The New Parents Guide Blog

One of my favorite things to do when I have the time is look around at new products for babies, children and parents. Every once in a while I come across one of those products that makes me think “Why didn’t I think of that!”.  Well, the My Dirty Birdie line from Progeny is one of those products.

I can remember the countless times when both of my daughters were little that they would get a little spill or stain on their clothing. To me it was no big deal. I would wait until the shirt or onesie gets really dirty before changing it. However, even waiting for multiple stains I would end up changing the onesie or shirt 3 or 4 times a day. If my wife was around, it meant changing after each stain appeared …very tiring and huge amounts of laundry.

The new My Dirty Birdie line from Progeny takes care of those nagging stains that you have to keep looking at throughout the day. My Dirty Birdie is a line of pre-stained onesies, tees and bibs. Bibs and onesies include stains from some of the most popular and common infant jar foods (which all Moms know stain EVERYTHING!) – everything from green beans and peas to peaches and sweet potatoes. And for the toddler, there are stained tees with some of those favorite first foods including PB & J, Mac & Cheese and of course Spaghetti.

With pre-stained clothing, those little “real” stains don’t look that bad
