Potty training your fur baby? Keep some burp cloths handy for when you need to clean up an accident. Not only will this save paper towels, but it also makes for a quicker cleanup.

5. Baby Blanket

Conveniently, our flannel burp cloths are 20" x 14" in size and are pretty thick. Whether you need a light blanket for a road trip or a stroller walk, these burp cloths are here to keep your little one cozy and warm.

6. Runny Noses

If we had a nickel for the amount of times we’ve wiped our kids’ noses with our shirts, we’d be rich. Give your shirt a rest and always keep a few burp cloths handy.

7. Bath Time

Not only do burp cloths make great washcloths, our flannel burp cloths can also be used as towels for newborns.  

8. Place Mats

Mealtime is messy—what an understatement. Lay a burp cloth down to utilize its absorbent power and then machine wash them after!

9. On-the-Go Changing Pad

Whether you’re planning a trip to the park or going camping, you can never plan for impromptu diaper changes. You can only be prepared! Pack some extra flannel burp cloths in the diaper bag for when you need to safely lay baby down to change a diaper.
