Looking for Baby Burp Cloth Inst.

For something a little cuter, I get fleece and cut two strips about 15 inches wide and about 20 inches long. Sew the two pieces together about 1

Fleece doesn't seem very absorbent. It seems to me something like cotton flannel would be better. Of course, it's been a long time since I had babies and I always used a clean diaper (cloth, of course -- that's about all we had back in the "old days" :)

not 3 years ago I used cloth diapers as a burp cloth - it's one of 3 things I ever used them for actually - towel after the bath, burpcloth and now a days I use them for my hair when I get out of the shower - they are just the right size and keep the drips off my face without being as heavy as a real towel.

I have a whole stack of cloth diapers I used for burp cloths for my DD, and I already have them out in prep for DK#2. I did receive a few others as gifts, kind of a thin terry towel that was rectangular in shape. I didn't like those nearly as much as I do those diapers!

I used to use them to really clean the windows. Any idea where I can find them, maybe online? I've never seen any in the shops in this country.

Joanna, See if you can find a "diaperservice" in the yellow pages. They will sell diapers that are not usable for their purpose anymore. That is where I purchased diapers to use at my shop to clean the glass in frames. I paid about $30 for somewhere around 100, clean, if a bit frayed in places, soft cotton diapers. Linda in Tx

When I was doing newborn kits after Hurricane Katrina, I couldn't find them either. I did finally order them on-line at Target.com. I have no idea if they ship overseas though.

Is there such a thing there as a diaper service? After I did the order someone suggested I call a diaper service and see if they would sell some. Might be a possibility.
