- Is muslin warm enough for a newborn at night?
- Muslin is breathable and light. In a warm room it works alone; in cooler rooms layer it over a onesie or use a heavier swaddle.
- How do these compare with stretchy swaddle wraps?
- Stretchy knit wraps are easier to pull snug and stay put. Muslin squares are more breathable and more versatile as burp cloths and covers, but take practice to swaddle tightly.
- Will they shrink after washing?
- Cotton muslin can shrink slightly on the first wash. Wash cold and tumble low or line dry to limit it.
- Can I use them past the newborn stage?
- Yes. The large square works as a stroller cover, nursing cover, tummy-time mat and light toddler blanket.
- How many blankets do I need?
- Two is a good start for one baby, since one is usually in the wash. Parents who swaddle every night often keep four or more.
- Are they safe for swaddling?
- Swaddle snugly with arms in, keep the fabric away from the face, and stop swaddling once a baby shows signs of rolling.
- Where is the Just Born Baby 2 Pack Muslin Swaddle Blanket cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $24.99, as of our latest check.
