So, here's the thing about burp cloths...I was given loads of them when I was pregnant with my first son, and by the time he was just a few days old, I already had some favorites (based on practicality, and of course, aesthetics! :) Some were too thin to protect my shoulder, others too thick to gently wipe away baby's mouth--others were very practical, but just not very pretty. Eventually, they all ended up stained with PolyViSol spit up (I had a baby with reflux), so most of them went in the trash!
I had a lot of fun making these sets (and they are so soft I had to make
some for my baby-boy-on-the-way, too!). 100% Cotton on the front,
backed with super-thick and very soft chenille. They're soft for baby's face, thick enough to absorb, and well, rather pretty! Each cloth is
approximately 9x15", which is generous for wiping up baby messes, but
small enough to fit easily in your diaper bag!
