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?
-
I never used burp cloths, but I don't see why you couldn't use the gerber diapers!
-
We have them, they worked well. She had reflux so we used them a lot!
-
@chopsuey119: wow you never used burp cloths? What did you use then?
@artbee: Thanks! -
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!
-
@Mrsbells: Lo didn't spit up much, so I dabbed the corners of her mouth with her blanket usually. Haha or my shirt.
-
Yes! The best burp cloths! Any kind of prefold is better than cloths branded as burp cloths.
-
My sister uses them. I think they work fine. She was kind of devastated to find out they were actually diapers.
-
I found they came in regular and extra absorbent types. I bought the extra absorbent and they worked great.
-
Thanks everyone. I may purchase a few at some point
-
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) & not too small (ex. washcloth) size and easy to wash.
i have my eye on the green mountain prefolds though as burp cloths... they look even softer and absorbent...
-
A user here recommended the OsoCozy prefolds. As a mommy with an infant that spits up massive quantities, we are very happy with them.
-
I use them and they work well for us but LO doesn't spit up or drool that much. I use them more for our dog's barfy accidents!!!
-
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. Here's a link to a tutorial

They are all my sister uses! I ended up with 2 packs after my shower & know we'll use them.
-
This is what we use. They are fabulous!
-
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.
-
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.
-
@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.

@tysonja: I LOVE my GMD prefolds! As diapers and burp cloths!
-
Thanks everyone
@mrstilly: Thanks I will check them out -
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.
-
Yes! I use them all the time for spit ups and any liquid accidents. They are great! Highly recommend.
-
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.
-
As soon as I read the title of this thread I said, of course! I actually don't know anybody that would use them as actual diapers...haha..
