What is a muslin baby blanket?
A muslin baby blanket is made from loosely woven cotton layers that stay breathable and lightweight, so baby is kept comfortable without overheating. Ours is built from four layers of 100% cotton muslin — soft enough for newborn skin, with a quick-softening weave that works for swaddling, the stroller, crib, or tummy time.
What is this blanket made of, and is it safe for newborn skin?
It's 4-layer 100% cotton muslin — no synthetic blend. The fabric is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 (cert #17.HUS.08214), meaning it's tested free of harmful substances, so it's a gentle choice for delicate and sensitive baby skin.
How big is the blanket?
It measures 47″ × 47″ (120 × 120 cm) — a generous square that's roomy enough to swaddle a newborn, drape a stroller or car seat, or lay out for floor and tummy time.
Why four layers of muslin?
The four open-weave layers trap a little air, which keeps the blanket lightweight and breathable while still feeling soft and cozy. More layers also mean it gets plusher and softer with every wash, without becoming heavy or stiff.
What can I use the bunny blanket for?
It's designed to grow with baby: swaddle or wrap a newborn, use it as a stroller or car-seat cover, a crib or nap blanket, a nursing cover, or a soft surface for tummy time. The bunny-ear detail also makes it an easy comfort object as baby gets older.
Is muslin good for year-round use, or does it overheat?
Muslin is naturally temperature-regulating. The breathable weave releases excess heat in summer so baby doesn't overheat, while the four cotton layers add gentle warmth in cooler months — making it a true four-season blanket.
How do I wash and care for it?
Machine wash cold (max 86°F / 30°C) on a gentle cycle with like colors. Tumble dry low, do not bleach, and do not dry clean. Skip fabric softener so the muslin keeps softening naturally and stays breathable.
Does muslin get softer after washing?
Yes. Cotton muslin is designed to soften with use — each wash relaxes the weave so the blanket becomes more pillowy over time rather than wearing out. A little extra loft after the first few washes is normal and expected.
- Does it make a good baby gift?
It does. The powder-pink color suits any nursery, the bunny-ear trim feels special and keepsake-worthy, and muslin is a practical, everyday favorite for new parents — which makes it an easy, considered baby-shower or new-baby gift.
