    They are better burp clothes that swaddlers. I also use them to change diapers on when I am at someones house.

    I have honestly too many-

    I wont be buying any this pregnancy because I have all of them left over from Alek-

    I didnt use them all that often. Alek hated being swaddled.

    My sisters say you can never have enough. I think we only have 2-3 now, but we are registered for another 3 or something.

    Too many!!  I literally have like 20 of them (all gifts).  You can use them for all sorts of things - swaddling, folded up as burp rags, lay them out and change diapers on top of them, lap pads...especially the little flannel ones.  It's the fancy ones that I'm at a loss about...

    8 and i still have one more shower, meaning i will get more that i dont need!!

    i plan on using them for what PP said... burp cloths and changing pads, spit rags, whatever. they are kind of the catch all multi purpose blanket :)

    I think the final count was like 27 or something.  I took a lot back cause that was just ridiculous!! I think I have like 12 now.  Some are handmade so there was nothing I could do about those, and the ones that were out of the packages/used on the diaper cake, or whatever else I had to keep those too.  I loved them all but really I didnt need that many!

    I have 6 already.  3 big ones and 3 regular ones.  They are great for swaddling and they are the go-to item for:  burp cloth, sun shade, light cover duing a nap in a a/c blasting car/bus/train whatever.  They are also good to put down on a cold changing pad...Dr's table...etc.  Then later on if you cut them up they make great dusters!  :)

    I have four which is plenty. ;-) I got Carter's receiving blankets because they are super large and really soft. I use them as blankets in the car seat. They're pretty useless for swaddling. Most babies are done with the swaddling by the time they get home.
