We all want to make sure we are getting our money's worth, so here are five great ways to use your muslin squares: as a reliable burp cloth, a changing mat, and more! Make the most of your muslin squares today.

The standard size for a baby muslin square is usually 60 x 60 cm / 24 x 24 inches.


What are muslin squares used for?

  • Burp cloth. Baby muslin squares are great for this purpose. They can be draped over the shoulder to easily catch bub’s mess and save your clothing from any spills. Having muslin squares in different places around the house is also very helpful for quickly cleaning up spit and other messes. They are absorbent and can easily be thrown in the washing machine.

  • Changing mat. Baby's comfort is key, which is why muslin cloth is one of the best choices for on-the-go convenience. Perfect for quick changes, they fold easily to fit into any bag and are machine washable for when accidents happen. Your little one deserves the best - and muslin squares are the perfect companion on your journeys!

  • Nursing cover. Having a muslin square on hand when breastfeeding in public is a must-have to provide you and your baby privacy while maintaining comfort. It's a simple way to keep both of you feeling at ease while allowing air to circulate. If you would prefer more coverage, muslin blankets might be a more suitable choice.

  • Bib. Tying a muslin square around your baby's neck can act as a bib to catch any drool or dribble.

  • Blanket. When it’s warm, a muslin square can be an ideal substitute for a blanket. Its weightless material is all that your little one needs to stay snug and comfortable in hot weather! If you are looking for a larger but still a lightweight and soft blanket, muslin swaddles might be a better alternative.


How many muslin squares do I need?

We definitively suggest that you have between 3-5 muslin squares, so you never run short. Keep one in a pram, the nursery and have another accessible around the house. Initially, these will come in handy for diaper catastrophes, spills or even as a comforter.
