Is a 6-layer muslin blanket warm enough for winter?

It is a mid-weight blanket, warmer than a single-layer swaddle but much lighter than fleece or quilted bedding. It suits heated rooms and mild weather; in a cold room most parents add a sleep sack or a heavier blanket.

Can I use it for swaddling a newborn?

Yes. At 110 x 110 cm the square is big enough to wrap a newborn with fabric to spare. The six layers make it bulkier than a thin muslin swaddle, so the wrap sits thicker around the baby.

How does it compare with a single-layer muslin swaddle?

It is noticeably thicker and warmer, and better for naps and stroller use. Single-layer muslin is more breathable and easier to wrap tightly, so many parents keep both on hand.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or line dry. Muslin softens with each wash, but hot water and high heat can shrink it and roughen the weave.

What comes in the pack?

Two blankets, each 110 x 110 cm, in assorted prints. The two are not identical, so the pair gives you a spare while one is being washed.

Is it safe to put in a crib with a baby?

Health bodies advise keeping cribs free of loose blankets for infants under about a year. Use it for swaddling, covering, tummy time and the stroller, and follow your pediatrician's guidance for sleep.
