Organic cotton muslin cloths: Their many uses

Our cotton muslin cloths are 100% organic muslin squares, measuring 120cm x 120cm. This multi-purpose accessory is genuinely very useful and can serve you from the moment your baby arrives. Let's look at all the ways you can use them.

Swaddling

Swaddling a baby involves wrapping them gently but firmly so as to hold them securely and remind them of being in their mother's womb. Swaddling helps to limit the well-known Moro reflex that babies have at birth and which can last for several months, startling them awake whilst they sleep. This practice has other benefits too: it helps to calm baby when they are agitated or fretful, and also makes settling to sleep easier. To swaddle your baby, nothing could be simpler: all you need is a muslin cloth large enough to complete all the steps.

And much more…

Our maxi muslin cloths are available in a range of colours and original patterns to suit every taste. They are beautiful, high quality, soft, and above all multi-purpose:

• As a comfort blanket: Yes, quite simply. Babies sometimes adopt very simple comfort objects such as a small blanket or a muslin cloth. They love having their mum's scent on it and can feel reassured simply by having it nearby.

• As a sheet or blanket: When you are in-between seasons and asking yourself that familiar question: "Is baby too warm or too cold?" This very lightweight cloth will provide the gentlest of coverage. You can also use it as a sheet if you happen to run out of fitted sheets.

• As a play mat: Yes, again — I can almost hear you saying "How brilliantly handy!" And it really is! When the proper play mat is in the wash, or when you are out and about, the maxi muslin cloth is ideal for laying baby down on the floor with a few toys.

• As sun protection: Whether you are in the car or using a pram, a muslin cloth can be very useful for shielding baby from the sun.

• As a breastfeeding cover: When breastfeeding baby outdoors, a muslin cloth can help cover you up so you can feed your baby with complete privacy and comfort. Also, when it is warm and you wish to breastfeed, you can place the muslin cloth between your arm and baby's head to avoid the unpleasant feeling of sweatiness and the "sticky" sensation.

• As a changing mat liner: At home, you can use muslin cloths to cover the changing mat for extra hygiene, remembering to change it regularly. And when you are on the go, a muslin cloth will allow you to change baby hygienically wherever you are.

As you can see, super muslin cloths are an absolute must-have before baby arrives, and will serve you in endless ways! So, which design (or designs) will you fall in love with…?
