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. You can’t prevent a baby from spitting up. However, to reduce spit-up, avoid overfeeding them or feeding them too fast. 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. When it comes to burp cloths, there is no such thing as too many. If your baby spits up a lot, you might go through three to five burp cloths a day. Even if you don't have the messiest baby, having plenty of burp cloths stashed around the house comes in handy with everything from bottle mishaps to leaky nipples, and it prevents you from doing even more laundry than you'll already be doing. Be prepared with at least five burp cloths in your stash and take from there. You'll most likely end up buying or being gifted more, but at least you will have enough to get started and decide what exact kinds you like.

But there are a few different ways to use them depending on how you feed and burp your baby.

Cotton, for example, is super absorbent and gentle on baby’s skin, while bamboo is a more eco-friendly alternative.
