Aden + Anais Metallic Muslins
We absolutely love the newest additions to the aden + anais muslins, these stunning metallic 3 packs come in 4 colour schemes, Primrose, Skylight, Gold and Silver.
The 100% cotton muslin multi-use cloths are some of the softest muslins we have come across and their size make them perfect for throwing in your changing bag. They are ideal for mopping up spills, protecting clothing while burping and feeding baby and of course soft enough for wiping baby's face.
They are extremely absorbent and they dry really quickly and can even be thrown in the washing machine, which just seems to soften them up even more!
They come in 70cm x 70cm squares as well as the larger swaddle size which is 120cm x 120cm. -
Bertie's Blankets XL Muslin Swaddle
These luxuriously soft muslin swaddles from Bertie's Blankets really blew us away. Not only are the designs absolutely beautiful but they are definitely the softest muslins we have ever come across. Many muslins tend to get softer the more you wash them but can often start out a little stiff but from the moment we laid our hands on these muslins we couldn't believe how soft they were (they even got softer after washing).
The muslins are made from a special woven mix of cotton and bamboo rayon which is known for its thermal regulating, which helps to keep the body warm when it is cold and cool in high temperatures, as well as being hypoallergenic, which is perfect for babies delicate skin and wonderful for eczema, not to mention its Eco-friendly production processes (bamboo grows quickly with little need for water and pesticides).
To top it all off Bertie's Blankets come in a beautiful high quality gift box, making them the perfect present for a new mum. -
