If you have been following this series, I wrote a post on swaddling before and had some reservations on cloth swaddle because it seemed so difficult. I spoke to my Mum about it and she told me get some clothes one as they were more versatile. I found these from Maison & Moon ($45 for 2). Currently, they don't hold many designs, but one thing for sure, these clothes were huge.
Each piece measured 120cm by 120cm. For those who are unfamiliar with the brand, Maison & Moon are owned by mothers and their products are made with mothers in mind. The swaddle cloth is made from 70% bamboo and 30% cotton and is soft and breezy, good for our humid Singapore weather. It is naturally hypoallergenic and odour resistant. These swaddles are made large so that when babies outgrow the swaddling stage, mummies can use these for other uses.
Some uses include:
- Breastfeeding Cover
- Pram Cover
- Blanket (even for adults)
- Changing Mat (but not waterproof)
- Playmat Cover
- Backdrop for baby photos
- Towel (not the most absorbent)
- Cape for playtime
On first impression, I think this is quite a steal and I like the boy's classic design. When baby is older, I will leave it to him how he wants to use it. Since he will be traveling quite a few places, duplicated blankets might be needed to be placed at different households, so I am pretty sure these won't go to waste!
