once the weather gets warmer, many families are eager to hit the pool for some relief from the heat, but those with young infants at home may find themselves wondering, "When can babies go in the pool?" Whether it's signing up for local swimming classes to teach your little one basic water safety or for recreation and relaxation on a hot summer day, taking your baby in the pool can be a lot of fun.

There are, however, some basic guidelines experts recommend about how old your baby should be before they join the rest of the family. Before you go for a dip this summer, here's what you need to know about when babies can go in the pool.

When do babies sit up? What you need to know
Here's when you need to start baby-proofing the house

So many firsts will happen in the first year of your baby's life. Some will be completely unpredictable, like the first word. But others you could kind of prep baby for, like the first time they sit up. When do babies sit up for the first time? When should your baby sit up without falling over or needing a few pillow assistants? Here's when your tenacious tot will conquer gravity to stay upright.
What age your baby will sit up

The first time your baby sits up without any support is a milestone parents can't wait for. It also means you don't have to keep propping your baby up with pillows and hoping they don't fall over the second you walk away. The earliest you could see your baby sitting up without support is around 4 months old, with a more accurate range of most babies sitting up between 7 and 9 months old.
Because baby sat up once, doesn't mean they're a pro
We aren't saying that by 7 months, your bundle will sit all day long and never topple over. But you will see your baby get stronger and more confident and be able to sit for longer periods of time. You'll still see a bit of bobbing around, a leaning tower of baby, and possible faceplants here and there. By 9 months old, they should be able to sit up the majority of the time without needing you to adjust them.
Why it matters that baby can sit up
A few things happen once baby learns to sit up. One is the promotion to eating solid foods, which your little one shouldn't eat until they can support their body. Once your babe sits propped up and can stay mostly centered, solid foods can enter the chat, and that's huge for both baby and parents. When your child sits up properly without you holding them, mealtimes become easier.

We bribe. We beg. We will set that baby up for those first steps any way we can. But your little one will not start walking before they're ready. When is that? When do babies start walking? It's the next major milestone after crawling, and parents cannot wait to capture the moment their baby discovers they have two feet that will take them anywhere. If you have a baby who's about to become a walker, this is what you should expect before the first step is attempted.
Look for clues to tell when your baby will start walking

First things first — there are markers to watch out for to know your baby is about to walk. If you keep an eye on that little human of yours, they give hints as to when they're ready to start walking. By then, you can obsessively watch them so you don't miss a step.
Your baby will hit these milestones when it's almost time to walk
