essentials cotton muslin dream blanket

We’ve washed this blanket a dozen times already and it still feels as soft as day one, which matters with a baby who loves to chew anything in reach. The four-layer muslin is breathable enough for afternoon naps in the warmer room, and the slightly smaller size actually tucks neatly into the strolle

The four layers make it just right for swaddling in our warm climate—no sweating through the night, but cozy enough for contact naps. It’s a bit smaller than I expected, but that actually works perfectly for the stroller and travel.

My baby actually sleeps through her morning nap now—the four layers keep her cozy without turning her into a little sweaty tomato, which was our old blanket’s problem. It’s compact enough to toss in the diaper bag, and the cotton gets softer with every wash.
