The journey of parenthood is undoubtedly filled with boundless love and joy, but it also brings countless challenges in raising and taking care of the little ones. Hence, it becomes crucial to select the best clothing suited for the season, along with essentials like bibs and swaddle blankets for babies, among others. While fashion trends continue to shape our preferences for everything we shop, nothing surpasses the feel of the fabrics we adorn. Herein lies the charm of muslin – a fabric that garners universal admiration by infants and adults alike. A timeless favourite among all ages and particularly popular for baby clothing and essentials, muslin clothes and fabric blends are renowned for their unmatched versatility and qualities that seamlessly blend comfort with luxury in the world of textiles.  

But what is muslin, and why is it loved so much? 
In simpler terms, muslin is a woven cotton fabric known for its thin, transparent, delicate and feather-light breathable qualities. Known to have derived its name after the city of Mosul, where it was first manufactured, muslin cloth gained extreme popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries, with Mughal Bengal emerging as the primary exporter of this sought-after fabric in the world. 

Why choose muslin cloth for baby? 
The skin of little ones is highly sensitive, making them more susceptible to allergic reactions, irritations, and scratches compared to adults. Thus, it becomes crucial to not only opt for cute and fashionable products intended for little ones but also carefully consider the materials used in their fabrication and construction.

• Lightweight: Known for its incredibly lightweight structure, muslin allows your little ones to move freely, avoiding any discomfort typically associated with other heavier fabrics. 
• Durability: Compared to other fabrics, muslin stands out for its durability, which allows prolonged usage and prevents damage caused by repeated washing.
