Muslin squares are always in constant use with baby, they can be used to protect your clothing or furnishings when feeding and holding baby. With a newborn baby they make perfect washable nappies, without the bulk of traditional terry towelling, if you are considering washable nappies this would be a way of trying to see if you can manage, you would need to purchase a waterproof outer, a pack of nappy pins and a soak powder, so for a small outlay you could give washable nappies a chance.
The muslins will be used for all kinds of messy jobs the white ones can be washed at a higher temperature so remember this when baby starts to feed on solids.
The coloured muslins are especially useful when baby starts to mix with other babies to be able to know you have the correct muslin.
