How do I get the smell out of baby clothes that already smell musty?

Musty-smelling baby clothes need a strip wash to remove the trapped residue causing the odor. Fill the drum with hot water, add half a cup of white vinegar or baking soda, and run a full cycle with no detergent. Follow with a normal wash, then air dry in sunlight if possible. This process pulls out both mildew and detergent buildup in a single treatment, resetting the fabric so regular washing works again.

How should I size baby clothes for a tropical trip?

For travel to hot, humid climates, go up one size. Heat causes the body to retain fluid and swell slightly, and a roomier fit allows more air to circulate between fabric and skin. Lightweight, loose cuts hold less heat and dry faster after sweating than fitted styles do — in high-humidity environments like Bali or Southeast Asia, that difference is noticeable by midday.

Are muslin clothes good for babies with sensitive skin?

Muslin is a good choice for babies with sensitive skin because its open weave creates less friction against the skin and allows significantly better airflow than tighter-woven or heavier fabrics. Reduced heat and friction means fewer heat rash episodes and less irritation in warm climates. We saw this with our daughter, who had sensitive patches that cleared up once she was wearing breathable fabrics consistently.
