There’s a reason that Scandinavian baby brands continue to be amongst the most searched for on platforms like Pinterest and Instagram. Scandi design endures not only for its minimalist aesthetic, but also for its eco-friendly and durable credentials. 

One of our favourite Scandi baby brands is BIBS. Best known for their stylish and innovative  dummies, the Danish brand offers a wide range of new mum essentials – from cosy bedding, to baby  bottles, and toys.  

Absolutely Mama Editor Carly Glendinning says: “I’ve been a fan of BIBS since my daughter was tiny.  She used the brand’s dummies for comfort at night time until she turned three. We quickly fell in  love with the rest of the collection – from the soft colour palette, to the clever designs. It’s one of my  go-to brands for my daughter, and also for new baby gifting.” 

If you’re currently expecting, or have just welcomed a new arrival (congrats mama!), here’s what you should look out for. 

Soothing and comforting 

Dummies are soothing and comforting for babies because they satisfy their natural sucking reflex  and provide a sense of security.  

Choosing the right shape dummy is really important for your baby’s comfort. Consider quality and  safety, and try out different shapes and materials to see which one your baby likes best. BIBS is the  only brand offering all three shapes (round, anatomical, and symmetrical). Lastly, consider the shield  design and aesthetic. 

BIBS offers a wide range of stylish, eco-friendly, and innovatively designed dummies. The brand’s  dummy nipples are available in two materials: natural rubber latex and silicone. Latex offers a skin like softness and a naturally comfortable fit; and silicone is also extremely soft and very durable. 

The brand’s useful dummy guide can help to differentiate and explain the different shapes and  materials. However, it is essentially the baby who will choose the dummy they like best! 

Katharina Grüterich is a Sleep Consultant & Family Counselor. She comments: “I find it interesting that there are now studies showing that the pacifier as a sleep aid can have a protective effect against SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Another benefit could be that the pacifier provides comfort and security. However, it’s important to note that it is a transitional object, meaning it needs to be weaned off eventually—but it can help with falling asleep and staying asleep.”

Soother style 

If you are looking for an extra dose of style, BIBS has collaborated with Liberty on a beautiful  collection featuring the iconic British brand’s prints. The dummies are really stylish, with pleasing colour choices and lots of gender-neutral options.  

We also really love the new colour-pop ‘Studio’ collection, which features graphic Breton stripes and  pretty floral prints. Both collections are perfect for mixing and matching, and can be adapted to any  outfit, mood, or season!  

Both the Liberty and Studio collections also feature corresponding accessories including dummy  boxes and clips. The dummy boxes can be looped to your stroller, changing bag, or your handbag, so  you’ve always got a dummy easily to-hand when you’re out and about. There’s nothing more  annoying than losing dummies (especially ones as stylish as BIBS!), so the brand’s dummy clips are  also a must-have. Also worth checking out is the brand’s cute bandana bibs, which are perfect when  your little one is going through a dribbly phase! 

Making feeding easier 

Getting your little one to take a bottle can be a challenge. Babies can be particular about teat shape,  material, and design, so finding the right bottle can make all the difference. 

BIBS baby bottles are designed with both parent and baby in mind. If your baby already uses a BIBS  pacifier, it’s a no-brainer to offer them a BIBS bottle too as the teat is the same as the brand’s  popular Colour pacifier. Bottle teats mimic the natural shape and feel of the breast, making it easier  to transition between breast and bottle. And the soft, natural rubber latex is gentle on little mouths,  and designed to prevent nipple confusion. 

The wide-neck design also makes BIBS bottles easy to clean, while the anti-colic valve helps reduce  air intake during feeding, ensuring a more comfortable experience for your little one. Made from  borosilicate glass, they are non-toxic, as well as durable, and can be recycled and reused endless  times. And with their simple, timeless design, BIBS bottles are not only practical – but stylish enough  to be seen on any kitchen counter. 

Weaning and mealtime must-haves 

Weaning is an exciting (but messy!) new stage for babies, so choosing mealtime essentials that are  functional is a must. 

BIBS has thought of everything when it comes to their mealtime range. The collection checks all the boxes when it comes to beautiful design – think a clean, minimal aesthetic and a soft colour palette  that will work well in any interior. 

We love the functional details too – the Dinner Bib has been created with a child’s anatomy in mind  for a comfortable fit, and has a deep collection pocket for inevitable spills. The Dinner Plate Set comes with a lid, so that kids can snack on-the-go. And the cutlery set has non-slip, ergonomic handles for little hands. All materials used are food-grade and non-toxic for little ones. 

Cosy sleep-time essentials 

Eco-friendly materials are really important when it comes to baby bedding. Not only better for the  environment, they are gentler on little ones’ delicate skin – reducing the risk of allergies. Natural  fibres like organic cotton and wool are also highly breathable, helping to regulate baby’s body  temperature and minimising the risk of overheating during sleep. 

BIBS produce all of their products at their factory in Hillerød, Denmark. This allows the brand to have  total control of the materials, testing, and functionality. Their super-soft and cosy baby bedding,  muslins, and blankets are made with OEKO-TEX-certified cotton. 

We also really love the innovative design details. Blankets and muslins are oversized so you can use  them at bedtime, or as a playmat for tummy time. The quilted blankets and cuddle cloths have a  clever little zipped pocket to stash a pacifier. BIBS‘ versatile designs are great as your little one  moves past the newborn phase, as you’ll be able to use them well into toddlerhood. 

With Danish brand BIBS, every aspect of your baby’s world can be stylish, functional, and eco friendly – from soothing with their renowned pacifiers to playtime, mealtimes, and beyond.
