Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Babies mock those little towels adults use at burping time. As if a little square of cloth is going to stop Baby from marking its caregiver so other babies know that this one is spoken for. Babies are terribly territorial.

Meanwhile, parents, grandparents, older siblings and anyone else who goes through the baby-feeding ritual try their best to remain unmarked. Greg Heard lost several pieces of clothing in the battle to keep his young son fed, then he designed the Snibbie bib.

The bib measures 25 by 21 inches, covering both shoulders (front and back). It stays in place with a Velcro closure. The bib is made of washable woven cotton terry cloth and comes in six colors. At $9.99, the bib pays for itself if it saves even one piece of nice clothing from destruction.

Snibbie bibs are available at such stores as Kmart and CVS Drug Stores, online at www.Snibbie.com or by phone at 866-SNIBBIE.
