Cotton baby blankets (not to be confused with the ubiquitous baby crib sheets) are lightweight, breathable and a must-have in any new parent’s arsenal. They’re also a great option for travel, as they are small enough to fit into most diaper bags.

Unlike other flimsy baby swaddles, muslin can be machine washed and dried for long-lasting use. It can also be used to protect newborns from the elements, as the breathable fabric is a good barrier against rain or sun exposure.
