Sponsored Post: Introducing Cheekie Charlie

Westchester mom launches adorable and functional onesies with bibs.

December 1, 2012

Mamaroneck mom Carla Palmer despised the big ugly bibs her daughter, Charlie, had to wear 24/7 as a drooling teething baby. Charlie was even less of a fan. So mama took matters into her own hands. As a designer turned stay-at-home mom, Palmer honed her skills (she’s a graduate of FIT) and launched Cheekie Charlie: a collection of onesies with 100% organic interchangeable snap-on bibs. Genius.

The launch product for the brand new line is the “Bibsie”: a snap on bib and onesie set. The Bibsie includes 1 onesie with 3 adorable interchangeable bibs that are integrated into the onesie with 4 hidden snaps (without a bib, it appears to be your standard onesie!). There is no extra fabric to irritate your angel’s neck, and all the bibs are terrycloth-backed to keep babies dry. The USA-made bibs are cowled with fun and trendy prints (think Dwell studio meets Petit Bateau), so fashion meets function perfectly. The Bibsie set sells for a reasonable $38 introductory price and can be purchased at the online shop. [...]
