Muslin squares
I am due in June and its my first baby just want to ask if anyone know the use of muslin squares.How useful are muslim squares, I am told by every "checklist" and website to buy muslim squares. Does anybody actually use them and what do you use them for? How important are they?

I'm definitely going to be trying out that tip! I bought a large pack of them from Mothercare but have since discovered that Tesco and Asda are much cheaper and just as good. I also know someone who bought a large cut of muslin fabric from the market, cut it up themselves and made their own which worked out really cheap and they're just as good

I probably used them more but i cant remember now.
I objected to paying ??1 each (which was the cheapest I found them in any of the shops) when they are all the same! After all, you can get sleep suits cheaper!
I am such a meanie!

I got mine cheap on eBay too, and they're fine. Think they were from Best4Baby.
we got ours from asda for a few ??
they are so useful when feeding, catching sick and dribble xxx

cut up an old sheet and save yourself the money - after all what did people do before someone decided to cash in on the 'muslin' craze... they cut up old sheets!

You're right though, they're not essential (just in my opinion, worth paying for).
We got some from Sainsbury's, M&S and Asda - hands down Asda's feel the nicest (thinking of using them on baby's delicate skin), following by Sainsbury's, then M&S ones. We just grabbed a pack here and there and built up our collection. They turned out to be around ??1 per muslin.
I washed and ironed them all last weekend and they are ready to go!!!
