Abstract
A bib-tray structure for use during the feeding of an infant is fabricated from suitably stiff and tear resistant thin sheet material such as paper cut and folded so as to comprise a bib portion, a tray portion, and an interconnecting transition region having accordian folds adapted to provide adjustability of height of the structure. The bib portion contains neck straps which are adjustably interengagable. The tray portion contains borders which permit facile assembly of a serving surface bounded by retaining walls.
