When it comes to babies and wraps, muslin wrap is the way to go. Its versatility makes it efficient for the parents to carry around in the baby bag. Every space in the baby bag counts since there is only so much one can stash in it. In times like these, muslin cloth comes as a life saver. It is soft, durable, compact, really easy to clean, and pretty much useful for just about anything.  

Here is a list of seven ways you can make use of a muslin wrap:

Feeding

When you are feeding on the go, you might find muslin wrap useful for various things. If your baby is easily distracted, try gently covering her with a muslin cloth. Just tuck the muslin into your bra strap and lay the light, soft fabric across the baby's cheeks. This will make sure that your baby is protected and is in total comfort. Don’t forget to leave a small opening so that your baby gets sufficient amount of air.

Changing Table

What if you are outside, and the baby’s nappy need to be changed? You either head straight to the parents' room or get hold of a change table. Let us tell you that these change tables often feel cold to the touch and might also be quite unhygienic. In such a situation, your soft and clean muslin cloth can be handy. It will make sure your baby's skin is not in contact with some hard, cold, and unhygienic surface.

Feeding Accidents

When it comes to babies, spilling food is inevitable. And so is burping! In such cases, muslin comes in handy. It’s thick yet soft feel helps keep your favourite shirt stay clean and spotless. All you need to do is just throw the muslin over your shoulder while you are holding the baby after a wholesome meal. Despite what comes up when you tap the baby's back (or not), you can be rest assured that your attire is safe.

Teething

Who knew muslin could be used when babies are teething? Believe it or not, it comes in as a handy "tool." You can freeze a small cube of breast milk or boiled water. Twist the ending and hold it in place while the baby chews on to it. It is soft and chewy so that she will enjoy the muslin. Now you won't have to worry about her chewing on dangerous things lying around in the house anymore.

Blanket

A muslin wrap is too versatile to be used anywhere. Its’ really soft and light and can be used as a blanket for babies. When you need a light protective cover to protect the baby from cold or are going out for a picnic or at a restaurant, you can easily carry it with you outside. Since it is light and flexible, the baby does not get overheated. Also, it is a little firm which makes sure that your baby feels protected and warm.

Pram Cover

A muslin wrap is an adequate protection from the sun. Since muslin usually comes in whites or pastels, your baby stays cool even when she is covered. Simply throw it over the pram or the car window to protect her from the harmful UV rays. Just make sure that you are leaving on some opening so the baby can breathe. Muslins are light and soft, but they are also quite firm. Ensuring a little caution is safe.

Playtime

By now this soft and light fabric has been used in almost every part of the baby's life, so how can we forget the playtime? It doesn't matter if she's older now, you can still use the muslin wrap for other uses. You can use it as a blanket to play peek-a-boo with her or simply to build a tent when it is too rainy to play outside. Muslin can be a perfect cape for the little hero your baby wants to be. It can be safely tucked into the shirt's collar rather than using pins which could be dangerous.

 

We have seen how much a muslin wrap means for a baby and her mother. It is an inevitable part of a mother’s life. Its versatility makes it perfect for almost every need of a mother and her little one.
