We are always being asked what they are. To begin with, it is a 36 x 36 square of the softest, most lovely cotton flannelette. Ideal for swaddling a new-born. The quality is excellent and they will last for ages. And they have many other uses too, try using them as a pram sheet or in a moses basket and on the change mat. Ideal when breast feeding to screen you and your baby from prying eyes. Spread on the floor and you can place your baby safely down where they cannot fall. As they are so luxurious and of excellent quality, they make ideal newborn bath towels. Flannelette is very absorbent and is much softer then towelling. Random choice.
