We all know the horror of cuddling up that sweet little punkin only to have them launch all over our new sweater! If you have a colic prone little bundle or just prefer nice clean clothing instead of being covered in infant spit up, you will be excited to hear about Burp Catcher. The Burp Catcher is the next generation of burp cloths, and it’s most magical feature is the brilliantly designed pocket that will stay open from any position to catch any stray spit up episodes – and keep you spit free.

Burp Catcher was invented by mommy of three, journalist Margaret Pressler. When all three of her children were prone to spit up as babies she set out to find a solution. After experimenting with different kinds of pockets on burp cloths, Margaret finally hit on the right design: a pocket that hangs open without any hardware, snaps or scratchy Velcro. With the Burp Catcher Margaret didn’t have to stress about handing baby over to someone for a cuddle and burping became worry free.

The design of the Burp Catcher is quite simple, but sometimes the most simple ideas work the very best. I loved how cozy and soft the fleece cloth was, it is perfect to cuddle your little bundle against and is strong and absorbent as well. I tested the pocket to make sure it would in fact hold open and it definitely passed the test. My mother came by and fell in love with this product as she was a mother to the most colic prone baby ever – ME! She wished that it had been invented back in 1973.

Not only is the Burp Catcher the ideal gift for a new mommy, but it’s so affordable that you can easily buy several for each room in your house and your diaper bag, even the car! Currently Burp Catcher is available for purchase at Target, Creative Kidstuff and Big Blue Castle with many more locations coming soon.

So go ahead and pat your baby on the back, burp time is now smooth sailing! – Daria
