The colors for all of its prints were a bit muted compared to our 100% cotton sheet winner, Rookie Humans, so if you really must have that more vibrant color pattern, Copper Pearl might not be your first choice. Some of its other innovative designs include chocolate chip cookies and milk and pink zebras, but there are also plenty of pretty florals, interesting solids and more animal themes to explore. Now, Copper Pearl alone offers 105 options to choose from, including the mega cute bison and cactus print I tested.

A decade ago, it often seemed like the design options consisted of white, blue, pink and maybe a couple of prints across many sheet brands. And baby sheet designers have upped their game in the last few years when it comes to design, especially since my first son was born almost eight years ago. Parents have to have fun where they can even if that means picking the cutest or silliest crib sheet prints.

If you’re breastfeeding and using a nursing pillow, laying a burp cloth over the pillow under baby’s head can help catch both spit up and any breast milk that might leak as baby unlatches. With baby sitting on one of your knees and leaning their chest over your other knee, hold the burp cloth across baby’s chest and slightly upward toward their mouth to catch anything that might come out. Once baby has enough neck strength to hold up their head, you may prefer to start burping them over your lap. Then hold baby chest-to-chest with them positioned over the burp cloth. Position the burp cloth over one of your shoulders with the majority of the fabric also falling across your chest. This is the most common way to burp a baby, especially in the first few months. But there are a few different ways to use them depending on how you feed and burp your baby.

How to Use Burp Clothsīurp cloths largely serve one general purpose: to keep things clean when baby (inevitably) spits up. Stock up on burp cloths that are soft, absorbent and hold up well after zillions of washes.

Because there’s usually something coming your way. Not only do burp cloths take the brunt of spit-up, but you can use them to wipe milk dribbles, sneezes or whatever comes your way. This baby essential is so important, it sticks with you even when you’re not actually with the baby.ĭuring the newborn months and beyond, you’ll want burp cloths on hand 24/7. A tell tale sign you’re a new parent: running errands with a burp cloth draped over your shoulder…when you’re out solo.
