Toss these burp cloths on to the list of items that are too good looking to clean up baby fluids. Still, if you’re going to be wearing something over your shoulder to catch drips and dribbles, it might as well be stylish. The Modern Baby Co., formerly Quilt Baby, creates burp cloths in a variety of styles — such as “orange birds” — and combines the cotton prints with absorbent terry cloth. As one would hope for something with a messy existence in store for it, each cloth is machine washable and can be dried on low. The cloths can be purchased one for $10 or three for $28.
