Baby Muslin Cloth

The muslin cloth is the Swiss Army knife of fabrics for new parents: a shoulder protector at burp time, a light sheet in summer, an improvised changing mat, a backup comfort blanket. Made from soft, breathable cotton muslin, our rainbow muslin cloths add a touch of color that brightens up everyday life.

The baby muslin cloth: the accessory you can no longer do without

Ask parents what they should have bought more of: muslin cloths top the list. This square of muslin accompanies every moment of the day, from the maternity ward to the first vacation.

A thousand uses, one fabric

  • Over the shoulder at burp time, to spare the third top of the day
  • As a light sheet or extra blanket when it's warm
  • On someone else's changing table, as an emergency changing mat
  • As a shade cover over the stroller, draped on but never fully sealed
  • As a backup comforter, infused with the parents' scent

Why cotton muslin

Light, breathable and softer with every wash, cotton muslin is the ideal material for a baby's skin. It dries quickly, can be machine-washed at 40 degrees and handles intensive daily use without complaint. Sensitive skin does well with it, as explained in our article on caring for the skin of babies and children.

How many should you plan for?

Six to eight muslin cloths make a comfortable base: two in use, two in the wash, two in reserve in the diaper bag. With that in mind, they also make an excellent newborn gift, certain to be useful and never an unnecessary duplicate.
