Disana Organic Muslins 80cm are perfect for use as newborn nappies for the first few weeks. Muslins have a surprising degree of absorbency and are also extremely slim line. The larger 80cm muslin makes these perfect for naps and longer night sleep without the need for a booster.

Disana Muslins are made of Organic Cotton and come in packs of 5 in natural cream colour. We love the Disana muslins as not only are they organic and fabulous quality but they come in the larger harder to find size of 80x80cm.We love Muslins as newborn nappies as they make such slim line nappies and give you enough absorbency for changing every 2 hours which is the recommended change frequency for a newborn. This larger size muslin can still be folded into our favourite Jo Fold (see the demo video in our advice section) but the Disana 80cm muslin gives you a bit higher absorbency ideal for a baby that is feeding really well and wetting lots. These larger muslins offer perfect absorbency for using over naps and hopefully a slightly longer sleep during the night without having to add a booster. You secure your folded muslin nappy with a nappi nippa and use a Motherease rikki xs or small wrap over the top.
Muslins are used so regularly as mop up cloths and burp cloths these days (for which they are excellent), people forget that they used to be known as "muslin nappies".
Muslins also go well into pouched "pocket" wraps for a fast drying nappy. For an older child, of course, the lower absorbency means more frequent changing than some other nappies, but the speed of drying or the convenience of the pouched wrap for daycare etc may well be a determining factor.

I like the organic, natural quality of these muslins over others I have tried, but unfortunately found them too large to get a suitable fold my small newborn baby boy. Their generous size means that it is bulky and fuddly with a lot of layers when folded to a small size. It's a pity that they aren't available in 60 or 70cm squares. They would make a good general muslin as a burp cloth, etc. however.

I agree that these are rough and I was a little surprised when I got them, having never bought muslin before. But after one wash they have fluffed up like nobody's business!
Response:
Muslin is surprisingly hard when new and unwashed but takes on a completely different feel once they've been washed and holds a huge amount of liquid for such a thin fabric. Glad you like them.
I wanted to try these muslins for their larger size to use as nappies. Unfortunately this is the roughest cotton muslin I've found and not suitable for use on delicate baby skin.

sorry to hear you didnt like the muslins. they must be prewashed at least twice and this will make the fibres expand and fluff up.
