Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk––The 9 Lives of a Burp Cloth

Babies spit up a lot, even healthy and full-term babies. If you have twins, triplets, or more, then you’ll be dealing with many spit-ups! Cloth diapers are super-absorbent, sold in economical multipacks, and can be wonderfully ‘repurposed’ as burp cloths. When my twins were infants, I found it useful to keep a stash of burp cloths in each area of our home to catch the frequent spit-ups.

When your babies grow into toddlers, hang onto your collection of burp cloths. Toilet-training twin toddlers [say that 5 times fast] will result in a fair amount of ‘accidents’ around the house. Keep your stash of cloths handy to wipe up messes.

Even as your twins grow into preschoolers, the burp cloths continue to be useful! Your kids have advanced from sippy cups to regular, open drinking cups. Families with multiples have lots of little people at the breakfast table––the squirms and dynamics result in inevitable spills, often on a daily basis. Once again, your burp cloths can save the day by quickly cleaning up knocked-over cups. Paper towels and other methods work too, but why not extend the life of your reusable cloth diapers?

Families with twins and more need budget-friendly solutions to everyday issues. Repurpose your babies’ burp cloths throughout the early years to save your money and sanity!
