MulmulBaby Frequently Asked Questions

About our products

What are MulmulBaby clothes made from?

Two fabrics. Our muslin line (swaddles, burp cloths, bibs, towels and several clothing styles) is mulmul, a fine, lightweight muslin woven in India from 100% cotton. Our cotton basics (onesies, dresses, sweatshirts, hoodie sets and tees) are 100% cotton. Every garment is one fiber, never a blend.

Is MulmulBaby organic?

No certificate, and we don't claim one. It's mulmul muslin, woven in India, one fiber, never a blend. That's the whole label. If a certification is essential for you, we'd rather tell you now than after you've bought.

What is mulmul?

Mulmul is a fine, soft muslin with a long history in India, where it has been used for babies' clothes and wraps for generations. It's a plain, open weave, light enough that you can see light through it, which is why it drapes softly and feels airy. Read more in muslin vs regular cotton.

Are your clothes suitable for babies with sensitive skin?

We make clothes for skin that feels everything: soft, single-fiber cotton with nothing blended in. Every baby's skin is different, though, and we can't promise how any one baby will react. If your baby has eczema or another skin condition, your pediatrician or dermatologist is the best guide. Our guide to fabrics for sensitive skin covers what to look for.

Care

How should I wash MulmulBaby clothes?

Two fabrics, two rules.

Mulmul muslin — swaddles, bibs, burp cloths, towels and our muslin clothing: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then hang or lay flat to dry. A hot dryer is what makes muslin shrink and go stiff; air-dried, it gets softer with every wash.

Cotton knits — hoodie and jogger sets, sweatshirts, tees, joggers and onesies: machine wash cold, tumble dry low.

For both: skip bleach and fabric softener, and turn printed pieces inside out to keep the print sharp. Full guide on our care page.

Will they shrink?

Like any cotton, a little shrinkage can happen — mostly from hot washes and hot dryers. Washing cold, and air-drying the muslin, keeps it to a minimum. If your child is between sizes, size up. Our size guide has measurements by age.
