Are these blankets safe for swaddling a newborn?

Yes, cotton muslin is a common swaddle fabric and these are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. Keep the wrap snug around the arms and loose around the hips, and stop swaddling once your baby shows signs of rolling.

How do they compare with aden + anais muslin blankets?

Both are cotton muslin in a multi-pack. aden + anais blankets are generally thicker and hold their softness longer; Cloud Island's are lighter and thinner, which suits warm rooms and tight budgets.

Do they shrink in the wash?

Muslin commonly shrinks a little on the first wash. Wash cold and tumble low or line dry to limit it; expect some wrinkling either way.

What sizes are in the pack?

The three blankets are the same size, a standard square swaddle size. That is large enough to wrap a newborn and to use later as a stroller cover or play mat.

Can I use them for tummy time and as a burp cloth?

Yes. The open weave is absorbent and quick to dry, so they work as burp cloths, nursing covers and a light mat for tummy time.

Are the colors the same in every pack?

The pack comes in blue, green and white with a playtime print. Exact prints can vary by pack, so check the listing images if you need a specific design.
