Burp cloths are super useful cleanup tools for babies, since young babies have a tendency to spit up when they are burped. You could buy specially made cloths, but your money could be better spent elsewhere. DIY burp cloths are not hard to make at all. Just remember, the fabric they're made with needs to be soft enough on the baby’s face, which may be up against the cloth while he or she is being burped. It should also provide a strong enough shield for your clothing. Your clothes will thank you 🙂

Your DIY burp cloths should be soft, absorbent and relatively large (about the size of a generous dishtowel). They should be able to fit over your shoulder with a little cloth hanging down in front and back. This will ensure full coverage and a nice soft cushion for your little one. So now that you know what the goal is, check out some awesome DIY ideas:
