The Best Baby Bibs for Boys — Our Customers' Favourites
Katie & Millie Neutral, Poppy Sky Blue and Theo Blue are the three prints our customers come back for, again and again, when they're buying for a baby boy. All three are made on our signature scalloped edge, in genuine Liberty of London fabric — it isn't the shape that makes them boy favourites, it's the colourway and the print itself. Here's what makes each one work so well, and where to look if you'd rather have a square or bandana shape instead.
Katie & Millie Neutral
The Katie & Millie Neutral is the one we'd reach for first if we only had to pick one. It's Liberty's Katie & Millie print in warm, earthy browns rather than the softer pastels the same print comes in elsewhere — a small floral that reads as genuinely gender-neutral rather than defaulting to blue, which is exactly why so many parents of boys choose it. It sits comfortably with cream, khaki and denim, so it doesn't fight with the rest of a newborn's wardrobe the way a bolder print sometimes can.
Poppy Sky Blue
The Poppy Sky Blue is a blue-on-blue poppy and daisy print — soft and tonal rather than the classic pink, green and blue Liberty ditsy most people picture. It's a print that started life as a florals-lover's pick and has become one of our most popular choices among parents of boys specifically, because the blue-on-blue colourway lets a floral feel appropriate without needing to be muted down or paired back. It's proof that a floral print doesn't have to skip a boy's wardrobe — it just has to be the right blue.
Theo Blue
The Theo Blue takes the Theo print — animals and foliage on a Liberty ground — into a deeper, more classic blue. Of the three, it's the one that reads most immediately as "for a boy" at a glance, and it's a strong pick for anyone buying a first bib without knowing the rest of the nursery's palette. It layers easily with the other two if you're building a small starter set rather than buying just one.
Prefer a square or bandana shape?
Our scalloped edge is the signature shape and where these three prints currently live, but square and bandana bibs do come through the workroom too, and — as we've said elsewhere — they're especially popular with parents of baby boys. The honest reason they sell out quickly isn't hype: we make everything in small batches, so a square or bandana run in a boy-friendly print is often a handful of pieces, not a restocked line. If you want one, the best approach is to check the For Boys collection regularly rather than waiting for an announcement — by the time a piece is back in stock publicly, it's often close to gone again. Worth noting too: the popularity of Katie & Millie Neutral, Poppy Sky Blue and Theo Blue shows the shape isn't really the deciding factor for most parents — it's the print and colourway doing the work, on a scalloped bib or otherwise.
A couple of questions we get asked about these three
Are Katie & Millie Neutral, Poppy Sky Blue and Theo Blue only available as scalloped bibs?
Currently, yes — all three are made on our signature scalloped edge. They're boy favourites because of the print and colourway, not because the shape has changed, so if you love one of these but want a square or bandana style, it's worth keeping an eye on the For Boys collection for other prints in that shape.
Can I have one of these personalised?
Yes — Katie & Millie Neutral, Poppy Sky Blue and Theo Blue can all be personalised the same way as any of our bibs, with a name, initials or short phrase embroidered on, in a thread colour matched to the print.
