- Are these blankets really organic?
- Yes. The cotton carries GOTS certification, a third-party standard for organic fiber and processing. That is a step above blankets that only claim organic cotton without certification.
- How big are they compared with other swaddles?
- Each blanket is about 47 inches square. That is larger than many newborn swaddles, so it also works as a stroller cover, nursing cover or play mat.
- Are they warm enough for winter?
- No. Muslin is thin and breathable, which suits warm rooms and summer. In cold weather use them as a layer under a heavier blanket or sleep sack.
- Will they shrink in the wash?
- Some shrinkage and wrinkling is common with cotton muslin. Wash cold and tumble low, and expect the fabric to soften and settle after a few washes.
- How many blankets do I need?
- The set includes four, which covers spit-up and laundry days for one baby. Many parents find four enough for a newborn rotation.
- Can I use them for anything besides swaddling?
- Yes. Parents use them as burp cloths, stroller shade, nursing covers and tummy-time mats. The large size makes them more versatile than small receiving blankets.
