What can you use a muslin for?
- A handy clean up wipe for the vomit, pee and poopoo, almost anything that your baby decides to share with you at the most unexpected moment!
- As a DIY bandana bib by simply tying loosely around their necks! It works for both babies and toddlers.
- A swaddle blanket – perfect for the warm all year long summer in Singapore!
- A layer between the ice cold changing mat and your baby – it protects baby from the shock of the chilly mat (or dirty mat in a restaurant changing room) while allowing them to stay comfortable.
- An emergency pee mop wipe – for when your baby decides to take a pee break mid change!
- To gently pat your baby’s bottom dry after using a wet baby wipe clean-up!
- A mattress protector – way easier to wash than the whole sheet.
- Car window shade – just wind the window up with the muslin right on top, perfect for keeping the sun out of the eyes!
- A comforter (also known as a chou chou) – babies love the texture of muslin to feel and suck on to their heart’s content.
- Burp cloth – a simple and effective way to protect parents’ clothes as you burp your baby over your shoulder.
- Breastfeeding cover – essential for anyone who is breastfeeding and needs a little more privacy!
- A portable playmat – perfect for travelling to pop your baby on the floor while ensuring that they have a clean and safe space to play.
- Picnic blanket – to keep away the pesky ants and other critters and allowing for a great time in the outdoors.
- A wash cloth / flannel during bath time – and it will dry quickly!
- A peekaboo accessory – It’s a great way to add some fun visual interest while playing peekaboo!
- A blanket in the pram – for use as a sun shade or wind barrier!
- Teething accessory – simply tie a knot in one corner, dampen with water and place in the fridge or freezer for an hour, hold in one hand and let your baby chew on it!
- Bouncer or Highchair cover – protects your baby from any grubby situation while preventing their dribble and vomit from staining any fabrics.
- Makeshift nappy – not the most ideal for most but if you do run out of actual diapers, it will work well in an emergency!
- Tummy time – lay a muslin over a pillow and it instantly becomes a comfortable space for tummy time for your little one.
Considering that there are endless uses for a muslin square, and we haven’t even touched on all the things you can use a muslin for around the house once your baby does not need them anymore!
