All muslins are not created equal!

[CupcakeBaby]

One of the things I've started to pick up are muslin cloths as I know that you get through tons with a baby.

Just got a delivery from M&S and opened the muslins (these ones) and they are so soft and lovely.

The others one I have are from ASDA (these ones)

And the M&S ones are SO SO SOOO much nicer.

Won't be getting any more ASDA ones.

In fairness the Asda ones are MUUUCH cheaper, and everything from M&S is just that little bit of extra lovely!! I love the colours you got from M&S.

I had a good argument yesterday with my husband about muslins! I wanted our first baby "splurge" to be on some Aden + Anais swaddle muslins

His head nearly fell off when I told him the price! (No, I didn't get any lol)

Thanks for the M&S recommend!

Actually my M&S were cheaper than the ASDA - ASDA are £3.50 for 3 - so that's £1.17 each.

M&S are £14 for 10 - so normally £1.40/each - but I bought mine on a 20% off deal, so paid £11.20 so only £1.12

But in future for the extra 23p I'll always opt for M&S I think. And I looove the colours too!

 

[doggylover]

Ohh a bargain in M&S is something of a rarity! (Maybe I'm just too cheap?!?!)

Aldi do sets of bright coloured pattern ones on occasion too. In defence of the Asda/Tesco ones - after a few washes (and they get a LOT) they all soften up nicely anyway.

Ooh that's a very good deal for M&S, may have to have a look!

Hahaha - if I'd have posted from my phone and not my PC it probably would have been autocorrected to Muslims!

What is it? Diapers?

What is it? Diapers?

Muslin is a type of material used in lots of things. It's a really really fine cotton - very thin.

They're used a lot in raising babies because they can be used for all sorts of things. Think of them like a tea towel but nicer to babies because they're so soft and light.

So they are great for placing over your shoulder whilst you wind - to catch any spit up. Wiping faces and hands. Placing as a "protective layer" between a public changing matt, or sofa or something. They make a very light blanket.

And lots of things. The more I'm reading up the more uses I am reading of lol.

 

[MummyPony]

Ok do everyone says to have lots of them but how many is lots like 5, 10...100?

 

[CupcakeBaby]

We are going to use them as nappies until she's big enough to fit into our one size ones.

So we're getting plain white ones for nappies and colours/patterns for burp cloths/blankets etc.

Thinking of getting 12-15 white and then the same amount or maybe a few more coloured ones.

 

[CLH_X3]

10-15 is a good amount as obv your be washing them, unless you wash like once a week then get 20!

I had 10 for my daughter but gave them away/binned so need new.
