I actually don't know anybody that would use them as actual diapers...haha.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-279757 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 13:26:57 +0000 banana 279757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought them for my son but never really ended up using them much for some reason. They're really nice and absorbent though. We ended up using a bunch of organic cotton handkerchiefs that my mom bought me from a local korean supermarket because they were cheaper. I ended up buying 20 handkerchiefs. I liked using a new cloth every time he burped/spit up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-279550 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 07:36:33 +0000 erwoo 279550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I use them all the time for spit ups and any liquid accidents. They are great! Highly recommend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-279549 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 07:32:22 +0000 looch 279549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them as part of the bath routine, for drying my son off. He gets wrapped in a towel, but to dry him off, I use a burp cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-277920 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:27:12 +0000 Mrsbells 277920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone<br /> @mrstilly: Thanks I will check them out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-277888 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:10:49 +0000 Weagle 277888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: I LOVE my GMD prefolds! As diapers and burp cloths! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-277299 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:46:01 +0000 mrstilly 277299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I recommend OsoCozy prefolds in size 2. I had both those and some gerber prefolds and the OsoCozy were much more absorbent. I always reached for them first. The gerbers are still much better than burp cloths you can get in the store though. I had a couple as gifts and I never used them. They didn't wipe up anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-277288 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:37:19 +0000 yin 277288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still using them today, and my LO is 16 months old. I wipe off tears, drool, snots, and such. Before when my LO was tiny they were a lifesaver. The more you wash them, the more absorbent they get. I highly recommend them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-277196 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:57:51 +0000 runsyellowlites 277196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely use the gerber dipes as burp cloths along with our nb prefolds that DD has grown out of. They're WAY better than the "burp cloths" the sell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-277153 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:42:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 277153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what we use. They are fabulous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276967 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 19:28:47 +0000 bienlivingdesign 276967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are all my sister uses! I ended up with 2 packs after my shower &amp; know we'll use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276618 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:53:43 +0000 leelee 276618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Use them and love them. We have several types of burp cloths but the cloth diapers are by far our favorite. I attached some cute fabrics to them to make them look nicer.

I use them more for our dog's barfy accidents!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276486 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:01:34 +0000 calsmom 276486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A user here recommended the OsoCozy prefolds. As a mommy with an infant that spits up massive quantities, we are very happy with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276481 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:55:24 +0000 tysonja 276481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha i have a gerber prefold sitting right beside me as a burp cloth.... working pretty good so far! a good not too big (ex. blanket) &amp; not too small (ex. washcloth) size and easy to wash. </p> <p>i have my eye on the green mountain prefolds though as burp cloths... they look even softer and absorbent... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276470 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:42:33 +0000 Mrsbells 276470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. I may purchase a few at some point </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276384 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:56:05 +0000 purrpletulips 276384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found they came in regular and extra absorbent types. I bought the extra absorbent and they worked great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276365 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:47:47 +0000 JennyD 276365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister uses them. I think they work fine. She was kind of devastated to find out they were actually diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276341 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:31:42 +0000 Weagle 276341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! The best burp cloths! Any kind of prefold is better than cloths branded as burp cloths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276336 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:30:14 +0000 chopsuey 276336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Lo didn't spit up much, so I dabbed the corners of her mouth with her blanket usually. Haha or my shirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276328 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:24:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 276328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a crazy post! I girl at work just sent me a link to them and said "hands down the best thing for burp cloths, not pretty but they work the best!" So I was going to pick up a couple packages, and so much cheaper than burp cloths! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276323 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:21:55 +0000 Mrsbells 276323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: wow you never used burp cloths? What did you use then?<br /> @artbee: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276311 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:17:11 +0000 heffalump 276311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have them, they worked well. She had reflux so we used them a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276305 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:12:51 +0000 chopsuey 276305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used burp cloths, but I don't see why you couldn't use the gerber diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-diapers-as-burp-cloths#post-276260 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:43:57 +0000 Mrsbells 276260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard a lot of people using gerber flat fold diapers as burp cloths. Are they very absorbent and thick enough to work well as burp cloths? </p>
