It comes with 5 bibs and 5 burp cloths for $15.20</p> <p><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gerber-10-piece-Terry-Bib-Burp-Cloth-Set-Yellow/15162387" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gerber-10-piece-Terry-Bib-Burp-Cloth-Set-Yellow/15162387</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-101707 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 04:39:06 +0000 SugarplumsMom 101707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I intend on using cheap terry hand towels from Ikea and other hand towels I can find on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-101705 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 03:28:09 +0000 His Barista 101705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend got us some at target. Before hand we used blankets or hand towels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-101686 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 01:54:39 +0000 Sha 101686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the On the Nile ones, they are really thick and absorbent. I think they're a little pricey but I liked them way better than the thinner ones. They're really soft organic cotton which was good for my son's sensitive skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-101682 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 01:49:40 +0000 cupcakemama 101682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as artbee. We bought 1 pack of 10, they did the trick and they washed out well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-101676 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 01:38:39 +0000 looch 101676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still use the prefold cloth diapers, even though DS isn't a spitter anymore. I use them to dry him off after his bath. I use the towel to wrap him up and then dry with the cloth diapers. Got ours at Babies R Us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100444 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:08:28 +0000 lemondrop 100444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a couple as a gift, but I can never find them when I need them, so usually I just have a few baby washcloths stashed around various areas of the house. </p> <p>Keeping them within easy reach is very important when you have spitup running down your cleavage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100366 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:01:43 +0000 stiffaknee 100366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought two packs of the gerber premium tri-fold (5 for $12) and then "decorated" them (I monogrammed some, did an applique letter with baby girl's name embroidered on them, and then the rest I just sewed fabric down the middle!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100343 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:45:53 +0000 tequiero21 100343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a bunch of burp cloths i got as gifts. we'll see just how much of it we actually use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100331 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:41:35 +0000 Mrsbells 100331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: I used to work at ASDA!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100328 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:39:45 +0000 Mrsbells 100328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100303 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:27:40 +0000 MegWag 100303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought several packs of cheap, plain white wash cloths from Asda (the same thing as Walmart). I've been using them for wiping up spit up and clean up- they work just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100209 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:54:12 +0000 Maysprout 100209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a on at my baby shower and they came in very handy. For the first 4-5 months there were a couple in every room of the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100163 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:23:05 +0000 jennylynn 100163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got some from Target that are really thick and seem nice, but the LO isn't here yet, so I haven't actually used them. I think they were like 10$ for 4? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100156 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:19:26 +0000 banana 100156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the exact same ones as Mrs. Bee. Love these! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100151 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:17:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 100151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually made my own and it was so cheap and easy. I purchased an adorable owl-print flannel from joanns, and some dot minky. I used this pattern: <a href="http://naturesheirloom.blogspot.com/2011/07/simple-burp-cloth-tutorial-wfree.html" rel="nofollow">http://naturesheirloom.blogspot.com/2011/07/simple-burp-cloth-tutorial-wfree.html</a> though I made it a little bigger (I just used it as a stencil and drew it bigger)<br /> It was sooo stinkin easy, and cheap. I definitely love the flannel and minky combo the best. I had made some with a cotton knit and don't like it, it's not as absorbent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100140 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:09:38 +0000 Mrs. Bee 100140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>same as artbee. we used these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Prefold-Birdseye-Organic-Diaper/dp/B001CKYN5A/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1332522527&#038;sr=8-13" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Prefold-Birdseye-Organic-Diaper/dp/B001CKYN5A/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1332522527&#038;sr=8-13</a></p> <p>got a ton of use out of them with charlie, and still using them with olive. now i use them when i'm nursing olive at night to catch the let down from the other boob. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100138 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:08:59 +0000 heffalump 100138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I liked that they were big. It could cover more area on my shoulder and chest so it was more likely to catch whatever LO spit up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100136 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:06:13 +0000 Andrea 100136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the same as @artbee. LO also had a bit of reflux so we went through a ton of burp cloths at first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100134 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:04:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 100134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used burp cloths from babies r us... or gerber, I believe. they're just small, terry-like very thin cloths. We probably used those more than ANYTHING else in the beginning! I didn't like using cloth diapers because they're huge. I just wanted something I could bunch up and throw in my pocket or bag. </p> <p>I did buy cloth diapers because everyone told me I'd need them, but I never used them for anything.</p> <p>We used burp cloths as bibs in the beginning! Then we did start using bibs. But depending on how much your baby drools and spits up, you can go through several bibs a day. I found it easier to keep a burp cloth lying around for quick mop-ups, even mopping spit up off of his bib to make the bib last just a bit longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100133 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:02:43 +0000 heffalump 100133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the cheap old fashioned cloth diapers. I think it depends on your LO if you'll need a lot of them though. LO had reflux so she spit up constantly. Our burp cloths got a lot of use out of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-burp-cloths#post-100129 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:01:25 +0000 Mrsbells 100129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you buys actual burp cloths or did you used use bibs and receiving blankets as your burp cloth. Also if you did buy burp cloths, where did you get a good deal on them? </p>
