The verdict

This bearmoss 12-pack of GOTS-certified organic cotton muslins, around £12.99, sits between a basic supermarket muslin and aden + anais's oversized squares. Best for parents wanting organic cotton credentials at everyday-use pricing, for the middle-ground size of over-the-shoulder burping. Skip it if you need a genuine pram-cover replacement — the smaller size makes it less versatile than aden + anais's oversized option.

These are certified organic cotton, which matters to some parents specifically for anything that goes near a newborn's face regularly. The size sits between a basic supermarket muslin and aden + anais's oversized squares — big enough to be useful over a shoulder, not so big that it's unwieldy for quick wipe-ups.

Compared with aden + anais, JoJo Maman Bébé's squares are a middle-ground pick: organic cotton credentials without the premium oversized-swaddle price tag, but also less useful as a genuine pram-cover replacement given the smaller size.

Is the Muslin Squares, 100% Cotton Burp Cloths, Pack of 12 worth it?

Frequently asked questions

Is organic cotton worth it for muslins?+

It matters to some parents specifically for anything that goes near a newborn's face regularly, and this pack offers certified organic cotton at a more moderate price than premium organic options — a middle-ground pick rather than the cheapest or the most premium choice.

How does this compare to aden + anais's muslins?+

It offers organic cotton credentials without the premium oversized-swaddle price tag, but it's also less useful as a genuine pram-cover replacement given the smaller size.

What size are these muslins?+

Approximately 60x60cm — big enough to be useful over a shoulder for burping, not so big that it's unwieldy for quick wipe-ups.

Can these double as a full swaddle?+

Not really — they're not large enough to double as a full swaddle, so anyone wanting that dual purpose should look at an oversized muslin instead.
