About Us
It All Started With a Drop of Soy Sauce...
I’ll never forget the first time I put my daughter, Isabel, in the baby carrier while eating dinner our first week home from the hospital. We ordered sushi (yum!), and as I was eating, a massive drop of soy sauce landed right on top of her head.
I laughed and gently wiped it away, but little did I know, I’d soon find myself balancing paper napkins on her head every time I ate: at home, at restaurants, and on walks with an ice cream cone in hand!
From a Napkin Sketch to Real Product
I knew the idea was solid, but could I actually bring it to life? I decided to put that to the test.
Over the last 2.5 years, I’ve learned an immense amount—navigating everything from initial product design to manufacturing and fulfillment. Seeing an idea go from a random thought to a physical product has been so incredibly rewarding.
What is the Noggin Napkin?
Noggin Napkin is the world’s first adult-worn coverage bib designed specifically for baby-wearing parents. It loops comfortably around the parent's neck, lays lightly over the baby’s head, and clips securely to your carrier to catch those inevitable crumbs, drips, and spills.
Our Production Shipment Arrived! 🎉
Building this brand from an initial napkin sketch to custom factory production and now launching an e-commerce store has been an awesome journey.
I’d love for you to check out the site, share it with any new or soon-to-be parents in your life, or let me know what you think!
To my family, friends, and colleagues who have listened to my spiel countless times, offered feedback, and sent words of encouragement: a huge thank you! Your support truly helped me make Noggin Napkin a reality.
Our Mission
We build adult-worn bibs designed for the baby-wearing community. Our goal is simple: to catch the mess before it catches your baby's noggin.
By designing an adult neck loop that transitions into a lightweight baby shield, we keep food away from your little one's head while protecting your clothes and your expensive carrier from stains at the exact same time.
We believe that keeping your baby close shouldn't mean sacrificing your meals, your clothes, or your gear. We’re here to handle the drips so you can enjoy the closeness.
Welcome to the family, and happy (mess-free) baby-wearing!
