About this deal

You can’t prevent a baby from spitting up. However, to reduce spit-up, avoid overfeeding them or feeding them too fast. Muslin is a type of cotton that has a loose, open weave. While it may not be absorbent enough on its own to use as a burp cloth, several layers together — like the aden + anais burp cloths on our list — can work great and offer a touch of softness. What shape of burp cloth is the best? We’ve looked at the best baby muslins on the market that have been shared by our Community and recommended as a best baby buy. You should also consider the fact that some babies spit up more than others, and one solution to frequent spitting up (or gassiness or crankiness) is to burp the baby even more frequently. Material: Burp cloths come in different materials such as cotton, muslin, bamboo or flannel, each with its own pros. Cotton, for example, is super absorbent and gentle on baby’s skin, while bamboo is a more eco-friendly alternative. You may want to have a few options on hand before baby’s arrival so you can see what you prefer.

Burp cloths largely serve one general purpose: to keep things clean when baby (inevitably) spits up. But there are a few different ways to use them depending on how you feed and burp your baby. We spoke to three What to Expect staff members with five children between them who have tested a majority of the burp cloths on this list, in addition to my own experience using burp cloths for my twins.We utilized results from the What to Expect Feeding Awards, which polled more than 1,500 caregivers in the What to Expect Community. They may be just little squares of soft, breathable material but they become the multi-tool in any mum or dad’s armoury. Burp cloths come in a variety of fabrics, with cotton varieties being the most popular because of their softness and absorbency. In the cotton family, you still have a variety of options. There is flannel, which tends to be quite absorbent but a little stiff. Muslin, which is loosely woven layers of cotton, is known for both its absorbency and incredible softness, making it a popular choice for wiping babies' sensitive skin. Plain cotton works well, too, but you will want to make sure that the burp cloth has multiple layers so that the mess doesn't go straight through the cloth. Organic cotton is another popular choice among parents for the additional peace of mind you get knowing that no harmful chemicals or pesticides are going to be rubbing up against your little one. There are also burp cloths on the market that are made from jersey and fleece. Whatever fabrics you choose, they should be able to withstand frequent washes with hot water, as your burp cloths will get some serious mileage on them! We turned to the What to Expect community to gather a consensus on burp cloths that parents have used and loved. We also looked for features parents said they liked in a burp cloth. With that in mind, all of the burp cloths on our list:

Layers: Another factor that affects absorbency in addition to the material type is the amount and type of layers. Some burp cloths have a super absorbent layer in the middle to prevent mess from seeping through and onto your clothes. Others use multiple layers to keep your clothes clean. Normal baby spit-up is a small amount of white or clear liquid that a baby expels from their stomach during or after a feeding. Usually, it looks like regular milk or formula, though it can be curdled. How do I stop my baby from spitting up? Size: Burp cloths come in different sizes, and there are pros and cons to consider here. Many burp cloths are large enough (usually around 20 by 10 inches) to toss over your shoulder without worrying about getting a mess on your clothes. However, it might be easier to stash multiple smaller burp cloths in your diaper bag.

Most burp cloths measure around 20 x 11 inches, which should be suitable for most parents. Some burp cloths even come in a contoured shape. These are designed to look more than like an hourglass than a rectangle, so you don't have flaps of fabric hanging off the side of your shoulder. For bottle feeding or breastfeeding (also known as chestfeeding), there are positions and techniques that help a baby eat at their own pace. This typically results in the baby swallowing less air, thus less spitting up. Karen Sly, Finance Manager at What to Expect, has found that the Copper Pearl burp cloths work exceptionally well for absorption and have held up over several years across her two babies. “I like the Copper Pearl ones because they have multiple layers and absorb those big spit ups,” she says. “Since the outer layers are thinner material and the absorbency happens with the middle layer, they aren't as good for wiping up messes. I tend to use Burt’s Bees [burp cloths] for that instead.” Some burp cloths are made of multiple layers. These can help trap moisture inside the cloth, leaving the surfaces (that touch your clothing and your baby's face) more clean and dry. While you want to keep yourself and your clothing dry, you also want baby to be comfortable during burping. A cloth that soaks up spit-up to keep it away from baby's face feels better for them.
