How often should you wash a baby swaddle blanket?
When used with little ones, swaddle blankets need to be washed every 2-3 uses and immediately in cases of accidents. As babies are still learning and growing, swaddles are often dirtied with spills, spit ups and food, making them a high risk of bacteria and dirt build up. On top of this, since swaddles are regularly close to your baby's sensitive skin, regular washing can help to prevent rashes or irritation.
Can you leave muslin in a cot with a baby?
No, you should never leave anything loose in a cot with a baby while they sleep due as it can be a suffocation hazard. When your baby is in their early few months, the only items that your cot should contain include a firm
cot mattress and a
fitted cot sheet.

How do you wrap a muslin wrap?
Wrapping a swaddle can sound complicated but if you take it step by step, it's easier than you think! Using a square muslin wrap start by laying the wrap in a diamond shape and folding the top corner down to create a straight edge. Next, place your baby on their back with their shoulders just below the fold. Once they're placed, wrap one side of the muslin across their body, tucking it under your baby's back. Then, fold the bottom of the cloth up, leaving them space for natural hip and leg movements. Finally, bring the other side across, securing it under your baby's back. Do a quick check to then make sure that the swaddle is sitting firmly across their arms but loose around the hips and you're done!
