Muslin Swaddle Blankets:

Caring for Your 100% Cotton Muslin Swaddle Blankets

We know how precious your little one is, and we want their swaddles to stay soft, safe, and beautiful. Here's how to care for your 100% cotton muslin swaddle blankets:

Washing:

• Machine wash cold: Always wash your muslin swaddles in cold water with like colors. This helps prevent shrinking and preserves the fabric's softness.
• Inside out: Turning the blankets inside out before washing helps protect the delicate muslin weave and prevents pilling.
• Mild detergent: Use a gentle, baby-safe detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners. Fabric softeners can coat the muslin fibers and reduce breathability.  

Drying:

• Air dry preferred: For best results and to prolong the life of your swaddles, hang or lay them flat to air dry.  
• Tumble dry low (if needed): If you must use a dryer, tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. Remove promptly to avoid over-drying. Over-drying can make the muslin stiff.

Bleaching:

• Do not bleach: Bleach is harsh and will damage the delicate muslin fibers.  

Ironing:

• Low heat (if needed): Muslin usually doesn't require ironing. However, if you wish to iron, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the blanket.

Additional Tips for Keeping Your Swaddles Soft and Safe:

• Wash before first use: Washing the blankets before the first use will help soften the fabric and remove any potential lint or residue from the manufacturing process.  
• Avoid harsh detergents or chemicals: Stick to gentle, baby-safe detergents.
• Inspect regularly: Check the blankets regularly for any signs of wear and tear, such as tears, holes, or loose threads. Discard any damaged blankets for your baby's safety.
• Proper storage: Store clean swaddles in a dry, cool place.

By following these simple care instructions, you can keep your 100% cotton muslin swaddle blankets soft, comfortable, and safe for your baby, ensuring they last through countless cuddles and snuggles.

Socks and Wrist Rattles:

Caring for Your Baby Rattle Socks and Wrist Rattles

These fun and engaging rattles are designed to delight your little one. To keep them clean, safe, and stimulating, please follow these care instructions:

Washing:

• Hand wash preferred: The best way to maintain the quality and vibrancy of these rattles is to hand wash them with a gentle baby-safe soap.  
• Cold water: Use cold water to avoid shrinking or damage to the fabrics and sound components.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or other harsh chemicals. These can irritate your baby's sensitive skin and potentially damage the rattles.

Drying:

• Air dry completely: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring) and allow the rattles to air dry completely. This is crucial to prevent mold or mildew from forming inside.
• Do not tumble dry: Avoid putting the rattles in the dryer as high heat can damage the materials and the sound mechanisms.  

Cleaning:

• Spot cleaning: For minor spills or dirt, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Surface cleaning: If hand washing isn't possible, you can surface clean with baby-safe wipes. Make sure the rattles are completely dry before giving them back to your baby.

Inspecting:

• Check regularly: Before each use, carefully inspect the rattles for any signs of damage, such as tears, loose stitching, or broken parts. Discard immediately if you notice any issues to prevent a choking hazard.

Additional Safety Considerations:

• Adult supervision: Always supervise your baby while they are using the rattles.
• Remove when worn out: Do not allow your baby to sleep with the rattles or use them when they are overly worn.

By following these care instructions, you'll ensure that your baby's rattle socks and wrist rattles remain a safe, clean, and enjoyable sensory toy, stimulating their development and bringing them joy!
