A baby muslin is a cloth, usually made from cotton, which can be used in many ways. Mums will know how many muslin cloths you can get through, so buying multi-packs is a good idea, so you always have a supply of clean ones spare.

Muslin cloths are ideal for when you are breast or bottle-feeding to cover up or to catch milk before it hits your clothes and they can be used to easily wipe baby’s mouth and clean up any spills.

Large muslin cloths can be used as light blankets or as a comforter when burping your baby.

We’ve put together our top 8 picks of the best muslin cloths, most of which have excellent customer reviews with a majority of 4-5 star ratings.
