- Are these blankets warm enough for winter?
- They are lightweight and breathable, best for mild rooms and layering. For cold nights, use them as a base layer under a warmer sleep sack.
- How many blankets do I need?
- The four-pack covers a typical rotation: one in use, one in the wash and spares for burping or outings. Heavy spitters may want a second pack.
- Do they shrink in the wash?
- Cotton muslin can shrink slightly, especially in hot water or a hot dryer. Wash cold and tumble low to keep the size.
- Can I use them for anything besides swaddling?
- Yes. Parents use them as burp cloths, nursing covers, stroller shade, tummy-time mats and light blankets.
- How do they compare with flannel receiving blankets?
- Muslin is lighter, more breathable and more versatile, but flannel is thicker and holds a tighter swaddle. Many parents keep both.
