Let’s face it. Who really buys burpcloths? A few people gave me a package of crappy cloth diapers and I thought I was set. And for the most part, they did the trick. But then again, I was a new mom, and I didn’t know any better. There were no burp cloth testers or better, reviews that might have saved me some headaches and a few of my favorite shirts. I registered for the big stuff, like the stroller and the baby bedding, and didn’t take time to think about the little stuff.
But how I would have done it differently if I had known any better, or I had at least found the Burpcatcher. And from the reviews by our parentbloggers, this is the way to go for a shower gift or just a little something extra special. Whether you’ve got a child with extra burpage or just want a great burp cloth, our bloggers unanimously say, check this one out!
Most of the moms who tried out the burpcatcher never really had to use the pocket, but they still thought it was a fairly handy feature. “For those of you with babies with projectile spit up, or babies that have some force behind the spit up – this product is for YOU!! The pocket will catch the spit up.” And even if your baby doesn’t ever spit up, you can still use it for other things, like keeping that remote control in check over your nursing pillow.
Many of the moms commented as to how soft the burp cloth itself was, and while it might seem a bit pricy at $9.99, it would make the perfect shower gift. “The first thing we noticed is that they’re SOFT. Like, soft like the skin on your baby’s belly, soft.” “It’s better than the “using old cloth diapers as a spit up towel” just in softness (and I don’t care how many times you downy those cloth diapers)!”
There were differing opinions on the absorbency of the cloth itself. Most of our bloggers found it to be fairly absorbent, while one blogger thought that it took a bit too long to dry.
Overall, our bloggers felt it was the way to go, particularly for that clueless new mom. So, hooray for the burpcatcher — saver of shirts, sanity, and perhaps money, in the long run.
