BIBS Muslin Swaddle Blanket

The BIBS Muslin Swaddle Blanket is a large, lightweight muslin wrap made from 100% organic cotton, designed for wrapping your baby snugly during supervised cuddles and settling, as well as for everyday jobs like pram time, floor play, feeding clean-ups and keepsake photos. Woven in a soft, crinkled muslin, it's the generously sized square many parents reach for when they want a breathable fabric that works hard across the day.

At 120 x 120 cm, there's plenty of fabric to fold, drape or wrap, and the diagonal reach makes it well suited to swaddling a newborn using a correct wrapping technique. It comes pre-washed, so it's fully absorbent from the very first use and arrives soft against the skin.

Soft, breathable organic cotton

Muslin is a loose-woven cotton prized for being light and airy, which is why it's such a popular choice for warmer South African days and for parents who want a fabric that doesn't feel heavy. This swaddle is made from 100% organic cotton in a crinkled muslin finish, giving it that characteristic textured, relaxed look. Do keep in mind that muslin's breathability describes the fabric itself o cleep, and it is not a substitute for a clear airway or a safe sleep space.

Made to be used and washed often

Because it's pre-washed, the fabric is ready to use straight away and won't need breaking in. It's machine washable at 40°C and can be tumble dried on a normal setting, so it fits easily into the endless laundry rhythm of early parenting. One thing worth noting: avoid ironing it, as the pressing will smooth out the signature crinkled texture.

Care

A note on safe use: Swaddling is a wrapping method, not a safety feature of the fabric itself, and technique and fit matter. Once your baby shows signs of rolling, it's time to stop swaddling with arms wrapped. A general baby blanket is not intended as loose bedding in an infant sleep space — the safest infant sleep environment is a firm, flat surface clear of loose items, with baby placed on their back. If a wrap can loosen, it can become loose material, so keep swaddled babies supervised and follow current safe-sleep guidance.
