How should I wash muslin cotton baby clothes to keep them soft in the heat?

Wash muslin cotton baby clothes on a cold or warm machine cycle with a gentle setting, then line dry in the shade rather than tumble drying. Heat shrinks muslin fibres over time, reducing both the fit and the open weave that makes the fabric breathable. Avoid fabric softeners — they coat the fibres and reduce airflow with each wash, working against exactly what makes muslin useful in hot weather.

How do I size Epic pieces for a holiday with a fast-growing baby?

For travel, size up one from your baby's current size. A slightly roomier fit increases airflow between the fabric and the skin, extends wearability through a growth spurt mid-trip, and means you won't be caught with something that no longer fits halfway through the holiday. In heat, a little extra room is always the better call.

Are Epic pieces suitable for babies with sensitive skin or eczema?

Softness was the starting point for every Epic piece, not an afterthought. Parents of babies with eczema and contact sensitivities regularly tell us these are the only pieces their children will tolerate against bare skin in the heat — no redness, no irritation, no resistance at the change mat. If your baby has a diagnosed skin condition, check with your paediatrician before introducing any new clothing.
