So, if you read the title of this post, you already know that my go-to baby gift is the muslin blanket. But stick with me because I’m going to tell you about a new muslin blanket that I recently fell in love with!
First, let’s just talk about how absolutely awesome muslin blankets are!
If you’ve never used a muslin baby blanket, you’ve been missing out. Don’t feel bad…I never new about these fabulous blankets until I had my last baby (sorry older children). And I instantly fell in love with them.
Muslin refers to a finely-woven breathable fabric. That woven feature not only allows for great airflow through the fabric but it also makes the blanket durable. But, don’t worry, they are soft and perfect for baby!
Matter of fact, Muslin blankets are kind of like the “swiss army knife” of baby blankets. You can use them as swaddlers, toddler blankets, burp cloths, light weight blankets for in the stroller, a great breathable cover for carseats or strollers, nursing cover, or just a blanket to toss on the floor for tummy-time, play time, or even diaper changing time!
Let me get a little more specific by telling you about the Komo Bébé Bamboo Muslin Swaddle Blankets.
The Komo Bébé Bamboo Muslin Swaddle Blankets are made of 70% Bamboo and 30% Cotton. The Bamboo allows the blankets to be lightweight and helps the blanket get softer and softer with every wash…and let’s face it, with a baby in the picture you’ll be washing it quite often. Along with everything else. The Cotton in the blankets gives it its strength and durability; allowing the blanket to not only survive the baby years but the toddler years and even the next one.
The Komo Bébé Chic blankets come in a two-pack. Both blankets feature an adorable and classic black and white design :: one with a star type pattern and the other with an “XOXO” design. I love this because the blankets work well for either boys or girls, which means you can give them as a gift even if you don’t know the gender AND they can easily be passed down to the next baby in the family regardless of the genders!
And the extra large size of the Komo Bébé Chic blankets (47″x47″) makes it such a versatile blanket to have on hand. Oh, and did I mention how it’s super easy to fold or roll up and put into a diaper bag? They take up very little space in the diaper bag that you’ll want to take two or three along with you!
Seriously you guys…I wish they’d make one big enough for me. An adult size Komo Bébé Bamboo Muslin Swaddle Blanket…Doesn’t that sound great!?!
Until then, I will just keep adding these amazing blankets to the baby gifts I give to friends and family. Right now you can find the Komo Bébé Chic blankets (the tw0-pack) on Amazon for just $24.95 (plus free shipping for Prime members). At that price it’s fun to grab a set of blankets and some fun baby board/picture books and you have an adorable baby gift perfect for just about any baby!
Love swaddles! I dye them to sell and they’re always popular! 🙂
My almost 4 year old is still sleeping under her muslin blanket. They are so comfortable, breathable, and cozy.
I did not have Muslin blankets when my children were babies. But I can see how wonderful they are and would be a perfect gift!
