I am in that time of my life in which every month I know someone having a baby, and I love it! I know new moms need “registry gifts” but when I was pregnant I really remembered the people who got me something original and different. I also had two colic-y babies who went through about 15 burp cloths, bibs and onesies a day! So, that’s my go to handmade gift. Any combination of the 3 make the perfect baby gift set, you just can’t have too many! Save the cute outfits for when they are older am I right?

Being the spit up expert that I am – I became a burp cloth connoisseur (should I add that to my resume?). Hands down the BEST BURP CLOTHS ever are the Gerber Cloth Diapers. No, Gerber does not know I’m saying this, I wish they did, but I just love them that much! They are the perfect weight, size, texture… I could go on. But a white cloth diaper is kind of boring so I always have to make them pretty.
I talked about how I make them in a previous post HERE. But it’s really simple! For these I just cut a piece of fabric a little larger than the middle section. I traced with a pencil on the wrong side of the fabric to measure the correct size. Then I used my serger and serged the edges, if you don’t have one you could just fold under to make a hem. Then I sewed them down. Easy.
I paired these with a burp cloth. I use my own template because I like them a little longer than average.
I just free-handed the initial and used wonder under with a zig-zag stitch all the way around.
Has anyone used this style of burp cloths? Trust me, if you give this at a shower, the mom will be calling you in a few months asking for more :)

Yep! Those gerber cloths are the best!!! No other burp cloth is worth having IMO. I LOVED all the personalized gifts I got like that when I was pregnant.

Fortunately her colleague had the same problem
and was real understanding but most people aren’t that lucky.
You must also put away the fear of drinking fluids, though
it is quite common for individuals with incontinence problems to
drink less liquid. Choose a diaper brand for your baby that offers
both- comfort as well as protection.
