How do I wash muslin baby clothes without ruining them?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, and either line dry or tumble dry on low. Avoid high heat — it can cause shrinkage. The good news: muslin gets softer with washing, not rougher, so regular laundering actually improves it over time.

Should I size up for travel?

For tropical travel especially, yes — sizing up gives extra room for airflow around the body and accounts for the inevitable diaper bulge under clothing. A slightly relaxed fit in heat is almost always more comfortable than a precise one. Our pieces tend to run true to size with a little growing room built in.

Is muslin good for babies with eczema or sensitive skin?

Many parents of sensitive-skinned babies find muslin more comfortable than most alternatives, because it's soft, lightweight, and doesn't trap heat against the skin the way denser fabrics do. Heat is a known eczema trigger, so anything that keeps a baby cooler can help. We always recommend a patch check with any new clothing if your baby has significant skin sensitivities.
