Baby nursing cloth/burp cloth?

⚡ Short answer: If by nursing cloth you mean a burp cloth (a cloth your baby's chin rests on while nursing to catch any milk), the general pediatric view is this: It's normal for a little milk to come out while nursing and wiping gently with a soft cotton cloth is enough.

Baby nursing cloth/burp cloth?

If by nursing cloth you mean a burp cloth (a cloth your baby's chin rests on while nursing to catch any milk), the general pediatric view is this: It's normal for a little milk to come out while nursing and wiping gently with a soft cotton cloth is enough. Constantly using a nursing cloth can leave your baby's chin area damp and cause irritation. After nursing, gently wiping with a clean, dry cloth and leaving the skin exposed to air is recommended. If you notice redness or diaper rash, talk to your pediatrician.
