Don’t you hate when you go to burp the babe and the little one burps all over the back of your dry-clean only blouse? Or what about making a quick switch to the other side to give your patted-out hand a rest and bluh, the baby burps without any burp cloth protecting you from all that spit up? Well, one mom got so tired of these things that she actually did something about it. She designed her own burp cloths and now is selling them to the rest of us.

Skyoozmee was created for making feeding time a little bit easier and a whole lot cleaner. This unique design covers your chest, back and both your shoulders. The burp cloth will stay in place because it has a fastened velcro in the back to keep it in place. So, besides looking like you are wearing an adult bib, this burp cloth is the answer to keeping YOU clean.

The cloths are made of 2 layers of flannel material. This double layer is nice because nothing can seep through and you don’t get wet. Skyoozmee burp cloths come in 5 different designs including a masculine style, so you can have Dad looking good using his very own bib-like burp cloth.-Amber

Oops! Baby did it again. She spit up while you held her over your shoulder and completely missed the burp cloth. If only that burp cloth had been designed with you in mind and not how to refashion your standard cloth diaper. But wait, there actually is a burp cloth made to hug your neck and shoulder so those “oops” land where they’re supposed to. No surprise it’s made by JJ Cole, a company whose products are always designed with both parents and their children in mind.

JJ Cole’s new burp cloths are made with the same subtle-yet-fashionable fabrics you’ll find on their other products and include a thin inner lining for extra protection. The burp cloth is reversible and both sides of are super soft. It even has a satin trim, the perfect touch to what could be the perfect brup cloth. I received the unisex gift set, which arrived packaged in a classy, sturdy windowed box tied with their signature ribbon. It was almost too pretty to open, but I had to see if JJ Cole’s burp cloths were really as nifty as they say.

I thought I’d pull one of the burp cloths out, feel it a bit, try it on and then slip it back in the box for later re-gifting since my littlest one no longer requires the use of a burp cloth. But what happened is I took one out, tried it on, felt it and decided I had to keep it. In fact, I used it that very day as a soft cloth for wiping a runny nose. It was quite possibly the first time my little one didn’t dodge a nose wiping! The size was generous without being too big and the fabric truly was super soft. The gift box now has only two burp cloths so I’ll have to give them away separately (either that or keep them all, which is very tempting…).

Also tempting, but for different reasons, is JJ Cole’s Urban Bundle Me in its new bold colors: Frenzy, Lagoon and Sassy. I of course had to test out the Sassy for my pre-toddler and the recent Utah weather made for perfect timing. Disclaimer: This just might be a biased review. I’ve owned both the Original and Lite Bundle Me’s and loved them both, so I was ready to love my Sassy Urban Bundle Me before it even arrived.

It was love before first sight and love again after I laid eyes on that Sassy pink color! In typical Bundle Me style, the Urban was designed to allow safety straps to rest directly on my children and it has been crash tested as well. Believe it or not, safety is more important than style (but I’m really glad the Urban has both!). I really like the quilted outer nylon shell because it does a better job protecting against rain and snow, and though I love the shearing lining of the Original Bundle Me, I could easily get used to the soft chamois lining the inside. I’m really excited about using this in the car seat because the heat in my old van takes a while to get going. This will definitely come in handy during carpool week!

The Urban Bundle Me is just as machine washable as the others and also has a removable top so my little one will be comfortable even on those rare unseasonably warm winter days. My Urban has Sassy written all over it—literally—and I couldn’t be happier!—Emily

...a heck of a lot cute. Okay, that last part isn’t the best use of the English language but I’m talking cute as in “is it almost worth getting pregnant again just so I can use these adorable burp cloths?” cute, so anything goes! I have seen children’s accessories and clothing that make good use of fun fabrics but I have never seen anything like Lil’ Squirtz.

I received Lil’ Squirtz’s brand new burp cloth set and their Burpie Box, a gift set that includes a burp cloth, one-piece and hat, all in their popular Little Monkey collection. What sets Lil’ Squirtz apart is a technique used to create the vintage-meets-funky-meets-fresh feel of their collections. I had to learn more so I checked out their About Us page:

Lil’ Squirtz was inspired by … a French appliqué technique called Broderie Perse (broh dur ee purse), meaning Persian embroidery. Broderie Perse is a highly regarded technique of cutting motifs or patches from printed fabric and stitching them onto a solid fabric. Traditionally, the raw edges are turned under or covered with decorative stitching. Lil’ Squirtz took this technique, which dates back to the early 1700‘s, and gave it a modern twist to make their own line of clothing, all which have a frayed – edgy – funky patch.

The burp cloths with their yummy chocolate brown color, fun accent fabric and monkey patch (hand cut) were so cool, so adorable I immediately put one in the basket on my children’s dresser just so I could look at it every time I changed a diaper. (My babies are too old to use burp cloths but that doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy them—or use them to wipe little noses!)

The gift set with all its rich colors (custom dyed for Lil’ Squirtz with yummy names like marmalade, chocolate and blueberry), hip fabrics and frayed edges is so fabulous I’m going to hang on to it until my sister gets pregnant, and that could be more than two years down the road! (Yes, it’s THAT cute!)

So I’m thinking I “need” to add Lil’ Squirtz to my children’s winter wardrobe. The Melon + Little Monkey long-sleeve set will be perfect for Livi while the Chocolate + Bicycle long-sleeve tee is a must-have for George.
