Got my attention, fer sher...

Crazy thought, but what about those supposedly super absorbent Sham-
Wow things? (NAYY)
I see they're being carried in pet supply chains now for both messes
and drying fur after a bath.

Or would that be overkill? I don't know nuthin' 'bout barfin' no
babies!

Oh, the mess... THE MESS...

Even just two layers of flannel are enough. I had two pukers so to speak
and I would just use a receiving blanket folded, which would be two
layers. If you want to use batting you can but I don't think it's really
required.

This ends well. I used the measurement recommended here of 7" x 16". DH
walked through so I tried one on his shoulder. He gave me the same
wide-eyed deer in the headlights that we'd expect from Doc with his " I
don't know nuthin' about barfing babies".
There was an endless roll of good cotton batting in the scrap bin -
cream petal something - so I used it for lining. Ah. Lovely. Not too
bulky, should be absorbent and feels nice.
I wasn't willing to make a career of stitching burp pads but I did use
the hemming stitch: ___^___ (turned over) with the tension set on 6.5 to
put a sweet scallop on the edges.
So, so glad you mentioned burp pads. There's usually a lot of skinny
flannel scraps here and I know we could have enjoyed a stack of them back
when we were surviving new baby. Polly

we used a big diaper (nappy) folded to fit over the shoulder(thirds or
fourths as i recall), then tossed it a separate from the bum diapers to soak
then in with the rest of clothing laundry in the machine.
the diapers all got washed separate from any other clothing.
we had two kinds of diapers. those ones were double thickness to start so
folded were more than enough to catch and absorb any spit up.
worked ok for us.
babys spit up, drunks barf.
unless they're really unwell and projectile vomit.
huuuuuuge difference tho, aint no mistake'n the two.
