Newborn muslin cloths

In a typical day as a new parent, how often will you reach out for a muslin cloth? Many times, in a variety of different contexts and situations. You can pack a few in your bag to take with you wherever you go, even when out and about, so that you always have one to hand whenever needed!   

That's why they are a part of that famous newborn essentials list. Let’s take a look at what you can use them for:  

Bib 

Don't have a bib handy? Or are you out and about and only have a few muslin cloths with you inside your baby bag? No problem - you can use your muslin cloths as a baby bib, just tie it loosely around your babies neck at mealtimes.  

Anti-reflux, drooling and baby burp cloths 

Wiping away milk your infant spits up after a feed happens on a daily basis, just pull a muslin cloth for baby out from your bag to protect your clothes as well as his.  

Also you know how much babies drool, especially when teething! Muslin burp cloths are always on hand, ready to dry your baby’s face. 

Reusable baby wipes 

Newborn muslin cloths can also be used as a wipe, in fact they are ideal for a baby’s delicate skin! You can use them to dry their clean little bottom at nappy time. 

Changing mat cover 

A good sized muslin is perfect for use as a changing pad cover and for all those impromptu nappy changes, such as in restaurants or at a relative’s or friend’s home.  

Baby towel 

Koala Soft Touch 80x80 large muslin cloth is perfect, in terms of size and absorbency, for use as a soft newborn bath towel. 

Summer blanket 

During the summer, a cotton muslin blanket is all you need to protect your little one from sudden changes in temperature, even while out walking in the pram or while in their car seat. 

Baby comforter 

Babies love their muslin cloths so much that they become a sort of baby comforter blanket to have close by at all times, to make them feel safe and loved wherever they may be.   

Newborn swaddle 

Swaddling is a very old and widespread tradition practised across many different cultures.   

A baby, when snug in a muslin swaddling wrap, feels safe and secure, just like when they were inside mummy’s tummy. This is why they sleep more peacefully.
