I never used one single burp cloth persay... instead we got a bunch of those cloth diapers (Gerber) and that's what we use instead! I love them! And my mom sewed really cute fabric down the middle of them to liven them up! We use a new one each day--- sometimes 2.
I have at least 8 burp cloths and love having all of them. If LO spits up a lot, you'll probably need more. That being said, some people use receiving blankets as burp cloths.
dh just changed our sheets and found 12 of them, lol. ds has been drooling like a faucet since 2 months and we carry one around with us where ever we go. I'd return some of the 1,000 receiving blankets and buy at least 2 dozen burp cloths/ cloth diapers...
Go get yourself a 12 pack of the cloth diapers~they are great to use as burpcloths~and you'll be set!
That's exactly what I have. I also have regular burp cloths, but I only use those to wipe drool...they are way to small to actually use as a burp cloth!
Re: How many burp cloths do you need?
haha I posted the same thing---- I love them!
I go through a lot of burp cloths (2-3 a day), so depending on how much laundry you want to do...
But DS spits up a lot...
My MIL cut up a pack of 3 receiving blankets and made me 12 super cute burp cloths. They were actually cheaper (and cuter) than burp cloths.?
That's exactly what I have. I also have regular burp cloths, but I only use those to wipe drool...they are way to small to actually use as a burp cloth!
With #1 I used maybe 2 per day. This kid I go through 10-15 per day.
Blankets I used all of them for both kids often. I think we have 25-30.
