Abstract: The bib has a neck portion with a neck hole that is large enough to fit comfortably around the wearer's neck. The neck hole has an opening that can either be pulled over the wearer's head by means of an elastic material, or divided into an exposed strip of fabric and a coextensive underlaying strip of fabric. These strips of fabric are releasably fastened together. An expanse of protective material extending from the transverse end of the neck portion prevents food and drink from staining or soiling the wearer's clothing during the course of hand feeding. Beneath the expanse of protective material is a first layer of absorbent material. This first layer overlays a lower, second layer of absorbent material. The first and second absorbent layers offer a face wipe to the user for removing food from the wearer's face.
