Burp Cloths

A Summer-Ready Swaddle

While in winter, you want thick swaddles to keep your newborn warm, in summer, you want something more breathable. A great option is cotton muslin, which is breathable and won’t get too warm during summer nights. Plus, a receiving blanket can be used as a play mat during the day or even a picnic blanket for your newborn to have fun in the backyard. A super-soft cotton muslin blanket can pull other duties, as well, such as an emergency burp cloth or changing pad. 


Bibs and Burp Cloths for Backyard Picnics

While you may know you need bibs and burp cloths, you will probably need more than you realize. They get messy, fast. Bring a few of each whenever you head outside with your baby. Again, cotton muslin will be your friend, as it’s breathable as a baby bib and will absorb sneaky dribbles. Throw it in the wash, and it will come out softer than before. You will want burp cloths for the same reason. If you can find a versatile baby bib that transforms from a bib to a burp cloth just by unsnapping the back buttons, you will have a versatile item for your diaper bag for feeding on the go or saving you a trip inside the house.


Stroller Blankets for Shade

Are you taking the stroller out? Your newborn may still need a light stroller blanket. Alternatively, the blanket can also be used for a stroller cover, providing shade when outside. It’ll help you on any adventure, and can double as a play mat. 


A Bonding Top to Regulate Temperature

Skin-to-skin contact can help a baby regulate their body temperature, as well as feel more connected to you. A bonding top can help you practice kangaroo care while bonding with your baby and making sure they don’t get too hot. It also helps with easing infants into life outside the womb, helping to promote breastfeeding and soothe fussiness.


A Versatile Multi-Use Cover

A multi-use cover is highly versatile, performing many tasks. It can go from being a car seat cover, providing shade while you carry the car seat with your baby inside, to being a breastfeeding cover for when you need to stop and feed your baby. If you are having a picnic in your backyard, you can use it as a swing cover for your swing set, keeping your baby cool while still having fun.
