Your Mama Likes Gerber Gauze Weave Cloth Diapers (aka Spit Rags)

My younger son is a “happy spitter.” We ruled out reflux when he doubled his size the first two months. Now, after eating, he just grins and spews like a miniature drunken Jabba the Hutt. It’s kind of nasty. It also requires more wardrobe changes than Eva Longoria at an awards show.

That’s where spit rags come into play. I consider these to be one of my absolute 100% parenting necessities. If I leave the house without one or two of them I enter a blind panic and start groping around for a less absorbent and soon-to-be-ruined substitute.

Gerber Gauze Weave diapers (used as spit rags) hold up well to multiple washing, are super soft, and are magically absorbant.  They’re great to drape over your baby’s nethers during a diaper change to avoid getting peed on, they catch flying spit and make a nice barrier between the spewage and your clothes.

Changeling Note: Because the cloth is very thin, they’re not going to offer total protection unless you fold them over a few times.  If you’re looking for more of a burp pad than a spit rag, these aren’t going to cut it.

I have about 40 of these (no joke) and I go through 4-6 a day.  I keep them stashed all over the house, in my car, and in my diaper bag.  They’re priced well and will quickly earn their keep by helping you avoid washing extra laundry.

Once your baby grows out of the vomitus maximum stage, you can use these as dusting/cleaning rags.  Have another use for your used spit rags?  We’d love to hear about it.  Your Mama is all about repurposing baby items.

Mama Tips:

• Tuck a spit rag under your baby’s leg in his/her car seat and you’ll have it there if unexpected bodily fluids occur.
• If you have a big spitter, bust out the feeding bibs early.  It’s easier to wash a handful of bibs than change your baby four extra times a day.
