Muslin cloths & bibs: Soft materials for everyday use
Muslin cloths and bibs are essentials for life with a baby. Soft fabrics like organic cotton and muslin are breathable and kind to sensitive skin, making them perfect for burping, wiping up dribble or providing a light shade. Bibs with waterproof backs keep clothes clean during meals and are easy to fasten. When choosing cloths and bibs, look for gentle materials and neat seams so that your little one is always comfortable.
Caring for and using cloths and bibs
Wash your cloths and bibs at 40 °C to keep them hygienic. Organic cotton is easy to care for and can go in the dryer when time is short. Pre-treat stains with a natural soap before washing them with your other baby clothes. Large muslin cloths double as lightweight blankets for the pram or as cuddle cloths. Sets of bibs ensure you always have a clean one to hand; replace it after every meal so that no odours linger.
Seasonal tips and combinations
On warm days, choose lightweight muslin cloths with an open weave to keep air circulating. In cooler weather, thicker cotton cloths add warmth and can be combined with a cosy hat & beanie. Long-sleeved bibs protect clothing when your baby starts to eat solids, while little scarves add a stylish touch. Pair them with UV shirts for sunny days or wrap up with a soft scarf from our scarf & neckerchief collection. You can also combine them with one of our practical one-pieces.
Gift ideas & sustainability
Muslin cloths and bibs make thoughtful gifts for newborns and christenings. Give them as a set or personalised with the baby’s name. Choose products made from certified organic cotton, which is grown without harmful chemicals and feels gentle on delicate skin. Many manufacturers now use recycled packaging, making your present as sustainable as it is useful. Combined with a pacifier clip or a pair of booties, these simple accessories become a heartfelt gift that parents will use every day.
