What's so good about muslin blankets?

Question

I've heard nothing but good things but no one says why they love them!!

Answer

Our son is 4 and we still use them like crazy as blankets because he overheats. We use the dreams and bamboo dreams for winter. As a baby, we used them as perfect swaddles because the A+A ones are MASSIVE. We used them for breastfeeding covers, burp clothes, stroller cover, car seat cover, stroller/carseat blanket, changing pad if i didnt have it on me, floor/couch cover when we would be at friends who had pets and he wanted to sit or lay down and play, as a very bulky makeshift bib for the teething stage when he went through like 10 in an hour and we were still at the restaurant hahaha, tied to the handles of shopping cart when i forgot the cart cover because he was always touching it/putting his hand in his mouth, one time tied two on top of each other to the top of the pack n play to create shade while outside doing yard work, ALL KINDS OF STUFF! Its breathable which is huge, because a lot of products are NOT like the carseat canopies. But watch out, they are beyond addicting. We now have like 60 A+A swaddles from all different fabrics (muslin, bamboo, and organic) and collections. We love them!

Answer

FTM, but they were recommended to me by a friend who said they were invaluable. I live in Louisiana where it's crazy hot/humid and she said it was the only kind of blanket where her son wouldn't overheat. Their value might depend on the climate where you live.

Answer

EVERYTHING. These are the BEST swaddlers if you aren't using a premade swaddle. They are also really good burp cloths. My daughter is 19 months and she uses them as a blanket now.

With this next baby I won't by flannel or any other blanket. Only muslin!

Answer

Just go buy a set and you will see! I hadn't heard of them before and saw them in the store and thought I'd see what they were like and instantly fell in love

Answer

Exactly what everyone is saying- they are great for everything! We live in central Florida, and they are perfect for the heat! We also have some Aden and Anais dream blankets and customs for cooler months, and my 22mo old uses them daily still. I have a huge collection, and we can't get enough!

Answer

They are amazing! I didn't ask for any when I was pregnant just the flannel receiving blankets. And a friend gave me 2 Aden + anais blankets and that's all we use! I just bought the bamboo ones yesterday they are even softer! Keep in mind that boutique store like buy buy baby carry the higher quality Aden + anais brand where target, babies r us And other stores like that carry Aden by Aden + anais which is a little tougher and cheaper than what I meantioned above, but still amazing. I bought off brand and they suck.

Answer

Good for those warmer months. :)

Answer

I love them bc 1- they are a light weight and I live in the south. So it's a great weight for here. 2- the my stretch and being thin they make a great swaddle. Plus they are all cotton with is a personal preference of mine.

Answer

Not good for swaddling but great on a hot day, to cover car seats, shield the sun, etc. I like them a lot.

Answer

Good to know we got a few for a shower gift I thought they were just any old blanket. Washed and put away but I now have nonidea what ones they are.
