Dumb Q - but are receiving blankets and burp cloths the same thing?

    No, a burp cloth just kind of goes over your shoulder in case the baby spits up while you're burping him/her.  Receiving blankets are big enough (usually) to swaddle the baby in.

    words out of my  mouth!  but you can (and I will) fold up a receiving blanket to double as a burp cloth.  receiving blankets are sorta all purpose, IMO

    ...what the other posters said....

    However, DS was definitely a vomiter, so we used receiving blankets as burp cloths since he would saturate a real burp cloth after one feeding.

    Not a dumb question! I'm a first time mom so I need to know these things too.

    So true.  Receiving blankets really are all purpose.

    What other pp have said. But I LOVE the Gerber flannel burp cloths!  They are very thick and absorbent(sp). My DD had reflux and they were great!

    Gerber cloth diapers make great burp cloths too.

    This! DS had pyloric stenosis. He needed to have surgery at 6 weeks because he kept NOTHING down. They were the best for burp cloths. A lot of the actual burp cloths are either thin or too small.
