Spucktücher

Spucktücher, also known as burp cloths, are pieces of absorbent fabric used by parents and caregivers to protect their clothing from spit-up and drool when holding or burping an infant. They are typically made from soft, breathable materials like cotton, muslin, or bamboo, which are gentle on a baby's skin and easy to wash.

The primary function of a Spucktuch is to catch regurgitated milk or saliva, preventing it from soiling the caregiver's clothes. This is particularly useful after feeding sessions, when babies are more prone to spitting up. Parents often drape a Spucktuch over their shoulder when holding a baby in the burping position, or place it in their lap to catch any drool.

Spucktücher come in various shapes and sizes, though a common rectangular or square shape is prevalent. Some may also feature a slightly contoured design to better fit over the shoulder. Their absorbent nature also makes them useful for wiping a baby's face or hands when they become messy. Due to their frequent use, Spucktücher are designed to be durable and washable, often being laundered multiple times a day. They are a common and practical item in a baby's layette.
