Burt's Bees Baby Organic Cotton Burp Cloths, 5 Pack
Soft organic cotton burp cloths that wash well, with narrow coverage and a slow start on absorbency.
We bought Dodo Babies Baby Burp Cloths 5-Pack + 2 Pacifier Clips + Pacifier Case. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a well tested 5 pack of cotton burp cloths at a similar price, though it does not include the pacifier clips and case.
The short version
- Parents who want organic cotton burp cloths that stay soft over many washes
- Families who want a compact cloth for the diaper bag
- You want wide coverage for heavy spit up
- You need cloths that work at full absorbency straight out of the package
- You also wanted pacifier clips and a case, which this pack does not include
What owners like
- Very soft and plush against skin
- Absorbent once washed a few times
- Seams and fabric hold up well to repeated washing, with little shrinkage
- Compact when folded, so easy to carry in a diaper bag
Common complaints
- Absorbency is poor until the cloths have been washed two or three times
- Narrow, so they cover less of a shoulder than larger cloths
- Some buyers report color bleeding on printed versions

What it does
A set of five two layer organic cotton burp cloths with a three panel fold; reviewed here in place of the Dodo Babies burp cloth set, which also came with pacifier clips and a case that this pack does not include.
- Organic cotton jersey that testers likened to a soft, worn in t shirt
- Folds in thirds to sit on a shoulder, unfolds flat for cleanups
- Machine washable and dryer safe on low
- Sold in solids and many prints
A good basic burp cloth for parents who want soft organic cotton that holds up to frequent washing. The trade-offs are narrow coverage compared with larger cloths, absorbency that improves only after a few washes, and no pacifier clips or case in the box.
