Burp pads?

I don't think disposable diapers work very well for burp cloths. So, yes on flannel burp cloths either shaped or rectangles.

I think burp pads are a wonderful idea. Terry cloth is good too. I really like having one especially when cuddling a new baby. They really don't need whatever's on my shoulder like hairspray, fabric softener or eau d' hushpuppy. Polly

My burp pad report. This seen in the OC relatives so take it with a grain of salt. They are a little special you know. LOL

A cloth pre-folded diaper is the starting point. Take a maybe

Disposable diapers don't work for that......sewing them would be way cool. I found when I was tending grandbabies I'd just end up using dishtowels, which is probably the closest thing to a cloth diaper in most houses these days......

I think burp pads are still very much in use. I was going to make some with leftovers from the quilts. I thought, one side of fabric, one side of flannel. I like the doggie-bone style too. There are some instructions out on the net (though you probably dont need instructions, they're easy.) IIRC, the main purpose of the burp cloth is to protect mom's shirt.

Thanks all! I remember a token male in my 12-step support group years ago who made a burp pad for a gal's baby shower. I think i will have leftover flannel from the backings! If they are a rectangle, any comments on the optimum size?

I am a recoverying OC native. Lived there 22 years. Most of my family there. Living in Victorville I am feel like the red headed step child sometimes. LOL I love them all but that doesn't mean it is easy. Taria

Burp pads were being used (and appreciated) when my newest ggd was born 18 months ago. I made several for my GS&wife, along with a changing pad and bibs . They're great, especially now that cloth diapers are not used much any more. ME-Judy

Ginger, I really loved real burp pads. The nice, soft ones that you could wipe the little one's face with. Ok, it's been a long time since I needed a burp pad, but babies' faces are still tiny and delicate so I vote with flannel burp pads.

Did we decide anything about size of burp pads? I'd hate to make some that were so big as to be a nuisance - or too small to be worth fooling with. Polly

Don't know about now, but back in the dark ages of the 90s, I used either a clean cloth diaper, or a flannel blanket. I made hundreds (strike that) a dozen or so double-layered ones, so I always had a clean one handy.
