10 Ways to Use Your Muslin Blanket Through Your Little One’s Childhood

Muslin blankets are one of the most versatile items every parent should have on hand. From the early days of swaddling your newborn to creative uses as your child grows, these soft, breathable, and gentle essentials truly stand the test of time.

Our 6-layered GOTS-certified organic cotton muslin blankets, available in three gorgeous colours, are designed to be breathable, soft, and kind to your baby’s delicate skin. Here are 10 clever ways to use your muslin blanket throughout your little one’s childhood.

1. Swaddle Your Newborn

One of the most classic uses, muslin blankets are perfect for swaddling. The breathable fabric ensures your baby stays snug and secure without overheating, helping them feel safe and sleep better.

2. A Soothing Comforter

As your baby grows, a muslin blanket can double as a comforter. Its soft, familiar feel can provide reassurance during naps, bedtime, or while travelling.

3. A Shade for the Pram

Protect your little one from the sun or light drizzles by draping the muslin blanket over the pram. Its breathable design allows airflow while keeping your baby comfortable.

4. An On-the-Go Playma

Whether you’re at a park, café, or a friend’s house, lay the muslin blanket down to create a clean, soft play area for your baby or toddler.

5. A Lightweight Blanket for Naps

Ideal for warm summer days or layering during cooler weather, muslin blankets are lightweight yet cosy enough for naps at home or on the go.

6. A Towel for Pool or Beach Days

Thanks to their absorbent nature, muslin blankets can double as a towel after pool or beach adventures. They’re quick-drying and gentle on sensitive skin, making them a practical choice.

7. A Changing Mat Cover

Keep your baby comfortable during nappy changes by using the muslin blanket as a soft, clean surface over the changing mat.

8. A Burp Cloth or Feeding Cover

Muslin blankets are large enough to use as a burp cloth or even as a discreet cover while breastfeeding. They’re easy to fold and store in your nappy bag for on-the-go convenience.

9. A Canopy for Imaginative Play

As your child grows, use the muslin blanket to create a magical play space. Drape it over chairs or a play tent to build a cosy reading nook or a whimsical fort. This encourages creativity and imaginative play.

10. A Keepsake as They Grow

As your child gets older, their muslin blanket can hold sentimental value. Whether it becomes a treasured keepsake or continues to be used as a light throw, its timeless quality ensures it lasts for years.
