Quick answer
The removable silicone teether on Dr. Brown's bandana bib is designed to be attached to the bib's loop so your baby can chew on it while the bib catches drool. Simply snap it on before use, and detach it for cleaning.
Why the removable design matters
A permanently attached teether can be hard to clean and may not reach all the spots your baby wants to gnaw. Dr. Brown's removable teether lets you wash it separately and offer it on its own when your baby prefers a direct chew. The bandana bib itself stays dry against your baby's chest, so you're not swapping out a soaked bib every hour.
When to skip the teether
If your baby isn't actively teething yet, the teether may just get in the way. You can leave it off and use the bib as a standard drool catcher. Also, if your baby tends to pull hard on dangling items, remove the teether during supervised play to avoid any choking risk.
How to use the removable teether
- Attach the teether: Snap the silicone teether onto the loop sewn into the bib's corner. Ensure it clicks securely so it doesn't fall off during use. Check the snap before each use; a loose teether can be a choking hazard.
- Place the bib on your baby: Slip the bandana bib over your baby's head and adjust the snap closure so it fits snugly but not too tight. The teether should hang near your baby's mouth. Make sure the bib doesn't bunch up; a flat bib catches drool better.
- Let your baby chew: Allow your baby to gnaw on the silicone teether as needed. The bib will catch any excess drool that escapes. Supervise your baby while using the teether. Remove the bib during naps to prevent any risk of suffocation.
- Clean after each use: Detach the teether and wash it with warm soapy water or place it in the top rack of the dishwasher. Machine wash the bib separately in cold water and tumble dry low. Do not boil the teether; high heat can damage the silicone.
