Best Bibs & Feeding Accessories UK
Cups and bibs here solve two different problems. On cups, the split is valve versus no valve: Vital Baby's Easy Sipper (£10.99 for 2) uses a soft silicone spout with an anti-spill valve as a gentle bridge from bottle to cup, while Doidy's slanted open cup (£6.99) and Munchkin's Miracle 360 (£8) both skip the valve entirely to encourage proper cup-drinking sooner — the Doidy a simple, one-piece design with two handles and no spout at all, the Miracle 360 spill-proof from any angle around its rim, though it takes some babies a few days to learn the technique.
On bibs, the real difference is pocket depth and material. Bumkins' silicone bib (£12.99) and Bibetta's UltraBib (£9) both have a proper crumb-catcher pocket built for baby-led weaning mess — the Bumkins a stiffer, deeper one-piece silicone design that wipes or rinses clean in seconds, the Bibetta a softer wipeable fabric that's gentler against the neck. Tommee Tippee's Milk Feeding Bibs (£5.49 for 2, the cheapest here) have a shallower roll-up pocket, better suited to milk dribbles and early spoon-feeding than serious self-feeding mess.

The verdict
For introducing a cup, Doidy's open cup is the well-loved, no-frills choice for teaching proper drinking from early on, and Munchkin's Miracle 360 is worth it if spill-proofing matters more during the learning phase. Vital Baby's Easy Sipper is the gentler bridge if you'd rather ease in with a valve first. For bibs, Bumkins' silicone bib is the strongest choice once your baby is properly self-feeding and making a mess, Bibetta's UltraBib a softer alternative, and Tommee Tippee's simple bibs are fine for the earlier, milkier stage before serious solids mess begins.
