Muslin is one of the most versatile pieces of cloth. The fabric was traditionally handwoven. Now it is one of the most common baby items. It is used for things like soother, baby blankets, baby swaddle wraps and comforters.
Let us have a look at some of the best uses of muslin for babies:
Swaddling
In the event you do not have a swaddle wrap, you can utilize muslin as a baby swaddle. For this, you need to fold the muslin cloth over and place your baby at shoulder height of the fold. Arms need to be positioned in a secure manner before you fold and tuck in place. This ensures that the baby is able to breathe comfortably. You can also go through some videos on YouTube that will teach you to wrap your baby up like a burrito!
Weather shield
For new parents that live in places having unpredictable weather, a muslin cloth can always come in handy. In summers, the cloth acts as a soft and comfortable cover that allows the wind to blow in to your baby stroller and protect them from harsh sun rays. In case the weather is a little bit chilly, muslin can act a great alternative to heavy baby blankets. In winters, muslin offers an added layer to keep your baby snuggly.
Burpies
Babies need to be burped after they are fed. It is important to expel the extra wind that they might have taken in during the process of feeding. A muslin cloth can prove to a boon for burping your baby. Just throw the cloth over your shoulder when it is time to burp the baby and you’ll prevent the fluid from ruining yours and baby’s clothes.
Peek-a-boo
Babies adore peek-a-boo games. When it comes to playing such a game, the muslin cloth acts a great entertainer. It offers a useful and easy shield to play your baby’s beloved game.
Comforter for Teething
Some babies like to chew and some like to dribble. Muslin baby cloth can act as a great comforter during the challenging process of teething. Just utilize the edge for your baby to suck or chew on. The cloth also acts as a great tool for soaking up the baby dribble. Go for a muslin cloth that is 100 percent organic. This way you’ll save your baby from harsh chemicals.
Shade
Babies need good amount of sleep whether they are at home or on a holiday with you. Muslin acts as a good go-to product in such cases. It can be effectively used as a night shade. It is light, so it does not block the sun completely and offers shade and protection to your little one.
Cleaning Baby
A natural cotton muslin cloth that is completely organic is one of the best products to clean your baby. Forget baby wipes, you’ve got muslin! The cloth is gentle and soft and makes for a great material for washing the face and neck of your baby. The gentleness of the cloth ensures that your baby does not get any rashes.
