Muslin cotton swaddles offer benefits like:

Comfort and breathability
Calming and secure - soft and gentle touch
Gentle on skin as Muslin is made from soft, natural fibers that are less likely to irritate sensitive skin.

These organic cotton swaddles can also be used as a light blanket, nursing cover or even a play mat.
