A burp cloth over the shoulder, a soft layer on the changing table or a soft mat for play: white muslin cloths are one of the handiest things in the first baby months. At Tiny Giggles you'll find white muslin cloths with a cheerful accent from Pippi Babywear, Meyco, Lässig and nuuroo, in sizes from 70 x 70 to 120 x 120 cm. Below you can read which size is handy for what, how many you need and how to use them safely.

What do you use a muslin cloth for?
A muslin cloth has lots of uses. Put it over your shoulder when your baby burps. Spread it out on the changing table or a play mat. Take it in the changing bag to make a clean changing spot on the go or to dry your baby. And after a feed, wipe a little mouth with it. Because the cloths are cotton, they feel soft and absorb moisture well.
Using them safely
Don't use muslin cloths as a loose blanket in the cot or crib: in the first year, nothing loose belongs in bed. A baby sleeping bag is the safest choice. Never drape a cloth over the pram or travel cot to block sun or light either, because it can quickly get too warm underneath. So use the cloths while your baby is awake and supervised.
Pippi: sets of 6 or 8
The muslin cloths from Pippi Babywear are 100% cotton and come in large sets: 6 or 8 cloths of 70 x 70 cm. Each set combines white with other shades, such as Maroon Red and Baroque Rose with red and pink, Provincial Blue with blue, Stone Grey with grey and black, and Sunshine and Mineral Yellow with yellow and grey. Washable at 60 °C.
Meyco Feathers Clouds Dots
The Meyco muslin cloths come in threes with a print of feathers, clouds and dots. They're 100% cotton, washable at 60 °C, tumble-dryer safe and can be ironed hot. There's a set in grey, pink, black and white and a set in Stone Green and white.
Lässig Adventure
The Lässig Swaddle & Burp Blankets from the Adventure collection are a little bigger: 85 x 85 cm. You choose between dragonfly and tractor, in white, grey and gold. They're made of breathable, pre-washed cotton, packed in threes and washable at 60 °C. More from this brand is under Lässig.
nuuroo Barri 120 x 120
The largest cloth in this collection is the nuuroo Barri Circus of 120 x 120 cm, in cream. It's made of soft organic cotton muslin and washable at 30 °C. Handy as a large mat to lay your baby on.
On the go
A muslin cloth takes up little space, which makes it a staple in the changing bag. Use it as a clean surface on a changing table, to dry your baby after water play, or as a soft mat in the park. More from the Danish brand nuuroo is on the brand page.
How many do you need?
In the first months you'll quickly use several cloths a day, especially if your baby spits up a lot. Count on about eight to twelve 70 x 70 cm cloths, plus a few larger ones. A set of 6 or 8 gives you a good start straight away.
Washing
Most cotton cloths in this collection can go at 60 °C, which is nice for hygiene. Wash the nuuroo Barri at 30 °C. Muslin often gets even softer after a few washes. Always follow the washing instructions on the label.
Why white?
White looks fresh and clean, and suits every nursery and every changing bag. Because most cloths in this collection have a cheerful accent in a print or colour, they're never dull. And white can often be washed at a high temperature without the colour fading.
A practical baby gift
A set of muslin cloths is one of the most-used baby gifts. Combine a Pippi or Meyco set with a large nuuroo cloth, or find more ideas under baby gifts up to 25 euros.
